there are many binaural/hemi sync tracks designed for concentration. simple white noise might be best for blocking out noise of coworkers or similar. listening to binaurals all day long would give you a headache.

money would disappear and they would wonder who did it. urine would accumulate in the washbasin. pieces of fingernail would be discovered on the floor. bogeys would accumulate under chairs and tables. i'm designed to live off the fruit from the tree that is grown by sensors. :twisteddevil: I...

very poor memory of childhood, generally no vivid memories, ie i can hardly re-experience a process in multidimensional manner (emotion + experience). i have impressionistic snapshots, glimpses, with very limited understanding of their date or context. i also grew up with poor nutrition. now...

>May I ask what made you conclude that liberation is my why? 1) It's the ultimate why, that works when all other whys fail to convince you of their worthiness. 2) I'm not too familiar with withehead, but his thinking is taking reality apart to the point where it resembles mysticism. and i just...

try to find the why and the how that resonates with you. don't ask for "what" until you know why and how, don't ask others "what". any "what" that does not resonate with your criteria for "how" will make you suffer, that's what you described with your parents, i remember that, from asking my...

the movie revolutionary road is very much about breaking up with the rational stage. and coming into contact with whatever was repressed during the rational stage. the movie space station 76 is also a nice character study. marisa coughlan plays a borderliner, she is between the impulsive and...

today i like the replicants of blade runner the most. in my school time i used to have anger repressing idols like mr spock. i would also like a monk like sean connery in the name of the rose. but after my break tetsuo became my anti-hero. the rational stage of cognition is the peak of...

You become a robot without noticing, because you think it's the human in you, who puts all that life-hacking technology to use. The moment you admit that you have gone too far and that your spirit became too obsessed by the parameters of your artificial creation is the moment you transcend the...

This culture is still raising everyone to become a robot. Many can wear their cyborg enhancement with apparent grace and stay half way human in their spare time, or any context that allows for it, but we had too much of a need for conceptual coherence, too much sensitivity to tolerate the...

you get to do an internet quiz that examines which parts of your brain have the most power over you. how do you react? i won't take the test, nobody is allowed to judge me. i do the test and pay close attention to the reasoning offered for every question. i don't care about the result. i...

let's consider a healthy dose of racism? i mean, many people believe that this civilisation was created by martians. who came to earth in the times of atlantis and procreated with the other people, who came from venus. or is it about chimps and bonobos? some mythology to symbolize the struggle...

specific & and globally most of my specific interests are elements of my worldview and global in that sense. they are of general relevance. very few thoughts are related to strategies of what i should do and how and i'm not sure if they ever amount to theory building. 60% general...

the amount of the functions S, N, T + F is 25% + 25% + 25% + 25%, the functions create our reality, without them there would be a hole in it. and typology has nothing to do with measuring the amount of the function, also it has very little to do with measuring the conscious (reflectively noted...

thinking and feeling are exactly the same in so far as they are mostly defined by past conditioning, however extroversion deals superficially with the whole complexity of the present moment/situation and introversion is preoccupied with the general implications (future/past) that a specific...

you are in fat burning mode, starvation mode, ketosis, perhaps even utilizing neoglucogenesis, that is when stress hormons convert fat into energy that is usable for body and brain while slowly burning out your adrenal glands. without support from stimulants like coffee, it's not always so easy...

what i have learned about lucid dreaming is that you can't really learn it, rather you learn how to use the potential that you already have, if you have some. the potential of lucidity is developing whether you use it or not. if you have potential for lucidity, but make no use of it, you have...

dreams are the fabrication of the same mind, that is fabricating your waking state interpretation of sensory data. your dream-character is as fabricated as your waking self. the sounds in your dream are made out of brain-waves, just like the sounds you hear at daytime. (of course brain-waves...

if you record your dreams onto a voice recorder, the record will be lost, after you wake up. hate that one :D

grumpy easter bunny. press a weird key combo by accident and i will throw foul eggs at you. otherwise i'm not into video games.

try taking drugs in your dream. works for me. (i would just ask myself in a lucid dream: what would happen now, if i had taken a particular entheogen and it would be 'coming on right now') there are also classic paths to altered states of mind. a dream is not a dream. there are dream levels...

i like the shallow lucid dreams in the morning. i can hallucinate music and zoom through hallucinated landcapes like a camera. no deep psychic content will appear. it's like entertained boredom. i believe the frequency of this brainstate is close to 8hz, judging by the rhythm of the sounds...

