Ninja'd, but essentially true.

Hooray, we agree on something.

I went from BMI=45 to BMI=29.7-odd in 5 years, I think I've added at least 10 years to my life expectancy on that measure disregarding all the addictions.

You've probably eaten them already, though...

You must stop being a daywalker, Sophie.

I don't think being categorically sub-obese is enough to get one of those "X-hundred lb [whatever]" type shows yet.

Unless the world undergoes through an Arduous March and, due to my shit metabolism, I end up being the fattest in the world with a completely average BMI.

@Autphag: What are your beliefs about global warming and peak oil?

 

[Autphag]

@Autphag: What are your beliefs about global warming and peak oil?

Estimations of peak oil have fluctuated too wildly to be reliable. In the late 80s it was suggested we'd deplete all reserves by 2019, which doesn't appear to be on the imminent horizon. Then we thought we'd reached it in '07/'08 only for Russia to bolster its pre-Soviet capacity by refurbishing disused distilleries and oil platforms. Oil production now has had to be cut on purpose by OPEC, not due to resource insufficiency, but what is in effect equivalent to speculation of markets.

As for global warming, natural phenomenon for which the industrial revolution is both a scapegoat and mere coincidental factor, and seeing as a mini-ice age preceded it, a return of temperature back to HISTORICAL averages (not in the last 200 years only) would make sense.

What are your beliefs about the possibility that the new internet-based economy creates serendipitous opportunities for those willing to seize them?

What are your beliefs about the possibility that the new internet-based economy creates serendipitous opportunities for those willing to seize them?

It also creates new opportunities for governing bodies to monitor the activities of its respective citizens, especially since increasing moves have been made towards the unification of internet providers and regulatory bodies, having the potential to, for examples I myself have experienced, remove studies, remove freeware programmes useful for statistical extrapolation (this was namely an economics simulator), and so forth.

And with that, it's time for bed; my vallies and risperdal are kicking in.

I forgot to mention, the dose increase for risperdal was 0.25 -> 0.5 mg and for me that's pretty strong in that I'm sensitive to dopaminergics, though, not so excessively strong that I get the EPS-type garbage of blurred vision, retarded thought, and, get this, DELUSIONAL BELIEFS!, that I had when being trialed on 1 - 2 mg of the stuff successfully at age 16.

Anyway, that's all my pontification for the night. Goodnight.

 

[Autphag]

urgh, successively*, not successfully

cheers

So basically you're wrong about Climate Change as well

 

[Miss Hortensia]

Yeah, whenever there's some old or plain insane theory (or hypothesis, that is) floating around the Internet, you can bet your ass Chris will endorse it. Everything is legit, as long as it's opposing the "mainstream" academia. Rebellion for rebellion's sake. It's rather childish, like, he's never gotten over the age of 15.

 

[Pikimon]

lol @Autphag is retarded

Today, another Korean cultural musing inb4 'nobody cares', well, you're my live journal, so, you can comment negatively or positively, it doesn't perturb me, I value the discussion nonetheless:

Here are two people playing kayageum, arguably the most advanced instrument of its type (zither) with the tuning adjustability of its pegs (Arabic ones lack this) and variation of string number such that you can graduate from 12- to 26- string (Chinese equivalent has maybe about 13, I don't recall; the Japanese equivalent only has 14, and that's universal, with no 'advanced' gradation).

CHO OKCHU was a student at the Children's Palace; since this video is 9 years old now, she probably has a professional career in the art she had studied, and in this piece, she is playing Hwimori, one of the oldest composition pieces in Korean music:

Here is KYUNG NAMCHUL, a professional kayageum player playing the same piece in a concert setting. Obvioiusly, the strings have been loosened a little for a bit less of an abrasive performance, but I much prefer the sharp twangs of OKCHU's rendition. Hwimori is an extremely difficult piece and sets the scene for why Korean music sounds like it is anyway even without Kim Jong-il's meddling: fast progressions, uncontinuous progressions out of nowhere into ill-fitting phrases, twang twang twang, flange flange flange, and a whole host of other "I'm an Asian rote-automaton trying too hard to be creative" tropes, yet, it is soothing and peaceful, mostly as a matter of the properties of the instrumentation and its technique than the music itself:

 

[Miss Hortensia]

well, you're my live journal

Reading comprehension is a tough challenge for you, isn't it?

you can comment negatively or positively, it doesn't perturb me

If it really wouldn't perturb you, you would stop bitching and raging at us as soon as somebody ridiculed you. You love our attention, otherwise you would post your Korean music sperging on your own blog.

I don't think it's the most embarassing thing ever to have divulged my passion for ancient Korean everything, especially since I'm writing a book about it in an evolutionarily neuro-autistic context.

But, can I have an opinion at least?

 

[Miss Hortensia]

Sorry, but no.
First, I'm not that interested in Korean music and I'm more into the japanese shamisen. I don't know enough about Korean instruments to make any creditable assumptions.

Second, there's no accounting for taste. I don't make any statements about what's "superior" or not, because it would be highly presumptuous.

Third, your interest in Korean music ist mostly fueled by your delusions about North Korean supremacy. You aren't a lover of fine Korean music, it's just a means to an end to promote your views. You don't take it as what it is - simply beautiful, traditional folk music - you always slap your "North Korean's superior-hurr-hurr" stuff on it.

Fourth, North Korea has a tradition of "invented folkways", meaning that many elements they present as genuine folk material, is mostly modern stuff to demonstrate a unbroken line from the first days of the Gojoseon kingdom to today (you could read about it in books of John P. Synott, Jung Woo Lee, Udo Merkel). The irony with the kayageum roots in its modern re-invention: It was altered to match western instruments (World Music. The Rough Guide, Vol. II by James McConnachie, Mark Ellingham). But to be honest, I think it's more amusing that North Koreans have a hard boner for western brass instruments in their military music.

A lot of North Korean music sounds like it was ripped off from Japanese stuff anyway. There's one that springs to mind for me:

Doesn't that just sound like some magical girl transformation music, or is it just me?

Plus Poppy is better than anything Shitty Korea has ever put out.

Yes, 7 years of cephalic growth means nothing, of course, @Cuntster.

You're of a neurobiological background assuming you don't just link to some other poor tranny's blog and claim it is yours. So, you should be aware of the effects of maturation rate differential on how the trajectory of the growth of people's brains works differently, and will work to different ends, much of that on cultural mediation.

When I stopped entertaining the trolls in 2011, became one myself from 2012-14, and then entertained a mixture of two stances on purpose from '14-now, I think we can say, yes, my amygdala has sufficiently developed to suppress my anger.

You're always getting trolled Chris, who are you kidding?

This right here proves to me that he doesn't understand things like cryptocurrency.

Which will eventually be compromised like TOR was, right?

Please, don't be naive. Your governments have every algorithm conceivable cracked.

That isn't what Kulloja, Kim Jong-il's treatises on traditional music, or the KCNA/Rodong Sinmun say, and those will be primarily the sources for my book other than Wikipedia and Metapedia source-borrows.

Cheers.
