You mind if I create a new thread on this topic? Psychology is one of my top interests. I don't want to hijack the thread. :smoker:

I would wish for that, but then I would accidentally imagine myself out of existence. :angel01: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0fNNWDe0hs

No, you are perfectly rational. To completely close yourself into a box is irrational. And, no you're not coming off as a prick. You are open minded which is a rarity around here. If there was no open-mindedness, then science would cease to make any progress. Science is an inaccurate...

Look it up, don't be lazy. :rolleyes: It's something that most people will refuse to understand. I can send you many citations but what's the point? Some people figure it out, and most don't. http://www.dhammawiki.com/index.php?title=Theravada If you want to read something, then this one...

Lucid dreaming is about confidence. Confident people usually have lucid dreams and unconfident usually people don't. Lucid dreaming is a good place for developing your skills. I use it for drawing and painting, testing my ideas, and working out social situations in a controlled environment...

Yeah it's scary if you struggle. lol... Just let the demons take you for a ride. :angel01: If you have a good pair of earphones, listen to some binaural beats. Everything in the universe is tuned to the Golden Ratio. The binaural beats can tune your brain to natural frequencies. When you...

Why stop at lucid dreams? Try to go for an OOBE (out of body experience/sleep paralysis).

1st: Yeah, I am nice to pretty much everyone except for dicks. My downstairs neighbor kept parking his truck in front of my garage so I would have to deal with him before I could leave. When he has company over, he has them park in front of my garage too. He's got like 200lbs on me, and...

Hahah! I know what you mean. I am very selective about being a dick to only those who are deserving of dickery. It's fun sometimes. Philosophically speaking, can anyone really be a dick? Like if someone is a dick in the middle of a forest, and no one is there to be dicked around, is that...

Yes. No one likes a know-it-all. Plus, most people don't care to have deep or intellectual conversations. I've always been embarrassed by my abilities because other people have to work hard to be good at things, and it's easy for me so I try to do a bad job. It's tough when I meet people...

Light exists and doesn't exist.

I'm not sure why you quoted me, or if you're saying that I'm giving nonsensical arguments. You should not invest so much into others opinions. Getting upset doesn't give weight to your arguments. And calling people names is not going to win favor in any argument. However, if there is...

I think global warming is a result of an electromagnetic balancing between insulated planets, and stars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQHOAqTCuHc

I would say that atoms are living, but I cannot say whether or not they have free-will or a consciousness. However, when they chain together with other atoms in a system; they begin to have the ability to deviate from the natural order of things. First, they attain a hive intelligence, then...

Yes, I was referring to "perception of light" because you don't "see" the light until it travels into your brain.

Atoms have a life(half-life), so that means that they are living. :rolleyes:

Free-will = radiation from the mean.

Look up the first law of thermodynamics. The battery heats up before light is discharged from the laser pointer system.

Take a look in the mirror and then go for it! Who am I to stop you? :angel01:

The EM wave is the source of light. The EM wave hits your eyeballs and it's interpreted as light. Light is just one frequency of energy. At other frequencies it would be x-rays, or sound. In another dimension, it would not be skin.

There is an equal or opposite reaction to any force. If you have two magnets, they would both be repelling each other. You're imagining that one magnet is pushing the other submissive magnet around which is incorrect. It's all a system of energy. There is no light and everything you see is...

Yeah, Einstein was known for having an interesting sense of humor. ;)

The expressions are forced and misleading. The micro expressions are glaring and demonstrate other expressions. And they are not showing any body posturing to match the facial expression. Usually facial expressions like "surprise" are followed by a drop in the expression to "relief." The...

I like that you posted this, and he touches on a point that I made earlier about training different parts of your brain. See 2:50s into the video. http://youtu.be/WKOgJbgGAfo?t=2m50s Also, this video touches on the same concept from 1:52 to . It was reccomended based on watching the video...

Great I'm glad that you're using a similar technique! It is just a way for you to take a hard look at your beliefs instead of just having "faith" in them and rejecting ideas as false because they lack the capacity to understand. The great thing about thinking is that it adds more neural...

I explained how to internalize the process of rubber-ducking. You are having problems, and your solution is to avoid the problem and blame it on everyone else. If you get all of your answers internally, then what are you doing here? I guess it's your choice to live in a small, close-minded...

I like your idea of pinging the system, and the vibrations travelling throughout the system. A high vibration lifestyle is likely to result in cancer or other radioactive effects. He probably also worked hard, and got healthy amounts of sunlight, was relaxed, and ate foods with...

