How much bandwidth does this place use?! It was nice taking a break from the forum. First things first, I panicked! I got a lot done during the downtime. Glad to see it's back!

I am in the same boat. I identify myself as an INTP, but then again, I think and process information like an INTJ as well. Judging (J) The following statements generally apply to me: I like to have things decided. I appear to be task oriented. I like to make lists of things to do. I like to...

Wouldn't be news if it wasn't! ;)

All that I can think is... Every US president has a mental illness... :rolleyes:

If time is fractal, then each increment of time would have infinite increments of time between them. Then each of those increments would have infinite increments between them. So an infinite amount of time would be perceived as finite if you only were aware of a single linear axis of time...

Think of a movie in 10 frames per second, 30 frames per second, and 100 frames per second. The measure of time doesn't change, but the information throughput does change. Slow motion and fast motion is relative to fluctuations in FPS relative to time. So it's likely consciousness is synced to...

I'll do some reflecting and see.

Hello, and welcome!

Hmmm... Tried to link a video but it's not working. :(

It's just my family that needs money from me. It never really bothered me to give things and money away. It just is a burden sometimes and I always put myself last. I wish that we lived in a classless society. There are people who don't care so much about class. I think INTPs care less...

Why not learn high-level programming, and work on more practical ideas? To me, AI is one of those things that is interesting to think about, but unless I had millions of dollars in funding and lots of help; I wouldn't spend time working on it. I know several people with Aspergers. They...

I was like that when I was in school. Except I didn't even talk to my friends about anything more than superficial. That's some pretty good advice. Detachment comes natural to me. It's really difficult for me to trust people. I have worked on it for a long time. What's the point...

It's helpful in a sense. I have read How To Win Friends and Influence people many times and I think it's a great resource. I don't really have problems communicating with people, and navigating around their insecurities. The problem is, that in-order to do that, I lose myself and my identity.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were saying she hugged you frequently, and without reason.

You're lucky. My mom never hugged me, or paid any attention to me. No point in showing accomplishments to someone who doesn't care. I'm pretty sure that I have an avoidant attachment disorder... Actually, here's a quote from a website... "Avoidants are painfully aware of what...

Haha, not everyone here is here to help. Well, it isn't really a problem. I got a job invite on a website that I use to find work. Just looking at the other applicants, I was probably the only person that they invited. I look at the rate, and then I clicked decline invitation. Then...

You hear them too?

I don't really want to discuss it publicly. I feel like an ass, and I would probably only feel like more of an ass talking about it. Lol!

Welcome aboard! :D

I was realizing that I can't talk to friends and family about my work, because I feel like I would make them feel bad. At the same time, I've rarely been congratulated for any accomplishments by anyone in my family, or friends. I made a mistake today, and I don't think that they would...

OMG! I wrote a well thought out response with a bunch of techniques that I use but I got an expired token error. Oh well! :rolleyes:

I'm a repeat drop-out (elementary, high-school, college). I had to figure out how to make money other ways. University was a great experience, but I gave up ~12 units short with a 3.8 GPA. Basically failed or aced the classes. I got lucky because I always spent time with my interests...

I agree. By the same extreme thought, is there any such thing as true subjectivity?

;) Well, if you have to force yourself or someone to get out, then that's not an extrovert. It should be something that revitalizes you. My brother is a very strong extrovert and he always has plans for what he's going to do... Like going on trips, parties, and hanging out. He is...

So then would you know the difference between wearing this mask, and truly feeling that you're another type? I have been able to act as an extrovert but always felt as if I was wearing a mask. My goal is to feel a gain in energy instead of a drain through extraversion. To me, it seems like...

What drugs specifically, and which preference would it change? So far it sounds like there isn't much faith in the possibility of changing type preference. Here's the beginning strategy that I'm going to practice. 1. I will go out and comment and random things with as many people as...

I was thinking more along the lines of electro-shock therapy... ;)

Embarrassingly, I have had a few times where I lost it on someone in the forum. Somehow, I flew under the banning radar. :D I have an idea. Instead of banning, you have selective areas where the children can play. Then when they mature, they will be allowed to join the adults. The truly...

In other words; can you trick yourself into believing you have a preference for another type? For example. I-E preference and which one drains, or recharges you. Can you put yourself into a mindset that allows you to feel recharged by the opposite of your natural preference? I want to...

The brain processes things logically, rationally, irrationally, and abstractly, which I did take into consideration. I think you're referring to a subconscious communication as more abstract, which I did take into consideration as well. If you read my analysis of the women... I was...

I can definitely relate to the loneliness in-spite of having many friends and acquaintances. Everyone seems to talk a lot, and not say much of anything. Then lack the ability or interest to hear anything that I have to say. However, they will argue and tell me that I'm wrong. I'm not sure if...

I think of it this way. There's real authority, and assigned authority. Police are given authority. Parents are given authority. Do they know better and should you trust them? True authority is earned and I totally respect and value it. So it's not that I don't like authority, I just don't...

Some research on the brain to support my dream analysis. I mention the pituitary gland, which I think exercise has activated, which in turn has activated nearby parts of the brain. Take a look at the following image and article...

I have been trying to analyze my dreams to have a conscious understanding of what my subconscious is communicating to me. Well, last night I had a dream and it went like this... It started out with a few friends who I have never met before, waiting in line to enter an outdoor concert. This...

I generally agree with your assertions. It's mechanics and your body is a function. Plus it's an escape and I pretty much zone out at the gym; listening to music or audio books. I was benching 275lbs at 114lbs. I could squat more than 4 times my body weight. Thinking burns too many calories...

Welcome! It's interesting that you identify as being a Christian as much as being 31y/o Female. :rolleyes: I'd be like 31, Male, Bad-ass! :facepalm:

A project that will never be finished... Haha!

I'm wondering how many responses are from non-INTPs? Or is it safe to say everyone here (with the exception of ENTP Lurker) are all INTPs? I lift weights occasionally. When I get sucked into something interesting, I lose interest in working out.

It doesn't help that it's socially unacceptable to talk about money. If people talked about it more, then everyone would be educated and make better decisions. People need feedback and to see how other people manage money rather than learning by trial and error.

I think the important thing to realize is, that a good accountant works with other businesses. They have experience and knowledge at working your accounts so that you can minimize your tax obligation. Doing it yourself, you will miss out on this benefit. It's what they do, it's what they are...

Oh, an astrophysicist! That's really cool! I started in computer science but I was way ahead of everyone else. Then went to operations management and enjoyed that, it's very useful in the work that I do. I would like to study psychology, and physics but I couldn't find a psychology...

Haha, perfect!

Yes, you are totally right. However, if I don't want anything, then how do I stay motivated to continue making money? I live in an area where the beach, mountains, desert, hiking, and everything is near by. It's all pretty cheap (just gas and food). Plus I know people who plan trips and...

I'm not rich! I just have some extra money coming in. I planned it out so that I can pay off my debt over the next 6 months. I used to give away all of my extra money and belongings. My family is pretty poor and charity starts at home... Also, starting a charity sounds like a lot of...

I do enjoy gardening. I've never thought about collecting exotic plants. This could be interesting. Thanks for the idea! I've tried but couldn't really get into it. I don't have that kind of talent. :( Have one, and getting one as a bonus. Not really exciting. I don't like being...

Not when you run a business...

I had many health problems from second hand smoking several packs a day for 18 years. I voted smoking.
