'[qoute]Why have cars been effectively unchanged for 100 years? Sure they are more efficient, reliable, and comfortable[/quote] Looks like we made progress in only one and a half sentences. Woohoo!

By first acquiring the means to destroy it, whatever means I decide is necessary of course. The rest is top secret. But I suppose you may have a hint. Doomsday device - Futurama Wiki, the...

Math is fun. End of story. Yay! I wrote a math story! On to the next book... I like math... alot. Any math, as long as it's logical and not some stupid invention that someone calls math...

My MSDS for Cutesy says: - Handle with caution. - Highly Radioactive. Radiation poisoning is probable. - Rinse gut with water for at least 3hrs following exposure. - Date: 2045/09/00. For...

I used to think I had short-term memory loss, but that's not really true. It's a matter of what you value. I find it easier to remember names when I actually care about something. I can remember...

Yup. Dang, did I show up too early for the blue moon?

Sheesh, it's late. How many other INTPs are die-hard night owls?

Wow. I was expecting something incredibly stupid (esp given that guy's face) and found that amazingly hilarious. XD

It's hard to say on that evidence alone. A friend of mine is undoubtedly extroverted, enjoys parties, but gets tired and wants private time to read books for their leisure. I'm introverted, clearly,...

Living for God will give you no regrets, but it won't necessarily make you happy all the time (no one said it was easy) (depending on your perspective on what you undergo). Drugs will only make you...

How dare you. I'd argue that a lot of scientific leaps started with that tiny introspection. :wink:[/QUOTE] lol I was referring, of course, to the ideas about my existence being in a dream so...

:/ I'd like to see some humor that didn't involve reposting images, but INTPs seem to be terrible at coming up with jokes on the fly, and turning something like fly into a pun wouldn't get any...

I like your open-minded skepticism (sounds like an oxymoron, lol, but it isn't). First things first: I did think about this topic of what if I was something inside of something else, but I came to...

Morally, it's wrong to commit suicide. It's taking a beautiful God-given life and throwing it away. We may consider committing suicide as an escape from problems and irritation, but there is always a...

unethical according to what standard? Not God's, to say the very least. So you're saying that it would have been better to never have given you existence at all? Well, if you believe so heartily...

lol - Now I want to find this magical dumpster. Is there a recycling bin to go with it?

I think what you mean to say is, All valid knowledge is logical, no? If you really did mean the only valid knowledge comes from logic, then where would the evidence come from? You might have...

No prior industry experience necessary for freelancing. If you start a company and put your effort into it, people will see that you mean serious business and they'll expect you to do what you say...

To quote myself In short: I didn't say you're thought process, per say, was simple. I said you didn't care - you wanted the emotion. And basically, that's what you just said anyways, so thank...

Reeeeally? http://www.hdwallpapers.in/walls/amazing_cute_baby_cute_eyes-normal.jpg

Selfishness, as SweetPickles pointed out, is the lack of consideration for others, but I would say it is more putting one's own needs before others' needs or at their expense. It is not, not...

I thought about it. My desire for human community kicked in for a moment. But that aside, I really have no pressing reason to meet with anyone here. There goes that utilitarian mind of mine again......

It always seemed like most people thought the creepy, weird, unsocial kid was a StarWars fan a computer nerd. Ironically, it seems like most INTPs here won't touch a computer hard-drive without...

Actually, this is contrary to programming in general. The most efficient algorithms tend to be the hardest to read. For example, in some languages, it's faster to bit-shift than multiply by multiples...

O_O Comon, people. No TI-98 joke?

Yup. I do note, however, that the pay is really good for those who are really good. Apple and Google have been fighting for quite some time because they keep stealing/enticing away each others...

Just throwing this out there: I find that people use words with some general connotation. People say ass all the time because Ooo! It's an emotionally negative word!! But... if you said...

It all depends on what you mean by trolling. The general idea is probably wrong (assuming we're all on the same page here *looks both ways*), but around my friends, trolling could mean a variety of...

Not instantly. In more recent years, I've gained more control over whether I want to go back to enjoying it or not. Still working on it, though...

Somehow algorithmically generated music doesn't sound very much like in touch with Fe. Music is just patterns manipulated in the right way. There are times when I feel a groove and yet, I can stop...

Do I know you?

What manuals? XD lol I'm not sure what the question is, but my first thought was, Don't people usually assume 'goes outside' would mean leaving the basket behind and 'take the basket outside'...

I completely understand. I've had online homework in physics, and if I didn't round to the correct significant figures at the right point, my answer would be a few values off. Sometimes the system...

? Explain what about the Crusades? More importantly, you have to actually look for an answer from a credible source. I, for instance, shouldn't go complaining that the theory of evolution...

No. To put it in a really simple analogy: If you have to explain to them A=B=C, they will get as far as A=B and then can't seem to comprehend the rest. The primary problem I find, however, is...

What is true apathy? I suppose if I were to care about the title of this thread, I could have said, To care or not to care, and perhaps it would attract more attention, but why bother? Who needs...

I know exactly how you feel - You want the other person to have someone else to pay attention to when you need to randomly go into your shell. However, I actually do better in 1-on-1 situations,...

Interesting guide, although in some regards I'd say that's the hard way, and it didn't work for me. The fact was, I never could train myself to do something I had no interest in doing. I didn't...

Wait, this is the INTP forum... Did you just use the word FEEL like I think you did?!! 0_0 -- p.s. I think it's great you found someone you enjoy being with. As a piece of passing advice, my #1...

Depends on the man. Every INTJ male I've met seems as solid as a rock, and most of them are going through rather crumby life situations. Also, seeing as you're a girl (or so your ID says <_< >_> ),...

I learned from epistemology that I know nothing... and it all went down hill from there...

Jokes aside, justify still needs to be defined. The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms. - Socrates Basically, you might be surprised at just how different everyone's idea of a...

You forgot to define justify. When you do, you'll realize what a subjective definition it is.

Is that why mice keep coming out of the same hole in my wall?

Emotions are a mental mechanism that amplifies innate human (and many times subconscious) desires. I don't think I can summarize it any better than that, but let me elaborate. Emotions,...

Dead bodies...?

Isn't she supposed to be allergic to that?

Oh gosh, don't even get me started on all of the possible problems. Even if we didn't have teleporters and internet, you know some jerk would still travel hundreds of miles looking for someone to...

That's very true. I, too, find that I very much dislike it when people pretend to be modest. At the same time, it's hard to say how people will take it over forums. This is certainly the most...

I know. I didn't care enough to read the previous posts to see that people had already said it, but I figured it had been said. But since you cared enough to respond, I guess I should care a teeny...'
