'I just want to thank you for the beautiful phrasing of this thread title. Reminds me of chapter titles in old novels.

Congrats to you and to Something Sweet. It's not a Christian cross, it's an xc for cross-country (probably a fairly intp sport as sports go).

The direct-current motor. Also two nights ago this: Japan Charity Bundle - Official TF2 Wiki | Official Team Fortress Wiki

Nah, I'm one of the few non-night-people on this forum as I've mentioned before. Really nighttime is kind of cool, but it looks so empty it makes me sad. It just looks so empty, and I feel kind of...

Oh god so many memories.

I'm trying to read far too many books right now: Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities (mostly to prove to myself that I can read it, as I failed in doing so a while ago, but I love Dickens' humor)...

Generally somewhere between aloof and timid. Usually, I try and get out of the store with the bare minimum I need in the shortest time and with the minimal amount of interaction with clerks possible....

I don't dislike any of my relatives, but my parents' siblings' families lead such different lifestyles that extended-family gatherings are usually awkward for me.

I've played viola for 8 years, did play piano for 7. I'm not very good because I don't practice... story of my life. Also, is anyone else noticing that we seem to be tending to drift towards...

Well... I'm honestly attracted to any sort of knowledge at all. You could dump a pile of fiscal records of a small town where I've never been on my desk and I'd probably at least try to read them,...

I doubt this...

This is referring to a specific episode of Pawn Stars involving a unique Tzarist Russian piece is it not?

I also really work at getting emotionally invested in movies to the point of crying, and actually do the same thing sometimes with music, books, art, games... etc. I just love the feeling of...

imgur: the simple image sharer I make pretty large planned-out things.

Nah I actually voted very close to the majority: academist, liberalist, environmentalist. I just wanted to be dramatic.

This kind of indirect election tramples all over noble ideals of representation and democracy for all of us the INTP people. By not allowing people of all opinion representation in the political...

Wait... the memes make you angry? Why would that be? They're just silly jokes, sometimes pretty stupid, but nothing else. If you're talking about the actual people though, yes I live in a place...

ftfy.

Read the whole damn thing!!! Take that!

I'm actually quite happy with society's standard operating times, and for a reason that I can't easily explain I don't really like the whole concept of 24-hour shopping or really even 7-day/week...

Not at all, just pointing out the effect on onlookers' perceptions of INTPs that will be had by your having posted here. In all honesty, we could probably use more 'anti-INTP's around here, it...

I can say from experience that it's a lot less fun when you never win that match or get that pin.

You know while I appreciate the cute bunny pictures, by posting here as an f-type I fear you're unnaturally shifting the level of happy emotions in this thread far above what it would be predicted to...

Wow uh... you really like bunnies, don't you?

Impossible! I refuse to believe that such a thing exists!

And, because it wouldn't fit in my first post, but I wanted to include some choral music, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Y_ztEW1NE And because Penderecki is just so lovably weird as...

I've been listening to a lot of piano music lately. Really though, I like all kinds of different classical music (and I suppose music in general). Some pieces off the top of my head I've been...

Whan that Aprill with his shoures sote, the droughte of marche hath perced to the rote, and bathed every veyne in swich licour, of which vertu engendred is the flour. Whan Zephirus eek with...

I've never overloaded myself just analyzing the music and musical passages. BUT, when I purposely imagine a frenetic series of images pertaining to both the music and my life personally, like it...

You make some good points. I don't fully agree with what the guy was saying, and I'm wary of didactic works, especially used in education, and so strongly disagree with the speaker on that front....

Did you listen to his entire talk? Because he's really not talking about trying to form a cult-like obsessive following around principles of NOT believing in God, which is what rejectedreality was...

Whatever he is, sounds like a cool guy.

I feel... both really. At different times. As a child I always felt (and usually acted) much older than I was, and many of my friends were older than me.

It depends on what you mean by that. I like, and have always liked, 'fancy' things, nice suits, watches, etc. That said, I wouldn't say I like 'shiny' things because my taste in luxury items is...

I almost never divide my too-long posts here into paragraphs. Sorry! :unsure:

Indeed mickyj did do that quite efficiently. I'd like to add though that another problem with empiricism is that even if your senses were perfect, and you accept everything you're told by your...

Want it, don't have it. Having it wouldn't be much of a problem if I DID know what it really meant (on a personal level I mean).

I figure I can do whatever I like as long as I keep my sacrifice quotas up.

I would ideally run every day, but I'm too lazy. (I will soon though, I'm joining Cross-Country). Other than that... occasional trips to the gym, but not much. Sometimes I eat healthily-I know...

I think I mostly agree with you, but you're doing the same thing you're accusing others of. How can you say drugs are bad? What gives YOU the right to say that? Certainly they can make it much harder...

Oh that's us INTPs, a bunch of little Socrates running around (what is the plural of Socrates btw, Socrati?). I'm truly glad an INFJ came and replied just for the sake of mixing things up a bit. I...

My Ni is stronger than my Ne on all tests. Actually, I think all of my introverted functions are higher on typing tests.

I've been trying to read Ethics: The Definitive Works. At the moment I'm still on Plato and it's succhhh heavy reading. I might just give up. I'm kind of in between fiction works at the moment...

Yeah, I've thought about it a little bit. I would want the same things out of it I think you're talking about, like discipline, comraderie, new experiences, etc. There are certainly benefits. I...

Hmm.. interesting. I also get a voice in my head that tells me it'd be interesting to jump on subway tracks, just for the hell of it. I never do (thankfully) but is it a little odd that I always have...

I used a zucchini that size for a slapstick scene in a skit I did in middle school about anarchy. That's actually perhaps my favorite thing I've ever written.

As INTPs, I think we're often in an interesting predicament where we yearn for change and adventure in our lives (Ne I suppose?) but we're also generally highly reluctant to give into these impulses...'
