We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Because things are far too serious at the moment… Here I am, sitting in Arkham, eating pungent octopus salad left overs and looking at the wife as she gets uglier and more fish-like by the day, pining for her home town of Innsmouth. Meanwhile, across the ocean, all my limey chums seem to be sharing a collective freak-out over dodging an Ed Miliband shaped bullet. It is all depressingly… serious.
So I was going to write something really interesting about Japan, just to change the subject…
… and when I remember what I was going to write, I will let you know.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Its hypnotic! Can’t… take… my… eyes… off… that…
yes, Japan is a land of many wonders. Sorry, er, what was that you were saying?
What is it about Japan that cause it to turn out huggably cute women in such huge numbers? I have rarely seen an ugly Japanese woman.
Tee hee! To quote George Takei: “Oh my!”
Illuminatus, did your wife bring along the Weird Shadow?
Agnieszka is right. I’m a straight woman and it does have a hypnotic quality! I watched it loop for about a minute before blinking and thinking “why am I still watching this?”. And then I pondered it for a few more loops. Weird.
Even their ugly women are weirdly cute.
That is really impressive. I’ve watched her do maybe a hundred rep’s still smiling and not showing the slightest sign of fatigue. Talk about endurance, she should be in the Marines.
Practice makes perfect?
…Oh, and I think quite a few Marines would agree…
Vietnamese too.
I have a rarely used Facebook account & due to an interest in Husky dogs became aware of a young girl who’s name I wouldn’t dream of trying to pronounce:
Fbgiogmih
Go on. You try. Nearly as bad as Finnish, isn’t it? Don’t even know if it’s the given or family name. Which way round do they do them?
She’s in Viet Nam And she does indeed have the Husky dog. Gorgeous dog.
And she’s a friend looks exactly like one of those anime cartoon girls. The enormous oriental eyes, the sketch of a nose, the rose-bud lips. Turns up in a lot of the pics. And she does that Japanese thing at the camera. The kiss pout & the two fingers. Took me several photos to realise, this isn’t photoshopped in. She’s real! Wow!