Architect, You should look into Extreme Programming. They have designed many tools that INTPs can use to their advantage. Just try to imagine how you can apply computer programming concepts to your day-to-day life. I use a technique called "rubber-ducking" that helps develop the external...

Exactly! Everyone just has a different internal model for interpreting reality. If your internal model is god, then everything else in reality will be twisted to fit the model. If your model is calculus, then everything else in reality will be twisted to fit this model. Neither model...

Balance is important, not well roundedness. Personally, I am very balanced between left and right braindedness. This allows me to compare mathematical concepts to abstract concepts as if they were the same. I can abstract concrete math formulas into easy to understand abstract ideas, and...

Isn't "everything happens for a reason" similar to saying "cause and effect"? I think the consensus misrepresent this to mean "purpose and effect". Same concept, different interpretation. Physics determines that there is an equal or opposite force. So they believe in a natural phenomenon...

Everyone has great answers. If you are just starting out, then I would learn the basics of math and programming before approaching AI. Computer AI is not necessarily useful. Functions and object methods are much more useful in computing. If you want to integrate AI into a computer program...

Not really. It would take a long time to explain. I'm working on documenting my thoughts so that I can explain how everything relates and is connected. It wouldn't be scientific, but I want it to be an accurate representation of reality (or at least as close as possible). I have been drawing...

The highway robbery was in reference to the civil forfeiture law. Police try to find people who are carrying large amount of cash so that they can steal it and split the take with the federal government. They have guns and you can not refuse. The pull you over on the highway. If it wasn't...

Actually, people care because money and property has value regardless of who owns it. There are a lot of people with interest in gaining money, so there will be people who fight it out in court. It's literally highway robbery! I think that a fly realizes I exist when I chasing it down...

I have ideas that explain how it works, and why everything follows the pattern, and why we find is so attractive, and even how to use it practically and predicatively. It even relates to string theory, sound, perception, emotions, and a whole boat load of other things. Same here, but I could...

It's relative consciousness. Relative to us, insects are pretty stupid so we don't feel bad squishing them. The same thing applies to animals and cells. Apparently, your possessions and even money has human rights... Have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kEpZWGgJks The truth...

It's usually after 2am when I post, so I know what you mean. I don't agree with everything sleepy-me writes!

Are you talking about the test results in my signature? I paid to take the test on a website called mypersonality.info. I think that the multiple intelligence can change over time, so I would be interested in re-taking that portion of the test. One thing that I find odd is that they group...

I believe time and perception of time has to do with relativity and mass. Like when you watch the movie ants, and the person from the ants point of view is walking super slow. If they showed this from our perception of time, it would look fake and cause cognitive dissonance. We have an innate...

Well, I'm an an engineer by profession so I have little interest in spending my free time with computer related topics. Abstractly, maybe. I like systems, ideas, and abstractions. Fibonacci is something that I am particularly interested in. Texas Hold'em Poker, the stock market, aggregate...

AnimeKitty, I think that you are going in too many directions. Stick with a single idea, create concrete ideas, and then expand the model. Adjust the model as you build upon it. I feel like you're making giant leaps before having a solid understanding of the foundation. With that...

Darn, nothing you said is interesting to me in the slightest. :confused:

No worries.

Ditto! Hmm... I'm not sure what to say about that page exactly. Sounds more like a rant than anything else... But, based on what they said, I would say that I am definitely an INTP. You say that every point is irrelevant to I/E typing but I would have to disagree. I feel like you are...

My feedback (had to cut a lot): The shape of the AI brain is irrelevant. In computer processing you can emulate any brain shape without necessarily creating a physical brain to process the information. Pruning is not really necessary. When you build more connections, the concepts become...

Welcome Count Dusseldorf! :) What are your top interests as an INTP?

No need to feel for me buddy! That was how I used to be, but now I am very good in social situations when I choose to be. You can learn to be more charismatic and improve your conversation skills. I felt like I was never going to be good in social situations and I figured it out. I wish...

Wow! Thank you for going into so much detail for me! I am looking up introverted ENTPs, and I will report back after doing some research. A few reason that I believe that I am an introvert... 1. I gain energy from being alone with my thoughts, and am drained quickly in any social...

I'm surprised only 2.5% of the population has an IQ over 130. My IQ is somewhere in the 99.99th percentile. Is it artificially inflated because I am an INTP? Possibly. Does having a high IQ make me smarter than anyone? No, it does not. Does it feel good having an IQ higher than my...
