'I've posted a new track here: CBC Radio 3 It's called Windowshoppers' Union.
You're not a geek unless you understand that Babylon 5 > Deep Space Nine, and you can explain why.
It's the or something. I'm starting to doubt YOUR understanding of the idea.
You've leapt to several silly conclusions, Sellihca. I am NOT comforted by the Neil DeGrasse Tyson quote. It's how I live when I'm disregarding ontological and moral nihilism. This happens less...
Nihilism is not the cynical rejection of belief. It's the positive courage to live without it. - Sebastian Horsley Life is just the misery left between abortion and euthanasia. - Sebastian...
I listen exclusively to drone metal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3zTYCkCezU

We're just trying to get the music out there. I'd say we're alternative rock... but slowly we've been moving more and more into the pop realm. Lately I've been influenced by a lot of Hall & Oates,...
Our band has been practicing for several centuries now. Very recently, we've been attempting to record (without a budget, of course) an album-length collection of our original pieces. We're...

I answered 4, but many of my colleagues would answer 2 or 3. Because of this, I am a huge proponent of academic reform. If I were given the opportunity, I would re-design the entire education...
I've never acted in any of these ways. Most likely because unimportant, uncontrolled and to excess aren't real qualities.
Not immoral. Amoral.
No art or philosophy? I don't think so.
A brothel.
I thanked this post because it made me laugh.
I'm surprised that you listed cooking as a thing you hate doing. Granted, I only enjoy cooking if I'm in a state-of-the-art kitchen, but when I'm in control of the appliances and ingredients, and...
That isn't an issue at all. It's a simple way to make sure that he could respond to each thing you said individually. Have you considered the possibility that maybe you're not an ENTP?
I write TV shows and movies. I record music. I collect vinyl. Lately I've been designing a custom suit, and I intend to make it.
You might get that feeling if you moved to Victoria or the Gulf Islands between BC and Washington. Victoria has an overwhelmingly ENFP attitude. I've always thought of Vancouver as hyper-J, but...
Vinyl is incredible. I just pre-ordered the of Montreal album 'False Priest' on vinyl. The whole vinyl experience is great.
My last pair of black dress shoes only lasted 6 months. Eh, it's my fault for wearing them almost exclusively though. When it gets to the point where I avoid puddles because of shoe damage, it's...
Failure is below me.
Asking him these questions really shouldn't alienate him at all, so don't be afraid to. Knowing that you know could be a great relief for him. And as the two before me have mentioned, don't...
An interesting question! Our need as a species for self-improvement and intellectual understanding is instinctual, and rewarded by emotions like happy, as you say. Though I might be wrong,...
1. Why I think emotions are vestigial I'll rephrase my position. I think emotions are soon to become vestigial. I think that right now it can be argued that empathy, sympathy and the ability to...
I don't think it's wrong... I really have no code. Also, I can appreciate art. I am a musician, after all. I don't think you should equate useless with hurts the human race. I will...
The definition of 'vestigial' I was using was describing homologous characters of organisms that have seemingly lost all or most of their original function in a species through evolution. These may...
Ah yes, I see him as an ISTJ as well. Certainly a more troubled one.
I see ESTJs as generally less stable than ISTJs.
I feel like I'm living behind a glass wall, too. It could be the vodka, though.
Jonny may be an INTJ, but he certainly has the playfulness and feeling nature of an INFP. No, we DON'T have more literal interpretations of laungage than that. The NT's appreciation of...
First of all, I apologize for jumping to conclusions about your views. That was rash of me in hindsight. Answering the question in the last paragraph: what I mean to say is that it is very...
People have often told me to let things go or to grow up but I have never considered it to be good advice. They are assuming that my value system is the same as theirs. They are also assuming...
I probably misread you. Perhaps we should start over with the discussion. I'll present my case as clearly as I can: I do not believe in any sort of physical morality. It is an unlikely...
I don't consider it an argument unless my opponent is equally intelligent. In most cases, I consider it teaching. If I see something wrong, I want to correct it.
I think that if I had to put trust in anyone to lead me (on a Battlestar) it would be an ISTJ. I certainly wouldn't put the trust in myself.
What standard of morality are we talking about? Any of them. It doesn't matter. They're all silly. The logical fallacies you're committing: Appeal to belief: Fallacy: Appeal to Belief Appeal...
Watch the first 22 seconds of this video. Hell, watch the whole thing: YouTube - ‪Paranoid Android by Radiohead (Glastonbury 2003)‬‎ Anyways, those facial expressions...
I think INFJs are pretty amazing. Every conversation I have with one brightens my day. When they show interest in something, it's a very genuine thing.
I'm saying I'm equally as agnostic towards morality as I am towards the tooth fairy, the Egyptian Gods, the human soul, and the Christian God. So, yes, it is silly to believe in morality.
You claim not only the existence of morality, but that you understand it well enough to make statements as brash as this! The impudence of someone to claim that people need spiritual guidance......
Oh hey there, Trelliot. I hope you enjoy your stay, and help to make my time on the forums a more memorable one. Also, you're lumpy and you smell bad.
Colloquially, maybe. But I never THOUGHT you thought they were bad. Merely overrated, like you said. Sorry for my own lack of clarity. I'm having a hard time responding to this. It's...
This is a true statement. Another true statement? I never suggested you did. Though I can't claim to understand the subtle difference between Very good and Not that great, I'll assume...
'Overrated' is a silly word, and certainly does not apply to Radiohead. What Thom Yorke and the rest of the band excel at is creating moods and sustaining them. 'OK Computer' is a great example of...
Meaningless smalltalk. Some people tend to think that a car ride or evening spent in silence is wasted. This is not so. Though I'd prefer a real intellectual discussion over silence, my own...
Because ENTPs have already experienced it. Listening to that album is like peering into the ENTP mind.'
