Looks, money, status. Any one will leave room for viability. Women seek security and stability, leaving their maneuvering after high school much different from the years during. Women experience peak desirability somewhere between 18 and 21 (depending on the source). After, appeal steadily...

Are you sure you're an INTP? Why did you do poorly in high school? College?

Machines taking over all jobs will be like customer service being outsourced to India. While stupid, I bet they try to do it anyway. I'll be rich, retired, and messing with the girl of my dreams in a nice house. Travelled the world? Maybe. Maybe it'd be fun, but I think most destinations have...

IQ doesn't matter because 98% of the population are below the level of synthesis (and 80%+ below one standard deviation). At the same time, many are prone to envy and competitiveness. Better to have an IQ 2 standard deviations above and complain than to be dumber. On the other hand...

Megadose D3 in this case is ~300-500 IU/kg/day for 3-6 months. Up to 2 years. 10 IU D3 : 2 mcg+ K2 MK-4. And magnesium.

In a way that's a distraction from the point. Have you tried anything to address the condition (not just maintain nutrient sufficiency)? Fasting? Megadose vitamin D3? Iodine protocol? Magnesium + B6 P-5'-P?

I have no plan on being vegan/vegetarian. I was wondering how it affected the poster I responded to and also suggesting they haven't gotten any labs run to verify/check their status.

Curious to about lab work to assess hormone/nutrient/etc status given dietary choices. And a body fat and bone density test.

See the supplement recommendations I made above. Also: What do you have to do? Why? What do you need to make it happen? Are you going to do it? When? Eliminating urgency is great. Have many things bouncing around in the back of your mind. What do you need to do? Think about the paper you need...

Maybe dopamine/acetylcholine/testosterone (if male) is low. Is there some sort of health thing or is it wiring? I got 11/14 on the test.

Even the study I quoted talked about "isoenergetic" allotments which resulted in many more grams of plant- than animal-based protein. Nuts, eh? Yet another thing that lowers testosterone. A calorie isn't a calorie. Certain nutrients aren't as required depending on overall intake, stress, and...

Regression: given free reign, all that would be left are bacteria and other basic organisms. Humans do something unnatural: artificial selection via institutionalization and media influence. We are being led down a path decided by a handful of self-interested psychopathic idiots. In all...

The "fittest" are usually the simplest. You're talking about regression. What if.. a virus is like sperm?

Prove your point. The idea is plant-based proteins have lower amounts of certain amino acids. Also, many more grams have to be consumed to be equivalent to animal protein ("isoenergetic"). Tofu only? What other plant-based proteins of relevance exist? What opposes sex hormone synthesis...

Well, no: https://reference.medscape.com/medline/abstract/11103227.

Should've just stuck with iodine in most cases..

Many instances of cancer and other issues traced back to vitamin D and magnesium insufficiency. That is, there was some sort of long running deficiency lowering defenses. Eating within a 1-6 hour window at least after turning 25 is likely another good idea, as more time is then spent healing...

Non-animal protein results in lower testosterone among males, which is especially bad during puberty. Also, organ meats are preferrable to muscle meats. Spread it around.

Organ meats. Animals in the wild are said to consume organs, leaving the muscle meat humans are biased toward. Getting more calories from (saturated and monounsaturated) fats than protein is one part of normalizing/maintaining gender hormones. For example, 40% carbs + 30% fat + 30% protein...

The best diet is probably one with a little bit of everything (ie, spread it around). Many tend to be missing things like greens, quality water, etc. Sometimes even watery fruits. IIRC, animals in the wild are said to eat organ meats after a kill and not muscle meat or bones. Certain nutrients...

Had any blood work done? Hormone, thyroid, nutrient, etc panels may be revealing. There are YouTube videos mentioning supplements women have tried to increase likelihood of conceiving. On the other hand, maybe the body is saying something if averse to getting pregnant.

It's magically gotten colder and warmer inside, though temperatures from weather.com remained similar. If experiencing lethargy due to cold and cloudiness, it's implied you need to start a multivitamin + D & K + (chelated/TRAACS) magnesium stack. Vitamin D3 (± K), especially. There's also using...

6/10. I don't really like it.

The INTP approach isn't necessarily to not do homework, though there can be motivation issues. Rather, they do the bare minimum needed to get a satisfactory grade where there's no future/point. Weighing the time an assignment will take with its inherent value (ie, how much it affects the grade)...

Pessimism, depression, etc. All nutrition-related problems. Probably has low vitamin D, for example. The rest indicate a need for meditation, reflection, search for solutions, and a shedding of the BS mumbled by others. Meditate don't ruminate. The latter repeats rather than converges...

I'm saying most who have become wealthy did so via theft and/or deception. That is an assessment of the wealthy pool not what I assume to be required.

How so?

I was a software engineer for 3 years about 8 years ago (haven't worked since; others say paranoid schizophrenia, but I say sabotage). I worked at eBay for 2.5 years and Google for ~4 months. I felt my life wasting away, then I started being explicitly harassed. And the recession didn't help. I...

Working hard is pushed such that the ones at the top can "get more out of." Others push the notion in an attempt to keep everyone else down, because they have work ethic and no talent, or to excuse trying to get more for less.

Few do anything other than work 9-5. The majority of wealthy individuals got there via (indirect/effectively) theft or deception. There are some, as always, that arrived due to luck or timing. The majority who conduct business honestly find there's actually no market, get shafted, or maybe limp...

What majority have made a lot of money and are ethical, etc beyond a facade? Maybe the tech bubble minted some wealthy people, but most of them are shit. Whoever sat at the "top of the pyramid." Everyone else has to sit with the reality: they get nothing or maybe crumbs. It's an illusion.

Most with a lot of money are unethical, uncharitable, boring (beyond penny pinching), and stingy. Once dug into, it becomes clear acquiring wealth usually requires theft and deception. There's also savers, but though such an approach is accessible, they aren't common (except maybe among senior...

What about when run through IBM's tool: https://personality-insights-demo.ng.bluemix.net/?

There's another one from IBM: https://personality-insights-demo.ng.bluemix.net. And one that uses Facebook post history: https://applymagicsauce.com/demo.

I suppose it's limited, but you're missing the point. What about market-tested and appropriately-/cost-curve- priced eBooks/courses that are fed traffic via SEM, SEO, and other networks? Sites that go in detail about one product (a laptop, for example, or a multivitamin) and include an...

Finding a (penetrable/accessible) market with acceptable margins is 90% of the battle. Almost everything can be outsourced. On the other hand, the edge could be from being able to absorb the costs (ie, do the most expensive things yourself). Earning enough to retire is a different story. On the...

You're getting caught up in terminology. Even then, you're probably trying to start a lifestyle business. There's a high probability many newer VCs are INTP. What's there to a business? Finding a market. An accessible/penetrable market. To which you can deliver something they'll...

Do they? I pick general directions and try to create freedom to move around as desired/necessary. Software engineering entered my field of view in high school, however, and stuck. On the other hand, the actual jobs sucked while I was working (ie, need to work alone to truly enjoy it).

I did poorly in college even though I liked the major. It was mainly due to sabotage. I'd keep getting graded down or shafted. In addition, a lingering motivation problem got extreme and I was also unable to find time to myself. It was further amplified by poor eating (not eating enough)...

Dumb at a high IQ is possible, but on average learning speed goes way up.

That is probably more applicable to the norm/average IQ. At 2 standard deviations from the norm, for example, learning speed increases dramatically. In addition, nootropics can make learning trivial.

Put in a car price, $0 down, 5% interest, and a 48 month term into the following calculator: https://www.cars.com/car-loan-calculator/. Multiply the resulting monthly payment by 48 to get the total amount paid, then divide by the original car price.

As was also said, car prices go up. $1.105 is paid toward the $1.00 loan after 4 years. After saving 4 years to buy cash, a $1.00 car then costs ~$1.105. Same amount spent in either scenario.

It is a depreciating asset. Let's say a car costs X + T and there's X + T in the bank. If bought with cash, you are left with $0.00. In addition, it loses D% of it's value and maintenance + insurance + etc sum to M after 5 years. Final amount after 5 years is then (1-D) * X - M - (X + T). If a...

If a car loan has an interest rate at around 5% and the markets are returning 8% over inflation (~10-11% overall), then it's better to get a loan than pay cash. If not starting with a balance (in the markets) high enough to pay cash, then it's probably better to save than take out a loan. If the...

Save half your take-home salary into a high-yield investment account. Retirement is achieved at 5x the price of a house, with 1x buying the house. 7-10x is more conservative. 5x assumes a yearly return 4% over inflation.

Maybe low testosterone/dopamine which can also cause depression? Are you physically tired? Worn out? Maybe there isn't anything worth aspiring toward. If so, seek out new projects/interests.

I have something. Some would say it's paranoid schizophrenia or OCD, but I say I'm a targeted individual (ie, was sabotaged). Megadose vitamin D. Iodine protocol. Dry fasting.

Meditate, watch some YouTube videos, join forums related to each path and ask other INTPs about their experiences and future prospects, etc. INTPs tend to like engineering, programming, math, etc. Pick a career (that you also like) offering high salaries to consultants/freelancers, as many...
