my hypothesis would be that sexual tastes are mostly formed by availability and habits. I think, for example, it's more likely that catholic priests tend to develop attraction for young boys, as opposed to people with an attraction for young boys tending to becoming catholic priests. I...

mbti allows for the identification, acceptance, creation, and maintenance of an essence. In that regard it's the opposite of most other influences you can find in the world.

@a_ghost_from_your_past not so sure about that. That video isn't even of a real place, it's a VFX rendition of a futuristic city. I think you've listened to too many 70s punk-rock songs; everything doesn't need to have "social criticism"

based on my limited knowledge of who this individual is, I'm assuming he's one of those people whose reason for being famous is nothing – besides the plain fact that people talk about him, like OP does here. Stop giving free publicity to this garbage.

Mar 28, 2019 - It might seem like your brain and heart are working against you today, Aquarius. You might sense that they've teamed up to keep your head in a swirling maelstrom of confusion that you can't seem to pull out of. Look beyond the mundane confusion of this day. Connect with your...

this is the most insane thing I've read on intpf

"I have studied these things - you have not." – Isaac Newton

I assume all the various Christian ideas about sex originated in an early attempt at having a relatively organized society. So one crammed sex into a small box: "an expression of love in a monogamous relationship for the purpose of pro-creation", and called anything besides that "deviance"...

Here's an interesting quote on the Swedish prostitution law: https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=7413&context=jclc I think we can agree it's quite silly to gather aggregated stats across the globe on whether illegalization of...

the nordic model is nonsense. I agree it makes sense on a moral/theoretical level – i.e. that you shouldn't punish people who have been trafficked etc, but in practice this means that the streets of nordic cities are filled with African prostitutes – who have obviously been trafficked – fishing...

we need a quartz pocket pussy ASAP

Christians love humiliation porn – it's very new testament.

this first sentence is very correct, but then again, I'm usually always dealing with confusing intellectual problems. I guess following this advice, I should stop believing stuff I read in mathematical papers. Fuck you, mathematicians, you're all trying to bullshit me!

I think sex is used by humans and animals in more complex ways than just for reproduction. E.g. christianity doesn't like homosexuality because it interprets it as a form of decadence – a deviation from the actual "purpose" of sex. In nature, however, sex plays more roles than just reproduction...

huh? my point is that you're looking at a very particular aspect of porn – the sexual act itself – and doing so in the context of a particular religion. You're not really talking about the morality of porn

If you're trying to merely figure out if the Bible covers the morality of porn, the answer is no (which, if anything, proves that the Bible is not very useful as a basis of morality). That has little to do with the morality of porn as per "morality" in general.

I like some of the Tool stuff, so I also like some of the Perfect Circle stuff. I like the instrumental part of that band more than the vocals though. His voice annoys me at times. 7/10.

what do you mean by "efficient"? To me it looks like she's managed to create a lot of division in the democrat party with that insane "green new deal" and various unrealistic radically socialist plans. Maybe I'm missing something but to me she looks extremely incompetent. she mentions something...

that would be a great thing. If some superhuman deity appeared and granted us one question answered with certainty, in this chaotic world, and as the whole world watches you and hold their breath as you are about to ask the question, you say: ... why is yo mom so fat

I love AOC. She and that dopey Beto guy are gonna get Trump re-elected.

come on... if you have a low intersectionality score, you can "get more involved with Islam or Judaism"? this stuff is clearly a joke

intersectionality is a fascinating thing though, because it sort of explains the curious soup of opinions held by young people nowadays – in particular the combination of SJWness and anti-capitalism. Du Bois, the forefather of intersectionality, was a great admirer of Stalin, Mao Zedong, and...

wait... it's not a parody?

"We suggest every group meeting to begin with everyone sharing their intersectionality scores." these guys are the real deal

@onesteptwostep none of us have irl experience? Speak for yourself, sir. I personally have experimented with whole lotta different approaches over the years, and made the point of putting myself into a wide range of situations to learn from. But I guess in the end, it is true to some extent...

I think it's all about just acting naturally (i.e. in line with your own personality, even if it means being an introvert) and try to be as relaxed as possible. Forget the stuff people told you that having social skills is about talking a lot, talking very loudly, or showing a lot of emotion or...

come at me bro

I hope that was a joke :p besides, pi is an irrational number – it's physically impossible to get its complete decimal expansion as for me, I don't see too much value in having one question answered, but I guess I would use it on some unsolved mathematical/scientific question, e.g. is N=NP...

I've heard there's a growing epidemic in japan of people who live in 2x2 meter apartments and play video games 24/7 and never go outside. They had some specific name – not sure if its weeabo or something else

I agree in that I don't really understand why a bunch of grown-ass men get worked up over some supposed politicization of a superhero movie. It's similar to the battlefield 5 situation where people started going "but it's not realisitic that there's a woman there maaaaaan". Who gives a shit...

Brie Larson looks like the absolutely most average scandinavian chick ever. I got bored with looking at her bland face just from watching the trailer.

[redacted non-PC joke. The joke was funny but too complex and could have been misunderstood and since I'm trying to become a more sensitive human being I decided to delete it]

@Animekitty I sort of get what you're saying, but at the same time, when we're talking about for example computationally undecidable problems, their undecidability is not necessarily defined by the inability of sequential logic to solve them, but rather that it's impossible to use sequential...

@Animekitty I feel it's easy to come up with math problems not solvable on a computer but which are routinely done in nature. Something as simple as computing the trajectory of a planet can never be done exactly on a computer, as you would need infinite-precision number storage. Even something...

what about the general degradation of your DNA via mutation? It seems you would have to keep replacing every single cell in your body and keep a "clean", unmutated copy of your original DNA somewhere but I guess that's for a more ambitious plan of remaining alive indefinitely. I can definitely...

I think it makes sense to bring that analogy to the level of a single brain – i.e. how do you access regions in your own brain and thus gain a more holistic perception of things. On a general reality level? Dunno, I tend to think that modelling reality in terms of computation is misguided...

I have unbelievably bad memory when it comes to stuff that isn't a part of some logical structure. For example people's names. Earlier today, actually, I was going to send an email to a colleague, and was sitting there thinking "what the fuck was this guy's name". I have worked with him for a...

I had a lucid dream once, a few years back. I did the usual stuff - flying, jizzing, etc

self-consistency and homeostasis are vastly stronger instincts than self-improvement. A human would rather retain its flaws and complexes for the sake of maintaining a "self". let go of the self, become the sum of your actions.

sounds like they are talking about something specific yet never say what it actually is

Your score was 63 out of a possible 86 Average time taken per question: 15 seconds Speed: 100% Accuracy: 73% in the first section I didn't know wtf I was supposed to do though, I just answered based on opinion

When i play mariokart i always choose Toad because he seems have the lowest center of gravity and good aerodynamic properties due to the small body

I noticed that when I tried mariokart. It's like playing goddamn roulette. Reminded of poker – you can only play the game statistically, and the difference between the skilled and unskilled can remain invisible for many games.

indeed, all scientific and technological progress has been made by people who thought certain problems were interesting, as opposed to thinking about their utility for humanity. E.g. Von Neumann invented computers to do atomic-bomb calculations, and wanted to make atomic bombs just because it...

some people learn better from pain (perhaps most people?). I think when kids are pampered too much and never experience the pain of failing or fucking up, they don't acquire self-regulatory and self-motivating capabilities. So when they do eventually fuck up (like everyone does at some point)...

For the last 5 million years or so, every single one of your ancestors managed to survive and replicate. That's quite impressive.

did baccheion suggest multivitamins and nootropics as the solution to existential angst? I'm shocked :p anyways.. there's no value in being INTP when you're young. It's a long-term investment. Eventually you'll start seeing how lack of introspection and thoughtfulness eventually catches up to...

a lot of issues that pertain to morality in society as a whole are complex, scientific questions – which is a problem if one is to imagine us approaching perfect morality. That would necessitate everyone becoming highly scientifically literate, or alternatively, turning societies into...
