Purgatory You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain. As the sins...

Perhaps you're more of an omnivore than the rest of us. Which means, you're more likely to survive the apocalypse :king-twitter:

Science answers the "what" as well, we just don't have the technology or the sense to physically test space-time and understand what it's made out of. Or if it's even there in the first place, for that matter. We know what matter is made out of, we can test the exact composition of quarks...

While you're spot-on with getting a large percentage of your calories from fat, in the long run large amounts of animal fats from meat, eggs and dairy will raise your cholesterol levels and cause a lot of inflammation from free radical damage. If I were you, I would switch to unprocessed olive...

My point isn't that we are completely unaware of the existence of space-time. It's that we have no idea what space-time is. I have my own theories, as do many others, but no one can say with complete certainty that time is "_____" or space is "_____". It is likely that space is the volume of...

Yeah, that's what happened to Tesla's radiant energy tower, as well as countless other revolutionary inventions. Unfortunately greed makes the world go 'round.

http://www.space.com/17399-gamma-ray-photons-quantum-spacetime.html Another example of how scientists know next to nothing about the nature of space-time.

Sometimes when I read about scientific discoveries there is only one thing that comes to mind: NO DUH! This is definitely one of those times.

This... is... AWESOME :D I typed in "calculus fundamental theorem", and the way it was presented on this site made it really easy to understand. Makes me want to give another try at higher mathematics. Definitely better than Wikipedia.

Yes, that's what the abstract of the research paper indicated.

Speaking of IQ, it would be interesting to know if INTPs tend to have higher intelligent quotients than other types. Perhaps it could even be broader than that, perhaps Thinking types have higher IQs. Jung did imply a relationship between personality and IQ, although he didn't do any testing on...

According to the chart above, it says 140 is near genius, and above 140 is genius. 180 is certainly in genius level, but so is 145.

lol, perhaps sometimes. If their imagined ideas lead them to produce artwork like nothing ever seen before, then yes they could be geniuses. I suppose I left out part of the definition of genius. To be a genius, the ideas and details you can see should be capable of being shared with other...

60%, which is lower than I thought it would be. I was raised in the Japanese tradition, so school was the most important thing in the world, I never did chores. I take care of my elderly parents. I eat a ton of sushi, always with chopsticks. My house is decorated in Japanese fans and other Asian...

A genius is someone who can see things other people can't. This can be a different perspective on something or physical details in the world around them. The more you open your mind to different perspectives, and focus on the things you observe, the more of a genius you are. And yes, I'm a...

That's a good way of putting it. Although, acetylcholine has more diverse applications than dopamine, stimulation of epinephrine release by the adrenal cortex is only one of its functions. I am curious, though, if the majority of introverts are adrenaline junkies. I wonder if a survey has been...

When hanging out with the type of people you're talking about, I don't usually join conversations I'm not interested in. Instead, I provide comic relief; satirical commentary on their conversations, jokes, even let them laugh at my weirdness. This makes them laugh, and I enjoy it as well. I find...

My best friends from high school were definitely introverts, a couple were also N types. Most of the people I knew were extroverts though, only one of these friendships lasted outside of high school. I spent a lot of time alone in the forest around my school during lunch. That's what I...

I don't see how this finding would conflict with the Jungian model. Care to explain this thought? As far as dopamine level variance goes, different people have different brain chemistry, that's one of the things that makes us who we are. Here's an article (hopefully not the same one you've...

I don't really put much stock into nostalgia, or regret for that matter. As much as possible, I live in the present and look to the future. I do have some videos of my Grandmother singing that bring back memories, but that's more of honoring the presence of a loved one than nostalgia I think...

I suppose you could take on a social ritual. But the women who will most likely respond to it are those who you won't be able to relate with, and therefore won't get anything out of your interaction except sex. And as I said before, the prospect of reproducing with these types of women brings...

The awesome thing is, you can download the entire album for free. I paid for it though, because I want this guy to keep producing stuff.

I love this stuff, super creative and super geeky :cool: http://symphonyofscience.com/

I was speaking more of a literal experience than a textbook definition. Eternity, as I have experienced it, is timelessness. Infinity, as I've contemplated it, is endless time.

Personally, I take pride in my lack of emotions. It makes me more dependable and trustworthy when making decisions. It also allows me to be less biased about facts. INTPs do have emotions, but I wouldn't exaggerate the significance of them.

lol, indeed I have a tendency to be unexpected. I think that INTPs tend to seek reality more than other types, and so we don't often ascribe to traditional religions, but seek our own answers. I was just saying to someone yesterday that this forum is like my Athens. If I were a Greek...

I'll be blunt with you and I don't really even know you. I think you are afraid to experiment with letting social rituals go. You're afraid of judgement. For me, I don't care what people think about me, I'm straightforward and speak my mind in all circumstances. I'm not afraid because I realize...

Eternity is really the absence of time. What Addicetedartist seems to be talking about is infinity, the forever forward passing of time. This experience only exists in universes like ours, outside of that time does not exist.

I agree 100%! Why don't more people see marriage like this? It's like everybody is brainwashed with this idea that marriage is something real and essential to the existence of humanity. It's a human ritual, it began when males wanted to own females as their property, why is modern society so...

Etheri, but consider that there may be more to the law of conservation than meets the eye. Just as the atomic theory started out as kind of a novelty, and then developed to be part of the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, the law of conservation could in fact have far reaching implications that...

Without the breaking of symmetry, perhaps nothing could become infinite. All organic forms consist of geometry with infinite boundaries. I read a very interesting book once, that pointed out how life violates the second law of thermodynamics. Instead of an even exchange of entropy, life has...

(and with more than 2000 characters...) I could go on for a long time about the details of this matter, but I will say one more thing that is central to my understanding. "God spoke and there was light." God has taught me that the "speaking" never ceased, it is still a whisper beneath all...

-continued- My spiritual awakening began when I was two years old. My mother is a protestant Christian and so thought it important to introduce me to Jesus. I prayed a prayer asking Him to be in my life in a real way, and in that moment I contacted God for the first time. Jesus (or Yeshua), I...

Hi Sammael, I'd be happy to share my spiritual views with you. I am curious about your name, what does it mean to you? I would like to know, as I have studied a lot about angels. My angel is Uriel, the angel of the Fire. Anyway, the way I see it, the universe is like a candle flame. Have you...

That video had actually crossed my mind... lol I think this one's pretty funny as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLPZmPaHme0

lol, indeed. What heathens we be :twisteddevil:
