this is tragically beautiful somehow. (who was it that said words/ideas have more power than anything else in this world. i can't find the quote..) some of mine are: * There is a reality, and this is it. Even if it is simulated on a greater scale, it is real within that context and no less...

I like this suggestion. I'm not familiar with the technical side of it atm, but I'll run it by the admins. I'd welcome any such compilations! :) Though my suspicion is that no matter how hard we try, we can't always precisely delineate where the lines are and if they've crossed them... because...

It requires earnest mod participation, yes. It has to be tended to like a garden. I'm quite optimistic about this, and have the time for it now. (: I also know a better tended forum attracts more desire to care for it - both from existing mods and any future ones. I suppose for myself, that'd be...

stoopid banned for fluff posting, incoherent language/sentences & generally frivolous material.

Hey guys, This is a general announcement to all forumers about a decision I've put forward to the mod team, to shift the forum direction back to the outlined rules, which haven't been properly enforced for ages. Starting this year, the mod team will re-begin to enforce many of the management...

The first bot is banned, but i can't quite make out the name of the other. Are they banned too? I have an idea for this which I'll bring up to the admins. My suggestion would be to have users with 0 posts be prohibited from making PM's. What that does is force bots to make forum posts first, at...

That sounds like a precious experience. :) Treasure it well. Do you think your heartfelt posting in the last year or may be related to you becoming more integrated with your Anima/the-feminine-in-the-male?

(random: you remind me a lot of Animekitty, in the voice tone and phenotype. are you guys related? 0: ) I've having similar difficulties reading you down to 1 type, as I have with Anime. It's as though something is irregular. What I can see clearly is native introversion. Your energy is very...

That may be true in the grand scheme of things... Though a public setting (like this forum) is a different story. Moderation still exists because communities have subjective biases. People don't want trash in their parks. So a collective will is called for. A community is injured by members who...

[threads merged] Well, I see that you've asked this at least a few times in the past, and I generally feel it was answered in the above posts. But I'll give it a try. So far as I see, nothing you've done appears ban-worthy. But, like you, I do notice that your posts quality is 'meh'-sh with...

I look forward to hearing about what you learn. :) Possibly, yes. It's hard to answer this without getting into a lot of (still-tentative) details. But I've tried to outline my general plan (at present) in this doc. Still very rough, but for the sake of sketching out a vision...

zerk: whoops! i haven't kept good track of member ages here. i kinda felt highschool seemed a bit young.. puffy: same! i went down to 115lbs sometime this year, but now i'm back up. getting lost in work will do that to ectomorphs like me. i bought a big sack of protein powder and would drink a...

is there a prophecy in there? is that when I finally get my own A.I. robot?

woah, how long does it take to have a wedding? i'm not really a believer in marriages.... but best wishes and good luck! zerk, early congrats! will u be taking some time off? or straight to work? college? i was so burnt out from school that i didn't go to college right after. i took some time...

Phew! Well that was quite a ride. I usually don't try to analyze someone based on six posts, but I wanted to do a bit of a self-experiment to see how my powers of deductions are fairing these days. I'm sorry for the assumptions I made about you, and any that were off. And thanks for...

@Animekitty - Well these aren't mean to be informative of whole type psychologies. They're just extreme polarities in caricature form. Mostly applicable to Ne and Ni doms that are very heavy in their primary function. Many an INTP may feel they're more Squidward than Spongebob if they had to...

EDIT: Okay, a triple analysis here. Get ready. pulling out all the stops #1: From the six posts I've gathered from you so far, you demonstrate a very adaptive nature. You are doubtful, reinventive and reinterpretive in the way that only high Pe+Ji users are. I like to call these types...

welcome! sounds like you'll fit right in. ..aren't we all? ..swimming about the sea of life, playing roles, paddling through the waters ...to make it somewhere before the hole in our portside floods the little boat that is us. 0: What's most important is that you discover who you are...

Comparison #3: Paprika vs Chiba Atsuko Highlight: Paprika is, in the self-same movie, a wonderful embodiment of full Ne. She is, much like Best-Boy, a shape shifter and is flighty, animated, dynamic and always evolving in real time. She is the optimistic character in the movie, providing...

Comparison #2 Spongebob vs Squidward http://imgur.com/MsRNqui.jpg Highlight: Spongebob is perhaps a perfectly exaggerated example of 100% Ne, and of Pe in general. His energy is entirely dynamic, active, naive, optimistic and engaged. His ideas are random, in-the-moment/spontaneous, and often...

I think this forum is severely lacking material on the theory which it's based on, so I figured I'd start this thread. But rather than using solely abstract verbal descriptions to differentiate these two very different functions -- this thread is dedicated mostly to tangible, visual/verbal...

Sorta like an ant colony? :tonberry: Hehe I've seen Mars One propose something like that, by piling up dirt over their habitats. Apparently that much is sufficient for radiation protection without needing full excavation: http://imgur.com/iJCZ06E.jpg I think subterranean habitats might be...

@Hado - yes, quite. And there are other things as well, such as color correction, and compensation tricks the brain plays. There are dozens of them, such as the infamous: http://imgur.com/j5KQp9s.jpg So our perceptual information is pre-processed even before it registers in our conscious...

