    undestanding ones place in life (jobs, career, etc.)

    I am 35 still don't know what exactly I might be doing in near future, but I am also of opinion that careers that box you in don't necessarily have to be only viable option in life. Do you enjoy the fact you are in a career? I basically narrowed it down to having freedom, independence to make...

    Life has no purpose - prove me wrong.

    Seizures (Causes)

    I am currently trying to figure that for myself. I am stable on the outside, but I still struggle psychologically. Even though there is nothing wrong with me, my sense of stability is sort of unstable. Today I feel fine, days before I felt a little on edge. What do you think you need for...

    Life has no purpose - prove me wrong.

    That is what Alfred Adler one of Jung contemporaries coined the term life style. Life style is sum total of skill to attain happy life. He was also ranging socialist. He was the mid step between Freud the sex duded, and Jung the Esoteric dude.

    Life has no purpose - prove me wrong.

    It depends. I am not sure how other people see heaven. But to me it comes down to the same ideas people have about going to a nice vacation. We all dream of better place, so why not after life as well? Well, unless you are super happy now that is. Location, location, location.

    Morality is group victory.

    TSAAFW

    You are right. Morality is agreeing on rules of the game that were given to us, by supreme being, and are kept in check by not so supreme beings priests, who know alot about the supreme being.

    TSAAFW

    I know its hard to prove something like this, but honestly we are humans, which means we engage in multiple complex behaviors in large groups. Most of morals just amounts to agreeing on general rules of games, so everyone can be happy and get by. No different from say playing poker or monopoly...

    TSAAFW

    Our morality is our biology. Every cohesive group of more developed mammals needs code of conduct, to function effectively. We humans use language to cooperate on very high level. That leads to morals. Without morals there is no humans, and therefore no human walked this Earth without morals. We...

    Focusing on what really matters

    No one in real life knows your IQ and wants to know it. Which is good. If you are smart, most people will underestimate you and think you are dumb. If you are dumb, most people will say Oh yeah dummy does stupid things. He could not help it. Either way being considered dumb has so many...

    Explaining one's views is hard sometimes

    Honestly here you can say what you think, but this is INTP forum, and Ill be damned if anyone agrees with anyone. I am just saying people on forums rarely agree, minus topics that are less loaded. I suggest you do something like avoid topics that are too volatile. Religion, Politics, and...

    Focusing on what really matters

    wisdom is experience acquired overtime compressed. Today we practice one part of the brain and only one part of brain. Children in schools have virtually no real experience until age 25 and even beyond. Clever people are plenty and everyone is clever. Wisdom comes from the word wis...

    Explaining one's views is hard sometimes

    That is one hell of a sales pitch. He came on strong! That said I think he got something right, but I would go down the road and say everything is about communication. In my understanding communication happens when a message is send, received, processed, and response is send back. Essentially...

    MoraI Foundations Theory test, by Johnathan Haidt

    We can certainly make anything into dichotomy. There is nothing wrong with that. But my beef here is that most situation in life will not be presented as clear cut dichotomy dilemmas. They will be presented as problems with random assortment of complex micro problems with tedious and uncertain...

    Explaining one's views is hard sometimes

    There are 3 types of talking, ergo one is aggressive two is defensive three is sharing I prefer sharing, but invariably people fall into aggressive or defensive stance. There are many reasons for why this is, one is conflict of interest. Ergo people have a reason to say things its either to...

    MoraI Foundations Theory test, by Johnathan Haidt

    I think the problem with 14 is that it sets up false dichotomy. You cannot in real life decide whether a child just one or the other. You can bring up children in a way that makes them cold hearted, especially with wrong parenting. The antidote to that is simply be loving and accepting of them...

    Any good philosophical movies?

    I watched cube one @LOGICZOMBIE and it seems that movie was used as inspiration for new version of Cube. Interesting to watch. Kind of reminds of my life in sense we experience life in such weird way sitting in rooms and such.

    ABS abdominal muscles

    I have a theory about how to shape abs, but its mostly a theory, that said, I don't know how much of exercise and how much of natural innate built defines abs. But judging form fitness picks I do believe that the way we exercise does shape our muscle. I think all the picks above are fit...

    ABS abdominal muscles

    Thanks for feedback, definitely appreciate it from you. Chest is not a problem for me. Not sure its a Taurus thing, or just coincidence. Generally I consider myself of mesomorph built.

    Revisiting My Type (Since Being Here).

    Only you can be judge of that, but for what its worth sometimes maturing or becoming better version of self is going kind of backwards. I think the key question is better for whom. Overall Id say they factor for INTx is to know more about emotions, as I think both INTJ and INTP struggle with...

    Revisiting My Type (Since Being Here).

    Here is for example QuickTwist quote about religion note he is long gone and probably might not believe this stuff anymore. Who knows, but writing style is connected to thinking.... I think Introversion is clear for OldThings, N as close to S T over F J over P but close to each other. So I...

    Revisiting My Type (Since Being Here).

    I would argue Fi, but Fe is still possible for @Old Things I think old things reasons logically over feelings, not that feelings don't inform logic, but logic first feelings second would indicate Ti Fe or Te Fi. F either extrovert or introvert, but Id argue I have seen INFPs much like @Old...

    I am waiting for a society where women hit on unsuspecting men. You know a 10 hitting on a barely 5. But I am very prudish, I don't just give it to any women, she needs to treat me right.

    Revisiting My Type (Since Being Here).

    You strike me as Fi person, that is you have strong introvert feeling cognitive function this is directly obvious in language you use. Its clear that mostly you stick to your own understanding preferably over someone else. INTPs tend to be more agreeable with language. That said it depends...

    I think we should let women freely decide to wear these things and not impose on them strict rules. It is in best interest of feminist to show men that they can free their nipple against the mens oppression.

    The problem with these questions is they are of particular mindset and they are kind of misleading almost manipulative. Hardly objective questions. Id say I am anarchist in sense, but I still believe in governmental structures. I don't believe in politics. Which might make people scratch their...

    Descartes was almost right.

    I know that one and yes that is part of the problem. We literally have no way of circumventing the reality of not knowing. Secondly truth be told there are so many more unknowns to us that as humans we rarely know even a fraction of truth of everyday life, let alone things on more grand...

    Power and will

    Self control is ultimate power, it can open a human being to options that humans with little control cannot have. The power of choice, and power of decision, power of options, power that overcomes limitations. A person with little control and I would argue I am limited in this sense, can do...

    Honestly I am just a coward I don't want others to make bad decisions because of me.

    Your relationship with achievement

    First of all I can achieve things in life, but I get no reward that I can think of that would make me keep going and achieving. For instance in school Id get an A and not keep going. I felt nothing, apart form little dopaminum rush. I would literally sabotage my success. I always had fantasy...

    Any female INTPs here?

    Nah, but there are ENTJs who see themselves as INTPs. Its rare, but having that mindset is something worth exploring. I aint the healthiest INTP, so take my shit with rock of salt. In my work mode I can certainly seem as a ENTJ. ITs like my shadow.