>it would be odd if that certain something was the only thing to exist It's an argument against solipsism but not against all of us being jokes. The joke is that you always try to pull something off, but you are not in control since you don't know what you are doing and you are being done...

the inventor of this typology is carl jung, you may want to check out how he thought about all of this. http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Jung/types.htm introversion is something that serves the intrinsic intentions and general needs of the subject, extroversion is something that serves our need to...

i should add that the enneagram four tries to use intellectual endeavours to be interesting, to become a magnet to others. because they feel lacking if they can't get a confirmation of their value from of others. they may go as far as trying to prove superiority, just so that they are perceived...

for me it's also been a difficulty to sort out my traits against the aspects of my persona that are serving as empathic resonance to my parents. it appears that my mother is ennegram 9 and my father is cp6 or 8. both exist inside of me, i have become obedient to those principles. and if i seek...

you have to understand how I and E modulate T and F or you will never know. i can still get confused between my understanding of I and E. and since T and F are merged, i can get confused about which one is the one that maintains the E attitude and which one maintains the I attitude...

being intp does not imply digging math, but being enneagram five implies trying to escape from exposure to the boundless quality of life by becoming super intellectualized. interest in sciency subjects feel inauthentic, because the driving motivation of the interest is not to actually know...

dawn of the plantet of the apes. apes are great actors ♥ *nobody knows what it's like, to be the sad ape, named blue eyes.* lucy. good experience and inspiring thoughts, that's a plus. the homesman. excellent character study. the grand budapest hotel. entertaining, lighthearted. edge of...

i can roughly understand and agree with your first 3 long paragraphs. without wanting to discuss details. i would say that trains are tough to Si. toughness is a static property. toughness could be desirably or scary. evil seems to imply intent and intent is dynamic, which implies intuition. if...

Intuition is comprehension of process. that at least seems to be the most foundational feature of it, from my perspective. how that comprehension works in animating the spirits is a different story. when a car hits a person and the person flies away, that does not make car and person one and...

aesthetic is a subjective sense of harmony, rooted in perception. it is not limited to typological sensation, it includes intuition, as i understand it. (i understand it as comprehension of process, vs. comprehension of objects) morals transcends and unites thinking and feeling like aesthetic...

right, and all other types don't. because we have to project the principle of our ego or ethnocentricity, which are two stages of development, on SOME function. remember, stages are transcended and included, so you remain ego and ethnocentric, in a less exclusive manner.

i've never or rarely ever felt that people who say something about INFP may be speaking of people who are the same type as i am. to answer cherry cola's question about whether i am INFP, i don't know and don't feel like letting anyone know, because to tell your type is to associate yourself into...

my model of ethics is evolutionary, not relativistic. the concept of relativism implies that you can make up stupid shit with your superficial mind and believe in it. the concept of evolution is that something real, that is bigger than you, let's call it nature, is causing you to evolve...

>Ni seems like lazy self-infatuated Ti fixed for you: -Ni seems like lazy self-infatuated Ne -INTP seem like lazy self-infatuated ESFJ -introverts .....

my intuitive impression of the whole thread is that the speaker claims to seek an objective guideline, to which he ought to subject himself to. he claims to test it's qualities. it would almost seem as if he attempts to develop extroverted/objective thinking. but what is really happening is an...

what is applying logic, what is making such choices? you could argue that one should not try to grow or maintain their subjective health at all costs. that one should instead allow a supposedly objectified system of 'right and wrong' to limit their subjective impulses or their freedom (of...

yes, Absurdity, aesthetics is downstream from the structure of your true nature (structural self). goggle gives me a picture of weird al weird al yankovic for "tacky". that IS torture. having words like "axiom" thrown at me puts me into a killer mood.

consider the value of this particular knowledge in the context of all of your other values. how well will it fit in? your knowledge is an organic part of you. it may be like growing a cancer, metaphorically speaking. is there proof that the experience teaches you something that enhances your...

okay, i see, one could simply make the assumtion that various parts of you are in every thinkable growth situation. one could try to provide all arguments, that are relative to each situation. but this would be quite tiresome. alternatively you could ask ALL people to blurt our their subjective...

it's fundamentally illogical to assume that logic should be the sole foundation of your action. you are not living in a logical world and are no logical being. if i were to convince you of something, i would have to have an understanding of how your motivational system truly works (why you...

you have a lot of understanding, if you know that this instance of love was meant to be a version of thank you. unless you are wrong about that. yes, love is often communicated, while an appreciation of the gift, that you have been to that person, is experienced. love is not appreciation...

Ti tells you how you could pull something of and Fe tells you what immediate effect it will have on your mood and the moods of others. without Fe, you have no reason to think. you are that sad robot from hitchhikers guide, who feels that he is finished thinking and that the conclusion is in...

in my view Ti and Fe aren't any more opposite than metal and rubber in car wheels. one without the other is dysfunctional. (there are dissociated incarnations of these functions in individuals that appear antagonistic)

Ni and Ne are not really different functions. there is only intuition, which is to a degree optimized for the general intrinsic needs of the subject (introversion) and to a lesser degree optimized for adaptation to external situational needs and opportunities (extroversion) - or the other way...

schedule is close. i would suggest a broader concept and say it's a failure of your "map" of how things can work out. this includes psychological and physiological self-knowledge plus knowledge of your social and physical environment and how they all relate. your schedule would be your...

i think it's a high standard, if you expect people to say what they mean. you can't live up to it. people don't know what they mean most of the time. to know something is to say it silently in your head, to know a "meaning" is to put it in language, but meaning making does not originate in...

you can't make all facial expressions, try it out. I have to correct a typo: i wrote NiFe-SiTe hybrid but i meant NiFe-SeTi / INFJ-ESTP hyprid.

nope, all problems are thy own :D (a typical Ti response)
