Moldbug.. i was going to point you at Marinetti, to see if he might provoke the same reactions.. (inconsistent viber, fraternized with Fascists, but really into educating the masses?)
Flies vs mosquitoes: flies are sometimes presented as a source of harmless comedy (maggots as medicine), but genocide (latinate vibes?) is acceptable for mosquitoes.
- 082349872349872 2y agoLet me know when Moldbug has a cookbook: https://archive.org/details/marinetti-la-cucina-futurista-1932/page/231/mode/1up https://archive.org/details/marinetti-la-cucina-futurista-19... Come to think of it, Marinetti may not have reached the heights himself, but we should give him credit for the assist[0]: not only Mayakovsky, but also Gibson[1,2]. For that matter, does Marinetti's habit of prefixing with aero- and claiming everything goes better with aluminium presage recent years' habit of suffixing with -coin and claiming everything goes better with AI? Mozzies bite, which regular flies don't. But was the blue tail fly another example of "let's you and him fight"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCMCKhMsSjo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCMCKhMsSjo [0] funny that games like LoL give explicit credit for the assist but the popular view of mathematics ignores that factor? the link of a node, in graphspeak? [1] even echoing down to Shnur & Glukoza: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuHbs3306RI&t=121s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuHbs3306RI&t=121s (russians love their chemistry references? is the city in the later flashback supposed to be marina bay Singapore?) [2] and while Gibson concerns himself with "high tech low life" (a cyberpunk chengyu?), he explicitly leaves a place in his world which is the equivalent of Huxley's BNW islands; the rich kids are up in the orbital colonies: https://nss.org/wp-content/uploads/Bernal_Interior_AC76-0628_5716-scaled.jpg https://nss.org/wp-content/uploads/Bernal_Interior_AC76-0628... EDIT: or a kid's book: https://www.amazon.com/Dubbie-Double-Headed-Eagle-Eduard-Habsburg-Lothringen/dp/1987970209/ https://www.amazon.com/Dubbie-Double-Headed-Eagle-Eduard-Hab... (and there's kind of a horseshoe thing going on: the few high tend to be foxes, because keeping the many middle lions in check can't be done by force, but the even more numerous low have their own trickster gods [El-ahrairah, wily Odysseus, etc.] because the low of course never have force, but might've been naturally endowed with guile — the signifying monkey, lion, and elephant are simpler, with 3 actors, than the 4 actors of slave, master, blue tail fly, and horse)
- gradschoolfail 2y ago[1] Mendeleev was the One, didnt see any monumental arches in the vid but the final victors appear to be 南蛮 [2] Elysium prefix all with glass, append some with hole, claim nothing?
- 082349872349872 2y agoI wish I knew more; between the opening song and the presumably idiomatic[0] exchange between vixen and cub[1], it's probably obvious to anyone who knows if the Zhu-Zhu victors (compare 1:25!) are speaking 南蛮鴃舌[2] or not. As for Elysium (2013), having watched the trailer and skimmed the synopsis and a review, it sounds exactly like the sort of movie a fox (or at least a maneless lion[3] who hires wolves assisted by vultures to do what his snake tells him to?) would want to show to all the rabbits (or hedgehogs or whatever creatures Machiavelli and Pareto think are below the foxes and lions): a hero's journey in which the One guy of Destiny getting in a physical fight saves everyone; if anyone in that world had been spending as much time knotting up nets as the characters in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Margin#Plot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Margin#Plot seem to, it hadn't been obvious to the reviewer. [0] are they chengyu? if not, they should be, like 高新低人(?). [1] stepping back and preparing his nets speaks to a fox with lions on the payroll? [2] Mencius (the original) had best watch out when accusing people of bird-speak; consider Qur'an 27:16, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conference_of_the_Birds#Synopsis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conference_of_the_Birds#Sy...

EDIT: or maybe the flashback should've been https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=22.14364&mlon=113.56283&zoom=15#map=15/22.14364/113.56283 https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=22.14364&mlon=113.56283&... ? I don't know my asian skylines well at all :(
- gradschoolfail 2y agoOpening song is a nanban fave.. Jasmine Flower reminds one of soviet themes, everything in the vid is in fact quite soviet vorland culture? (including the nonrussian idioms, lionizing the (dubbie headed?) aquiline), just need to redraw the eyes/skin/apparel, insert appropriate song (Nanbans perhaps otoh prefer dogs think poodles, faux sansouci) Its standard mandarin, but spoken not by a mandarin (nonrhotic, but also not taiwanese/shanghainese elite, ie most likely nanban, exiled from the mainland south coast, macao is a good port of call) id=41670593 <— alephnerd, you can imagine soviet folkways imported via the KR Anime studio is in HK, but signage in the anime is inconsistent. ( there was one Taichung ad?)) p=… refers to Aaronson’s blog.
