Good work to you Sir!



I was recently blown away by things that normally initiate the reaction of respect within my very proprietary framework of interpersonal values: the product of extraordinary expertise that comes as a result of effort; superior IQ but above all – commitment to excellence. A college budy of mine had managed to learn Japanese and Korean. Make no mistake, this is not some BS scam which is easy to achieve. The guys is capable of conversing at moderately sophisticated level using both languages. Again I must emphasize that we are not talking about few memorized pickup lines traditionally available as the sole instrument to those Asian-fetished perverted older gentlemen. No surrey Bob, this guy knows his stuff and it did not come easy. It came in exchange of time and mental energy.

Moving on, he approaches a hot Japanese coed studying in our 24 hours library and in about 6 minutes he gets a number. That in itself is immaterial without a careful analysis of the quality of said female. So again we are talking classy, conservative and soon to be well educated traditional Japanese-American target. Make no mistake; this is not some easy Daly City trash: no tats, no piercings, no highlights. The female is so blown away that one can clearly see that rare expression which communicates total obedience and desire to be controlled, told what to do as if the compliance it itself is a source of satisfaction. Talk about the ultimate Shmoo (well defined in Lucky Number Slevin) except this time the Shmoo is a consenting adult female completely free of any chemicals (yes I must make it clear that the usual instruments of the player-type do not apply here. This is the real thing gentlemen).

After admiring my friend I had to put by MBA hat and revisit the effort to product ratio. The objective of such analysis is quite pragmatic. It attempts to answer a fundamental question in business: could the same gain be achieved at a lesser cost?

Sadly the answer is yes. I am not being sarcastic at all. I wished the answer is yes because that will settle forever a question of credibility and meritorious rewards. That means the losers are losers and winners are winners. More precisely a winner can always be a loser but not vice versa.

However the same product can be achieved in exchange of much lesser opportunity cost. What makes this a depressing discussion is that the lesser cost I speak of is also available to the losers which makes the distinction between the two groups of humans fuzzy rather than a concrete divide – one which I would like to have seen in a perfect world.

A resume in juvi, few ghetto tattoos and some facial hair will likely produce the same reaction in said Asian female. The latter appeals to the female’s curiosity and rebellion needs: one which could not be addressed by intellectual superiority and traditional values. Now I ask you all enlightened man out there, why is that? Why a looser has access to the same weapons that highly intellectual, effort driven committed gentlemen has? What is wrong with the world in this picture?

If it’s all the same then we should all go out and do drugs – it is a million times easier compared to NOT doing any!

What is it about human decay that draws females? Take the best fitness for baby production argument. Well constructed scientifically based rational view based upon genetically programmed safeguards against self-termination of the species. As the sperm carrier appears more “manly” the female is chemically compelled to mate. The product then is more likely to survive compared to the product towards which a geek will contribute. It may work for pre-historic times but gee, it has been ten thousand years since then. This programming is not only obsolete, it now has a reverse benefits. The product of the “manly” types is far inferior compared to the baby of those flagged as less-manly according to the pre-historic criteria. The game had changed. It is no longer matter of physiological survival but rather a degree of social integration and intellectual competition. If once a muscle was needed in order to smash a tiger’s head with a rock, today much different qualities guarantee success.

There is good news in all this: the pre-historic female programming will proliferate the growth of ghetto types which makes it easier for those with superior intellect to compete in the world. Imagine if everyone was smart? That would be a disaster. However thanks to females seeking looser-types, producing looser offspring and proliferating the value of mankind’s decay, a small group of intellectual oligarchy can strive safely surrounded by DJs, mall security guards, guests of the penal system, high school drop outs and many more.

Thank you ah mighty for designing the female kind in such mysterious ways. Without this careful crafting the planet would have been a much more difficult place to excel than it is today!

  1. Actually, she was the 100% real deal Japanese. I liked her because she seemed (besides cute) not typical young types that Japan is producing. Ironically, many in Japan, though rigidly conforming to social protocol, are quite individual, which is paradoxical in a way.

  2. I actually would disagree about the paradoxical nature of the argument only in one specific instance: the instance where conforming to social protocol is part of a strategic plan. In that one instance do we not only see forethought on the best use of resources (the return on effort; benefits such as respect, etc resulting from one’s projected conforming attitude) but also a superior intellect as well. Rebellion can only satisfy one objective: self-righteousness. However identifying obedience as weapon? Well that is something else. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.

    Ok that is some good BS from Pulp Fiction but the point is that she was able to apply strategic planning at such an early age. An age where getting knocked up is so much easier!

  3. I don't know about that, people are pretty so mindlessly conform. It's embedded in the language and style of the language. It's really hard to explain. I've lived with Japanese, have many friends, dealt with Japanese for years, and studied books touching anthropology, history, sociology, business, economics of East Asia, as well as lived there. I don't know how to sum that up in one sentence.

    I assume part of it is strategic, but there's a formality, and people pretty much follow the formality. But then there's such an intense pressure to follow the group as well as be so mindful of one's image. In Japanese society, if you do not follow social protocol, you can become alienated quite fast to the point of being driven over the edge. I think this intense pressure to conform, which includes not burdening others with one's problems, lead to many lonely hearts, stress, and isolation. There are many suicides in Tokyo due to this isolation. In Japan, one can have so a lonely desolate life, but also a very peaceful calm life. The one thing nice about Japan is certain peace from the social order, always knowing what to expect.
