You might be right, geniuses are rarely understood in their own time. Blob never misses an opportunity to mention his IQ so I'm sure he's under that impression to.
:D
You're wiser than I, Jenny. I hate that I let it bother me. I guess it's just that I'm surrounded by it in real life as well and so I lash out. I've got to find a better way to express myself.
:)
Who are you trying to convince, Blob? Us or yourself? You've got to know that no one here thinks you're some sort of messiah and that if you say it it must be true. Your problem is that for all your pontificating, you lack the ability to demonstrate how and why anything you say is true and...
Ah yes, those were the days.
* pokes Melkor in the eyes with his fingers three stooges style then kicks him in the crotch and takes his wallet *
How have you been, anyway?
:D
I agree, but those with not so clear thinking would never let it happen since so many of them are in positions of power. We can't have schools teaching kids to question things now can we? ;)

The following are suggested as tools for testing arguments and detecting fallacious or fraudulent arguments:

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!????????
:eek: <----- This is the only guy I recognize here anymore ... and he no longer recognizes me.
:mad: <----- This guy recognizes me, though, because I think I slept with his sister.
:aufsmaul: <----- And this guy's mother...
Good link.
Does anyone else find themselves reading these and thinking "if only insert name here would just read this", only to stop and think "oh shit, how many of these am I guilty of?"
That thought makes me want to quit debating anything for fear of looking like a total fool. :eek:
I drop in for a visit and ........... sigh
PapyrusAirplanes, as an atheist who has left this place in part because of Da Blob, I would ask that you seek out the religious discussions that happened before his arrival, particularly those involving FusionKnight, fullerene (aka cryptonia)...
Noobies? For a minute there I thought you said Loobies and that maybe you had a legion of wet and slippery little people to cum join me on the beach.
And what adult sexy talk? We're just talking about the hugeness that is the INTPness. This is INTP forum you know.
tee-hee ;)
That's alot a...
So much lube? What?
Man, you act like you don't even know me!
I don't think you're really IB. You're Face aren't you?
Bastard.
:tonberry:<---- This guy know all about the lube.
All the naked, big titted angels are busy blowing something else right now, IB.
We're out here on an undisclosed patch of Gulf of Mexico beach if you want to join us. You won't believe this, but there's lubricant everywhere and we're having a hell of a nice time!
:kilroy: ---- Noddy peeks in ........
I was thinking of posting here again until I saw you'd returned IB.
Now I know I'll never ever post here again.
:D <---- I can't believe this fucking smile-a-holic is still here. Won't someone kill him?
As I understand it, this song is about the pain of losing a loved one. It makes me think of my grandmother (she was like a second mother to me) who died in 2002 from a brain tumor. I also think about my mother in law who is still battling terminal cancer.
And love lost ........
And the...
^---- Those were really interesting (I didn't have time to watch the long one, though). They've done similar brain scans on people praying and doing other activities and the results are pretty fascinating. I think we are seeing a tremendous leap forward in our understanding of how the mind...
I consider myself a skeptic and, to me, it is an approach that takes into account probabilities rather than certainties. But that doesn't mean the skeptic is forever unsure of anything. The skeptical mind is forever asking "what's most likely" given the available information and that usually...
Music appreciation itself may not have an evolutionary advantage, but it may be the by-product of various attributes that do have evolutionary advantages. Here's a quote about Stephen Pinker's theory regarding music appreciation from the article I cited above:
Re: INTPs appreciate wierdness?
Oh yeah, sorry. I frequently forget about the bizarre things I write on this forum and then come back later and think "did I really write that?" This is one of those occasions. :smoker:
Here are a couple of links. The first article directly addresses the subject of music and the second one indirectly addresses it. I highly recommend the second one in general because it touches on several subjects I have seen raised on the forum in recent months.
I tend to think that our...
Well that's just it ........... the fucker's too pious to put out. Keeps telling me he's married to Jesus or some shit like that. And as for the hot pokers, apparently he just chalks that up to "suffering for the Lord" so it takes the fun right out of it.
And IB likes it too rough for my taste...
Who said anything about bullets? I'm a masturbatory assassin.
Woe to those who come to work without a raincoat and goggles on the ill fated day that I finally snap.
EDIT: Was that ^ a weird thing to say?
I'm weird in the nervous ticks, unkempt appearance, overly analytical demeanor, and twisted humor sense of the word, but I certainly don't go out of my way to draw attention to myself.
Although I did a bit in my youth, choosing to give off that potential school shooter vibe with the trench...
Well, I guess I should come clean now that your panties are in a twist over this whole thing.
Here's the god's honest, truth:
I was scurrying through "crackwhoreville" (as the locals lovingly call it) and peeping in windows, as is my usual Saturday night custom, when I spotted a particularly...
This is true. I posted that on my way out to work and then found myself wondering about a few things Krauss said. Now I wish I'd started a separate thread about it to see if anyone can answer my questions. I don't want to derail this one unless it's with talk of the evolution of the Pness. ;)
This isn't about evolution, but it's fascinating nonetheless. Krauss is an entertaining speaker. I'm too lazy to start a whole new thread just for this:
YouTube- 'A Universe From Nothing' by Lawrence Krauss, AAI 2009
I appreciate you sharing these. They have been fascinating. "The Human Spark" was really good and dove tailed nicely with the book "Supersense" that I just finished reading.
It seems like there were others, but I don't recall at the moment...........
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - Douglas Adams
The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul - Douglas Adams
Mostly Harmless - Douglas Adams
Salmon of Doubt - Douglas Adams
Self Editing for Fiction Writers - Renni Brown...
This was interesting and I think he's on to something.
I often wonder if all of these choices will, at some point, naturally go back down to fewer choices. Computers can only get so fast before the fast and the faster become indistinguishable from each other. Cell phones can only get so small...