The magnetic field issue is a pesky little bugger, isn't it? :ahh04: But actually... we can forego the magnetic field for now (until super intelligent A.I. think of a solution). The surface of Venus is more blocked from radiation than the earth is, due to the thickness of its atmosphere. So...

Mornin' Ucenna! Welcome to the forum :) That's an interesting view of the functions. I'm gonna see if I can comprehend your system properly here... You seem to believe in an 8 function model? ...where all 4 perception functions "work together" to provide cohesive perception pipeline of the...

Oh, that book's from Christopher Alexander! He's super high on my list of must-reads right now. Lor introduced me to him via "A City is Not a Tree." Genius man from what I've read. I agree with the concept of organic evolution of cities, and habitats as a whole. Maybe we can explore how this...

Have you guys seen the new Space X Mars announcement? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qo78R_yYFA Elon Musk has actually put forward a comprehensive, solid plan for mars colonization. Unlike existing proposals (NASA) for something as small as a token rock sample mission, or initial footprints...

Oh, I got the impression that the examples he saw did have the <style> tags, cuz they were adding it to the html. But they didn't explain how it would look when you move it out of the html. It's an easy assumption to make. Other types of pages like php do generally keep open and closing tags...

Re: 29/12/2017 Forum Drama Resolution Hehe, too late! I've gone through the disenchantment phase already. What modship looks like to others: What it's actually like: *puts on apron* "now now, try to keep the floor clean for a few days, we just swept" (i'll do my best to help out. ty for...

If your css is in a style.css page, then you don't need to have the [style] tags in the page. That should do it I think. Good luck with this!

Videos are more engaging than text! :) But Cenk does get really worked up for no reason there; sorry about that. Please ignore those political undertones if u can. I don't mean to debate politics here. I just thought the vid did a good job of contrasting the USA system with Finland in a few...

I recently came across Finland's model of education: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlOfZL_J5fo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN9P8uHEtUg What do you guys think of this system? Here's the main points I gathered from some online sources: No schooling until age 7 (kids should be kids)...

The [Helm] Academy of Individuation - Spiritual | Mental | Physical - http://imgur.com/DbHLTpS.png Inauguration: Summary: Stats: Structure of School: Curriculum:

So many great ideas here. @Puffy - Despite the ease, I wouldn't select adulthood as the platform/timing to start the proper education methodology. I mean, when you go to University, finally it's about: Voluntary education and subjects/classes (you're there cuz u wanna be) You really get...

Ditto on the removal of the reward/punishment system. The athenians saw it very much the same way, and learning was more often an open forum of idea exploration. Something that hasn't been brought up yet that I wanna discuss is: the development of character A good primer to what I mean is...

I'm not sure how to best ask this, but here are a few variations. Hopefully the essence of the question is somewhere in there...How would you ideally educate children to fully realize their potential? And what would the best educational approach look like? What pedagogy is most optimally suited...

Interesting question! First, I think the actual scale of this question's hypothetical implications need to be addressed. (I'll leave aside the question of "what is bad/good?" for now and just go with the generic idea) Some things that jump out to me right from the get-go: Social Economics...

this thread:

Well, isn't that convenient. "I'm using a hacked account, but he's innocent, therefore you're not allowed to ban me because then you're banning someone innocent (Cherry). So I'm now unbannable." Not like, y'know, hacking another member's account isn't enough grounds in itself for banning the...

I wasn't but I'll check it out!

@Yellow - I think a neutral approach to this subject is great. it's been over 5 years. so any residual tension likely fizzled out long ago. Cheese's done a great job of covering the basics. They have 1 other tenant Id mention called "Spirit Forms" which is actually pretty much...

Or I can say: "I have lived to see that few people live up to 90 years, and none lived more than 95. I can therefore, with a high degree of certainty, say that I will not live to be 100." What makes the difference between these two? More data. Context. Breadth. What falsifies or...

@Tannhauser - From what I'm getting... to you, the chemist who goes in his lab and performs experiments to find a metal's property (such as the melting point) isn't doing science, they're just "observing" and "documenting" To me that's science. Even if he doesn't yet know why it melts at...

@Tannhauser - Having read the other thread, what I hear you saying is that you absolutely restrict the word "scientific" to theories which have the quality of delineating a type of systemic "underlying cause". And all else isn't science, it's just observation. I don't know why you don't think...

@Architect - Aye. I've found that those whose objection to MBTI are as such, also generally have little enthusiasm for "psychology" as a whole and are the ones to often chant "psychology is bullshit". The MBTI is about as good, practically, as many of the DSM's present definitions of...

@Kuu - damn you ninja! er, Alpha = Ti/Fe+Ne/Si functions. So Alpha-Pe is a Pe-dom Alpha, and alphas only have those functions, so there's only 1 option. I agree though, that too few data bits doesn't give enough info. Simple isn't always better, which Apple recently proved by getting rid of...

Have to agree with OmoInisa. In reality the JCF-MBTI (i'm gonna make a distinction here and call the other one the 4-letter-MBTI) isn't saying "a perception dominant type" when they use the letter "P" -- they're saying high Pe/Ji user, so they're just describing different things. But ESC is...

I tried to reply to this. but there's just so. much. to. say.

The little prick. Possibly the most un-likeable fictional character ever. next to donald trump.

it said "push to start", so i did... :kilroy:
