Cleopatra/Voltaire I took the test twice and changed my answers on the questions that I hesitated on. I got the same result both times. I really liked the descriptions and the model of the different parts of the brain. Voltaire and I have many shared ideas and beliefs so the test is...

I agree. I think that Bill Gates is an INTP. True passion is more powerful than nature. Outwardly his appearance does seem to be ENTJ or some other possibility.

Welcome! Are you ready for the initiation?

Memes are used to pass down information, for education and for fun. Quotes for example are memes. I learn from art and visual representations of reality more than the ridged scientific representations. It's just a preference since I am a visual learner. Words and numbers are pictures to...

The term always is subjective and objective. We don't know if time is linear, if it loops, or something unimaginable. We also perceive time differently and relative to your physical position in space-time. So saying that it has "always" been there may not necessarily mean the same thing that...

Greetings! Just said hi to you in the other thread. I'm with you on being too lazy to read! I prefer to get most of my information in the form of video or images. Anything in particular that you're interested in lately?

Welcome! I can be your internet buddy. I think that it's easier for INTPs to communicate through writing. Talking does not allow for enough time to ponder the topic being discussed. It's like talking to other people in your head, except that they are real (kinda, I think a few may be...

Hah... I ended up changing it after multiple people said that I should. I was planning on changing my signature soon anyways. I tried staring at it for a while, and every once in a while I could see parts of the words. I want to get the "fuck the color blind" t-shirt and use it to pick up...

As you develop your sensing, you will find more interests. Yoga and meditation is a good addition to a workout routine. If you are more aware of your muscles, you can focus and get a better workout. I wish I was better with music. I want to learn but I think I have difficulty with...

No, I mostly play at casinos. They typically only have variations on Texas Hold'em. Nothing like this. Also, there's not really any money in playing home games even if you win consistently. Chinese poker sounds interesting. If I knew there was a game locally, I would try it out. It...

I want to learn how to work with a few new artistic mediums. Maybe woodworking, or painting. I've seen a lot of different styles and mediums for painting. I wood lathe would be fun to learn and toy around with. What other skills would you like to learn? Or what skills do you think you need...

k9b4, I agree with you 100%! I know there are a lot of people here that disagree with balance and harmony. I've seen so much resistance to exploring anything other than math and science. Basically believing that other people are dumb for having interests in other phenomena. I've...

Just one example of psychology in design. My photo looks towards my post, which controls the direction of the readers focus. There is a study where a diaper advertisement used a front-facing baby vs. a side-facing baby. As you can see from the heat mapping, people focus on the face when it...

:confused:

Yeah, don't be such a J. My ego is perfectly in check. Just remember, you all exist in MY world and are like ants to me. :icon_pferdehaufen: I would be the first to know if I actually had a problem. ... edit: I should note that I am being facetious.

The power to punch people in the face over the internet. :smoker:

You confused "ideas" for well thought out and highly elaborated, tested, and confirmed "ideas". Relativity existed before anyone discovered it. Scientists didn't invent it or create the phenomenon. Someone can imagine it without all the math. I never said that. You inferred that, and...

Nanook, I think I know what you're getting at. If you try to find ways to control dreams, then you are taking a difficult approach. Instead try to day dream, or setup the dream before you fall asleep. The problem is that that part of your brain is not used consciously during the day, so it's...

Hahaha, YOU should read that. Just trying to call me an idiot in another way. Passive aggressive BS. Call me an idiot to my face, I don't care and it doesn't bother me.

First of all, I never said either of those things. You are really good at taking my words out of context and arguing some irrelevant point as if it were related. You are creating another straw man argument by using similar quotes and calling it "idiotic sentiments" to invalidate my point...

Math is a representation of reality, not the reality itself. Someone can have an idea that represents the same idea without math. Math is just one abstraction of reality. Calling my comment a straw man— is a straw man argument. If anything you created the straw man argument to begin with...

Does sound really even exist? Some vibrations are imperceptible, is that sound? You are recalling and recreating sounds in your head. I don't believe that this uses the eardrums very often while dreaming. However, it's possible for muscles to flex, and blood to flow around the area and...

Yeah, they both are stupid and suck at math. That's totally what I was saying. Thanks for clearing that up for everyone. :rolleyes:

SEO for local business is a narrowed demographic or niche market, so it's basically what I was suggesting. It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it, and you can ignore my comments as they do not apply to you. Personally, I focus on the psychology of development more than marketing...

Cognisant and Kuu have hit the nail on the head. It's just an abstract representation of a real phenomenon. It's mechanical from a low level, and the larger the system, the less mechanical it becomes (more variables). So quantum mechanics works on small physical systems. It's abstract and...

The way that I approach the problem, is by allowing the other person to make the connections. Otherwise you are telling them what to believe and people resist so much that they don't hear what you say. Just give them little bits of your idea, and then let them tell you what details need...

The first test... OMG ads! Then it insults you for not liking the test, and frankly sounds like it was written by a child. With your 35 % you are: Congratulations, you are an honorable Samarai. You enjoy honor, and things that are honorable, and doing things with honor, you honorable person...

No worries. I think that I understood what you were trying to say, but I just don't see how that's any different than what was already being said. If you have to change the logic to fit the idea, then that isn't knowledge of a fact. Instead of changing the model, just call it a fact and...

I wrote a post in reply to comment in another thread where someone was using Richard Dawkins to give weight to their argument. You can see how straw man arguments work in action. “I was hoping someone might recognize the reference from Richard Dawkins and other atheists that they at least...

Err. Sorry.

First... I'm not sure what A, B, or C are referring to in your statement. I'm assuming they are 1, 2, and 3. There are infinite alternatives to the matrix that you would also have to exclude to make this argument work. The matrix is not the only concept that could break the logic. And if...

I believe you may be referring to the logical fallacy called a Straw Man argument. Straw Man arguments are not a good way to win a debate. They are a good way to trick people who already are leaning to one side. Your opponent is forced to go in circles which makes them look like an idiot...

Things can be logical and non-factual. You can not assume logic derives fact. It may only be true in one dimension. There is no reason that it can not be known. Just that we can not know if we know. We can never be sure because another condition may exist that would destroy the logic...

I am glad to see that you're paying attention! :) You should try to understand the idea behind the words, instead of looking so hard at the words themselves. Words are similar to facts, and they are loaded with emotional baggage. Words only have meaning because we give them meanings...

To save you some time, I would say to not worry about ranking on Google. It's too big and really competitive. Use what you learn about SEO, and apply it to smaller networks (not search engines). Niches are the gold, SEO is a huge waste of time. After something takes off, the rankings...

Yes, the quote implied that. You can't know that you don't know something. In the same way that you can't know that a fact is factual. Watch The Matrix again, just the first one. Facts are supported by other facts, and those are supported by more facts. If one fact in the chain is fiction...

INTPs are rare and seclusive. They typically alienate others that don't share the same beliefs. They are well suited to pair off with someone that is their opposite (astrology or MBTI, take your pick). Usually socially inept even though they aren't as weird as they feel. Usually stupidly...

Facts exist regardless of the truth. “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” ― Socrates Facts are for people who see the world in black and white. They need something to hang on to so that they can feel safe and secure.

I agree with this 100%. It's not a discussion if no one is listening and everyone is talking. Hearing is not the same as listening.

Having an open mind is only a problem if it consumes too much time. You can have an open mind and not accept any new idea. You just have to be open and listen to what others have to say. Closed mindedness is the real problem. Again, there is no requirement to accept the ideas. You just...

This is sleep paralysis, OOBE, astral projection, etc... People associate this with demons, aliens, ghosts, and many other things. There are drugs that can trigger them. DMT, Melatonin are the two that people use the most often. They are both from mushrooms... I can do it pretty much...

The rules are what you make them. You can allow things to happen, or control them 100%. You can change the rules, and see how it affects everything in the arena. Most times I setup the stage and the situation. Everything else fills itself in, and sometimes they interact with my dream...

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. Internal (belief), external (social belief), and universal (reality) truths.

Well, it's not my fault. I never said that! You are taking my words out of context and giving them a new meaning. You are putting words into my mouth and misrepresenting them in a false context. This immediately raises tons of red flags for me. My point is that if you practice and...

Why does creativity need standards? What am I missing? "Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others." (citation needed :phear:)...

It was requested of me to post more videos... Have I ever spammed quotes in ANY other thread? Nope. It WAS creative how I used the quotes. It was not random selection, and it was prudent to the thread. I formatted them to make it entertaining. Using the quotes was completely intentional...

Absolutely! “A person hears only what they understand.” – Goethe At the same time... "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." – Albert Einstein And... “Ignorance, the root...

+1 for Lucid Dreams, I would be game for chatting about dreams and alternate dream states. Recently, I've gotten into Greek Mythology, Astrology, Ancient civilizations, and Philosophers, plus many other things. Very much into the Golden Ratio, psychology, marketing, art & design, aggregate...

Some people go insane over the Golden Ratio. You should be skeptical, but equally as skeptical in all knowledge. You can PM me with questions regarding these things if you want. Here are a few more videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN0rB0CKkG0...
