He may have tried it once or twice. But weed does not 'enhance' ones ability to reason efficiently. All it does is slow everything down and make you dopey. Weed makes you so dopey.

The universe isn't made of mathematics anymore than it is made of science. The universe is not made of mathematics, but it can be described by it.

Well math isn't about physical reality. From what I can tell, it is a language that describes abstract entities and their relations. And yes, I do believe that abstract entities actually exist. Actually, now that I think about it, a computer is nothing more than the instantiation of abstract...

'But I do know the difference fool. Crawl back under your rock.

I have a masters in mathematics actually. I studies pure mathematics in postgrad. Just because you don't understand doesn't mean I'm stupid. Your comment just makes you look like an idiot. If you're confused just ask instead of being a dick. Anyway yes, math is a language. Well strictly...

Im not trying to separate them. I just can't see how they could ever be the same thing. Yes you are definitely a feeler. I care about authenticity as well though. But with people, not with art.

You can impose meaning onto a piece of art, but is that meaning actually contained within it? Look, the meaning in art is completely subjective, I will give you that. I mean it has to be, not everyone is going to take the same meaning away. But does this really mean that beauty in art is really...

I am talking about the beauty you find in art. That is all. You can say math is beautiful, but that is not what I am asking about. Math can describe music, but it is not what "makes" music beautiful. Math is a descriptive language that we can use to explain reality. It is a set of abstract...

Most, not everyone. And of those people that go there, how many will recognize its aesthetic beauty?

From my experience, most people are completely and utterly blind to beauty. I do not mean the beauty in meaning (I'm talking to you, Feelers), or the beauty in a perfect mathematical theorem (I'm talking to you, Thinkers). I do not mean the beauty in subjective experiences like joy, happiness...

If you listen carefully, hes actually doing philosophy, not science. Anyway, im going to assume that when you say 'analogy', you mean it literally. In other words, you are NOT saying that reality is a computer. Your analogy doesn't work very well. Psychedelics change your perceptions of...

No thats not true at all. It doesn't teach you its cool to talk bs behind each others backs. Little Finger is not a good guy... Niether is Walder Fray or Roose Bolton. I doni't believe you have actually watched the show at all.

Have you forgotten what I just finished saying? I just said that reductionism is silly. Bottom up is a terrible explanation. So of course the only option left doesn't imply that consciousness must be reduced to some kind of deterministic explanation.

No this doesn't mean consciousness is deterministic. Just because consciousness and determinism are compatible, doesn't mean consciousness IS deterministic. As for the rest, I don't believe any of it. But that is irrelevant I suppose.

I don't think you need to go that far though. If you say free will doesn't exist at all, then you must explain why it "appears" that we have it. Further, you must explain away ALL of the evidence that says we have it. You could just say that free will doesn't exist. But this does not explain...

Personally, I think both are absolutely terrible explanations. "Bottom up" tries to reduce all of reality to a basic set of components, and build up from there. These components are usually derived from theories in particle physics. The problem, however, is that these theories in particle...

I think you're taking this way too personally. This discussion just sounds like a bunch of college students having a discussion about philosophy over lunch. This whole area has already been thoroughly explored and I believe the consensus is that "emergent" phenomena actually exist.

I don't understand this digression about determinism? Our best explanations of reality tell us that free will exists, therefore we aught to treat it as such.. Punishment is not rehabilitation, so no. Unless your goal is to seek revenge -- which is neither productive nor helpful for anything...

Danny decides to burn Kings Landing to the ground. It’s irritating and wholly unsatisfying, but not because it doesn't make any sense at all. It is unsatisfying because it doesn't show us anything we do not already know. The joy of good TV like Game of Thrones is not that it is unpredictable...

First, I just have to say you aren't doing INTP's any favor with you writing. I had to stop more than once to figure out what you're talking about. Anyway, a physicst David Deutsch has explained why the "simulation in a cosmic computer" explanation doesn't make any sense in his book The Fabric...

Karl Popper is better! He addressed Kant in Conjectures and Refutations. Popper argued with more clarity and precision than anyone before him.

No. Its because change implies learning, and learning is difficult. Since humans generally prefer life to be easy (since we are constrained by limited cognitive resources), it follows that we would feel naturally repelled by learning/change.

Such word Salad. Im going to take "reality is an illusion" to mean "Reality and our perceptions of reality are incompatible". If our perception of reality is incompatible with reality itself, how is it we still alive? If our perceptions are incompatible with reality, then it follows that our...

So your a douchbag? Glad you cleared that up for me. @nanook, are you trying to tell me that my Fe is actually Ne?

INTJ 87% ENTJ 56% Can anyone tell me what this means?

I also have both. Fi is more developed than Fe though.

Why? It reflects negatively on your character.

Wow, no need to be nasty ahole about it. Also, i'm not confused.

I don't believe that. Simply because it is exactly in character for an INTP to ask such nebulous questions.

Nah, introverted thinking is definitely my strong point. But Ne and Fe are tied. Anyway, I was alluding to the inadequacies of the MBTI system.

I have an INTJ friend. Nothing amazing about him. Sometimes he can be little slow, or a little inarticulate.

If this is really what you meant, then you need to work on your wording because saying "women are mens sidekick" does sound incurious and sexist.

Anyone here have a well developed Fe but totally non existent Si? What do you think the cause of such a situation might be?

Its possible, but not very likely. Just to clarify; I have four female siblings and I get along with all of them. Anyway, it IS incredible the amount of total ignorance in this one forum. Maybe these guys are using their Ti too much? @Nanoonk: You can't be serious. Exactly how much experience...

Average.... Why?

First, yes people DO give these sorts of things a second thought. I've already followed a similar line of reasoning before, and it lead nowhere. Why it lead nowhere is almost completely obvious to me now: Ti without Ne can offer no real insight into anything. So why no clarification? The way...

Ill agree with AnimeKitty, you are probably not an INTP. As for these ideas, the rest of us have them as well; but we're good a translating them into english.

ESFJ? Your friends sounds emotionally stunted, incurious about human nature and narcissistic. There is only one thing you can do with individuals as septic as him; get away!

OrLevitate, what a totally useless question. What on earth do we have to gain from indulging in this sort of mental masturbation?

They are ok; and I love being scared.

I don't do riddles? :confused:

Yeah I figured that. I'm just a little neurotic sometimes.

Im not sure what you are trying to say. But my Fe is definitely about as strong as my Ne.

Wooow, hold your horses there Pizzabeak. Women are not "emotion bags". And they are not "sidekicks". Whats more, men can be and are just as irrational and sentimental as women.

A womans perspective might be helpful?

Hahahahaha. Oh wow, what a hoot!

Talk about Final Fantasy?

Totally disagree. Try listening to other peoples ideas; you might find they are quite often not as imaginative as yours.

What terrible definitions. :/

Dude, thats totally normal. How do you not know that?
