I think the case with abortion is a bit different than other universalized freedoms/rights in the US. Most freedoms and rights were something that were a part or social conscious so they were codified in the amendments and the bill of rights. But the case with abortion is that it isn't viewed as...

https://www.intpforum.com/threads/what-is-a-story.27671/ I went with a more abstract angle, but yeah, it's an interesting mental exercise to dissect what 'story' is.

To be honest I haven't interacted with a transgender myself so I can't definitively say anything about them. But from the perception I get from the media and documentaries and so forth, it seems like most transgenders have some sort of deeper psychological issue they need to sort out. Some...

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Most red state senators have been serving for more than 30 years. Also senators don't decide state laws, state legislatures do. Senators go to D.C. and make national policy not state laws.

It's not up to us or anyone outside the state to make that determination though. People who live in the state make the laws of that state, not people who live outside it. If they want to live backwards or whatever, it's up to them.

But that would happen regardless of whether Roe vs Wade is in place. I think this article explains the aftermath, if were to happen, well: What happens if Roe v Wade is overturned - The Washington Post Five states would outright ban abortion regardless of term or week, and then most of the...

Overturning Roe vs Wade simply allows the states to decide. Most states allow abortion anyway within their own state laws. I'm pro-choice but I really don't see why people should dabble in the affairs of red states when they pretty much account for like 15% of the US total population. I think...

It does good on what its genre is: that it's a drama. It uses dramatic scenery and dramatic situations, with dramatic acting and dramatic themes.

I didn't watch it and I'm Korean. Haha.. I generally am against the high emotional stakes Korean dramas tend to employ. I enjoy more subtle tones of humanity, moreso if they're against a background of history, of things that actually happened in real life. A lot of the brutality that's within...

Yeah.. we had a lot more hardcore thinkers back then.

@BurnedOut I think threads like this are pretty informative on what the discussions were back then: What is your theory of type anyway? | INTP Forum And this one's a classic, at least for me: Why MBTI is a fraud | INTP Forum As for the literature, Jung's book was called Psychological Types...

I would say that that's a problem with how people interpret the results. There's a lot of mbti related literature out there that has been added to the indicator that creates a culture and lore of the 16 types. That isn't the fault of mbti. Also from reading your latter posts it seems you...

I don't understand what you're trying to say, but if I were to clarify what I've said, MBTI is more of a sketch of the various subjective cognitive perspectives an individual might experience. It illustrates very roughly the contours of experience. I would make an analogy to Kant's...

I think most people who've engaged with the MBTI for a very long time arrive at the conclusion that MBTI is descriptive, not prescriptive. That's what I try to emphasize anyway. We've had plenty of discussions on this forum that the cognitive functions are not in anyway empirical or rigorous...

In terms of intelligence I was put in a grade one year lower than me to compensate for the fact that I didn't speak English, so cognitively I had an easier time at school. I think the whole grades thing reinforced my confidence in my intelligence, and I didn't have academic problems until high...

Headlines like this make me think he's still in high school: Elon Musk says his offer to buy Twitter is about 'the future of civilization,' not making money - CNN

I have a feeling Elon is going to self-implode in the years to come. Unless he sobers up and takes a more assertive disposition he's going to really crash his companies and his wealth. The recent lawsuits make it seem like his management style is not meant for a longterm corporate culture but...

I also want to be a retired pokemon trainer living by the sea.

Pretty much sums it up I think.

Geez Haldo way to put me on the spot :P I don't watch shows unless it's trending at the moment and I don't want to miss out. I think I marathon shows more rather than just casually watch them. Either way I don't use any streaming services at all. I torrent things when I want to watch...

Chris Rock knows he fucked up too though. Maybe he's done lesser, but on paper he's the one who initiated the scruffle. Not all jokes are without consequence. Now he has to live with the association of Smith slapping him forever. Not sure if the joke was worth that. He can't articulate this for...

I hadn't owned a tv since middle school.

I see Ricky Gervais in the same vein though. He's just the toxicity bottled up in one singular person. The Will Smith thing is the derivatives that flowed from the act. The mature thing would be to have self-awareness but to have a light hearted humanity of it. There's plenty of wrong in the...

Get a girl, it usually helps take the edge off.

I feel like the entire internet is trying to dissect this from every angle possible, and it's crazy. The only losers in this seem to be the people who have to put up with all this chirruping about who's in the wrong more and how this informs this and damages that.. And so on. /vent

I'm using the term 'sacredness' in its more secular nature rather than from the Christian usage. There could be an overlap, but I generally don't mean 'set apart', i.e. the Christian usage. I think CS Lewis touches on this well: he rounds up the traditions within many cultures to point to a...

I think there are the three notions which a thinking person should understand and develop if they wish to participate fruitfully in the life of society. Sacredness: there are things within human tradition that give pause and call for our introspection and reverence. Things like an orderly...

Right, you've described the general progression of economic modernizing. The problem is that we don't have a clear picture of how the economic prospect of what the future will be. The phase of development has past- we're going into economic territory where sustainability is more of the priority...

@Riiscup I'm not a parent, but after seeing plenty of family issues within my own family and within friends, I thought there could be a radical change in how one sees parenting, especially with how life in general has become more complex and that society in general has reached its developmental...

1) Of course, just because they were influnced to do something doesn't mean it voids their personal responsibility. Just because Hitler made you kill lots of people doesn't mean you can get away with it. Hitler will be prosecuted and so will you. 2) Of course not? If it's irrelevant then it's...

I think we can generally agree that everyone, and I mean this literally, everyone should be given a free life where they can choose what they want to do in life and that this should go unimpeded. If this maxim is true, it should be also true that parents should focus on raising a child who is...

The private isn't as efficent as you think they are. The term bullshit jobs come from private companies who try to meet job quotas so that they would be able to recieve their subsidy checks from the government, not necessarily from the public sector. A company could recieve more funding if they...

Generally I think the current market model is unsustainable, and the low birthrate I think is a natural cure for this systematic excess. A lot of economists are crying loud about the low birthrate, especially in places like Korea, Japan and China, but I think in the overall scheme of things...

Tik Tok and social media influencers are hustle jobs and aren't functions which provide value to the economy. They provide advertising space for companies that do provide value, by creating a following in which they can advertise their services or goods. Most internet content creators are an...

I'm of the opinion that there aren't enough jobs that actually mean something and provide value to the economy. A lot of the jobs out there, especially in the service sector, are jobs that simply push money around and showcase as if that counts as creating value. I think it's generally a problem...

Coming from a philosophical background I just see Camusian effort, just in technological and capitalistic lens. The blood just seems to symbolize the cannibalism we have in capitalism and the Camusian effort of trying to horde it, by the means of tech. If you want to give a meaning to the black...

Yeah the whole thing is good or bad depending on how you view the realm of social media. If you're a business owner you'll be greatful that your ads work and that they penetrate the market well. If you're the everyday Joe you'd probably be fed up with the commercialization. To me the whole thing...

Well that's contemporary culture. If you look at artistic works or literature from past ages, you'd find that a lot of our emotional ills have been journeyed through already. If you're familiar with alienation, maybe reading Charles Baudelaire would be fun. If you're into philosophy, works by...

I heard from an acquatince that there would be currency circulating in it and that you would earn currency through doing tasks within the metaverse? And yeah it seems like what you are describing is going to be a literal pandoras box. Anyway the whole things reminds me of Diablo 2, how people...

It's just basically a real life MMORPG?

My god, it's like I'm seeing the beginnings of a life of preisthood when I read stuff like this. To me humans are super fickle. I know because I see it in myself all the time. The more I grow old, the more I realize how real the events and emotions people live through, and that they are not...

A meaningful life is to care for people and live life with others. Family, friends and food. There really is no purpose in life; the age where grand narratives ruled without contention is far gone. There's a lot more self discovery and autonomy that's been allotted because of the march of...

Well to be honest it just sounds like the person who thinks their mind is being read is a bit paranoid.

Here you go.

I'm looking for a video where this guy talks about political philosophy or something while cooking some sausages, or it was pasta, I can't remember. His entire house is a mess and was pretty awfully dirty. He was doing everything with one hand because he was filming with the other. It seems...

There's a greek guy who figured this out a long time ago. His method actually is named after him and is famous in philosophy.

Yes, I do think the payoff or difference is that you sacrifice a lot of freedom to maintain that kind of society. I do think it's what differentiates Hinduism and the general culture of individuality of western civilization. I don't necessarily think it's positively admirable, but I do get a...

There is no 'dominant class'. Also another pointer to add is that, the cultural notion of the caste system we have today are from the British, who created a makeshift system copying the old social order which was in the region, and to recreate it to suit their colonial needs. (Divide and...
