'Just today I reconnected online with a tattoo artist I knew a decade ago who threw gasoline on me and then followed that up by trying to throw lit matches in my direction because I happened to be...
100% true for me right now (also why I'm here). I dropped out of my first degree, went back, aced my second, aced a Masters, got a funded PhD, aaaaand... burnt out. Not necessarily because of me, or...
Go to the end of the line with your mental pursuits. That's all I can advise. You will end up poor and fulfilled. Poverty is a virtue which one can teach oneself. ~ Diogenes Also; Plato, on...
Maybe you should google what a synonym is lol. And perhaps if you think someone has to google what an exegesis is, you really should stick to eating and shitting alphabet soup... Anyway I have to go...
Yeah, but then again, you may be better off sticking to eating and shitting alphabet soup, if that's your the extent of your exegesis. :proud:
Growing up in different countries influenced my worldview because it forced me to question all culture. But by far the most influential experience I've had in the last few years was taking acid one...
I didn't come here after a long time to complain about sigs/avatars. I came here after a long time to read interesting posts, but got distracted by the sigs/avatars. You're right that age has nothing...
Just not a child. There's a difference. :wink: It's funny though how some people think he can't be an ENTP because he doesn't like GIFs (which isn't even true - actually I quite like some of the...
Sure, but that's topical and humorous (although a little predictable). You're not crass enough to have it in your sig, or worse, your avatar. Anyway, crack on. I was just raising the point. I'm out,...
Can we start a petition to get rid of gifs in avatars/sigs/etc. on PC? Am I the only one who can't even f*cking read a thread sometimes because there'll be a couple of people (not naming names...) in...
You sound like a deeply unfulfilled person. In getting so caught up in measuring your life in tangible successes (sheesh, this is an internet forum, you don't need a CV with your first post!) and...
Yeah. I went to the edge of where the subconscious realms (the physically constructed marble halls, the vortexes below, the soul-tree at the centre) - brought into existence through a combination of...
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. ~ Ian MacLaren (usually attributed to Plato) Especially to your brother.
Don't hang out with dickheads. Problem solved. It took me many years to figure out this simple point. Enjoy the rest of your life. :)
Oh wow. I suggest that when you've learnt (and fully understood) symbolic logic, you move on to examining the foundations of logic (like I told that other person). Again, Beall and Restall is good...
OK, here you refer quite a lot of disparate points. You're not wrong about many of the individual things you say. On the other hand, your exegesis leaves a lot to be desired. Particularly No; I said...
Like I said; your 'critical reasoning' is just a commitment to diffusing cognitive dissonance in your pre-theoretical beliefs. You hold the same unwarranted assumptions and biases as those you...
Triple post.* Doh!
Double post.*
Your intellectual vs. feeler paradigm lacks insight into how logic and the human psyche work. Your 'intellectual' justification of the position you hold is just a way to coherently express your...
Not sure what business has to do with the most important skills an ENTP can ever learn. Advantageous, sure. It's useful to a point, but I'm pretty sure cut-throat capitalism and ruthless...
What works doesn't dictate what ought to be. You're confusing important with advantageous. Stop being so evil and develop your Fe, which might well be the most important(!) thing you'll ever do.
Just watch any episode of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror (I particularly recommend Fifteen Million Merits S01E02 and The Waldo Moment S02E03). If you weren't scared of technology's pace, you soon...
Actually I was none of these labels of alpha or beta in elementary school. I went to a small school and I was tiny (put up a grade) so I just did things the way I wanted to but was never looked...
Double post, dammit. >_<
Radicalism 83 Socialism 100 Tenderness 71.875 These scores indicate that you are a tender-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with an animal rights activist. It...
Quoted for astonishing truth. One thing though; there is a fourth option. You can internally or externally express it, you can sublimate it. Finally though, you can negate it. This option involves...
Sure. I was taken aback by what I saw (and previously mentioned): nobody espoused virtue ethics, most people supported some kind of utilitarianism, and a lot of the people responding by text rather...
Holy shit. I suppose people here are still young and figuring these things out, but even so, anyone ever think of picking up a book and seriously investigating (their own) ideas on morality? ...
'Burning out', haha. It's better described as settling into a warm bath. You're proud you ran that race when you were younger, but you're glad as hell it's not you still out there. As you relax and...
ple·o·nasm [plee-uh-naz-uhm] noun1.the use of more words than are necessary to express an idea; redundancy. 2.an instance of this, as free gift or true fact. 3.a redundant word or expression.
I don't know if anyone posted something regarding this research yet, but I just saw it and it seemed interesting so I thought I'd post it here. Any thoughts? How an Introvert Can Be Happier: Act...
If you were to type yourself according to the Dungeons and Dragons matrix of alignment, what would you say you are? Lawful (strong belief in rules and law), Neutral, or Chaotic (blatant disregard for...
If you can't figure out what we're good at compared to other people, consider re-evaluating your ENTP status lol. That aside, I've heard Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great typed as ENTPs. Draw...
First things first then. Offering that kind of cooking advice? May as well say sign up to bourgeois attitudes right here. In a time when young people across the globe are being deprived of the...
When writing papers (my usual creative outlet), I go through several processes. The first is to get an outline of what the topic I want to discuss entails. Just try to imagine the broadest scope of...
There's a very simple trick: Ask him what he WOULD say IF you asked him out. This will be an abstraction from reality which will engage his interest on a theoretical level, and he will happily...
I had an idea yesterday which I thought is interesting but I don't have the necessary qualifications to follow through on and I wondered if anyone here does (I know you guys are big thinkers). Here...
Have you seen Primer (a 2004 film)? I think that is a great sci-fi, with a very interesting and plausible concept of time travel. There are two things here: i) I'm actually not particularly...

I totally agree with OP on INTJ. Not only the only *other* type which has a logic that I trust, but actually, I trust them more than most ENTPs. It's fun to be a P, especially an NTP. But it's fun...
It's a big mixture of different things including a variety of British accents and some Scandinavian influences, though I also studied in an American school when I was young.
Can I just say that Argentina and Iceland opened up their markets to deregulated corporatism and both got fucked, while India and China have the fastest growing economies and operate the tightest...
Noisey Why don't you start a poll or survey for each personality type, chart up the results, and then we can all theorize some meaning within those results. Because you'll notice under my...
I read to about page 4 before getting bored of everyone's crap. If you want to fuck her, do, but be honest with her that that's your only intention. If you don't, don't. You're the only one who...
It's a good question. The thing with The Matrix though, is that they're both just hallucinogenic pills. Neo takes one of the pills, trips balls for days, has the best time of his life thinking he can...
Damn our curious eyes...
You guys reckon there is any link between personality type and political leanings? There's an interesting Ted Talk (here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs41JrnGaxc ) about the differences in types...
It's simple, I'm going to understand everything. Ne helps with this by connecting dots between pieces of information, creating a cognitive map of the world from knowledge gleaned through studying...'
