fantasy is a way for smart people to escape from the stupidity of conformism on the one hand and conscious moral corruption on the other hand. in that sense it's a superior paradigm, compared to the mundane reality of the productive society. it's goofy in how it hasn't discovered a way of...

you know, i'm 35 and you are what 17? when i was 21 i saw people at age 35 beginning to figure out things slowly. i thought i should be faster, im that introverted psychology geek after all, i shall gonna figure out things right now! but somehow i didn't. i just made up some more bullshit for a...

don't focus on fear, that's just one emotional manifestation or face of control (anger, greed, jealousy ...), control being the attempt to define yourself, to make yourself into something apparent, because that is supposed to be an advantage in the world, be it society or nature. in my book...

leaned from experience, but experience interpreted through a paradigm of what matters in our social world. i don't mean the emotion itself, i mean how you take it into account in how you define your interests and believes, the product of fear so to say. you are clearly encouraged to be...

depends. the common problem of the dying mind can be solved spiritually, but usually it isn't. real life intelligence is, within the limits of a physically healthy brain, mostly a matter of motivation. identification is a possible expression of motivation. but motivation can also give up on...

i like his work. i do "meh" over some of them. the greyish simple ones don't get the attention of my MTV mind. i like a good motive, or strong colors, or both. my favorite is this one: never thought about it like you do in your first quoted paragraph. i just label it "dream perspective on...

look at your understanding of likeliness then. isn't that derived from the assumption that life is generally very unlikely. circular reasoning fused into a single word! if life is so unlikely sure then it won't repeat it's success story somewhere else. i would agree, that's how i thought about...

seriously i don't see how intelligent life could be unlikely, given the amount of infinity out there. and even technology that allows to a) locate us b) get here c) "in reasonable time" only seems unlikely if seen through our current understanding of how things work. that's the same poor...

pfft alien propaganda. they come here with their superhuman skills and want to rule us in secrecy. too bad rulers get all of our attention.

hm, maybe just make sure they have to make collective decisions, such as wether to hunt in the north or in the south. have the environment change alot. maybe stories can be communicated in sign language or grunting, but any reasoning requires operators.

i haven't read this thread so dunno if this came up already, but there is a chance that more than a certain time and a certain number of people are required, to force them, to develop language. an analogy is the development of writing. writing came up with the higher degree of organisation of...

my last.fm account has more postrock than i can stand, it's often boring, but sometimes i like a track, or maybe i'm just in the mood: administration shock him - II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXV5O1RRjCM

this is probably instrumental stoner or desert or something ... but occasionally there are subtle postrock sections in it i really enjoy both albums of husky, quite tripping http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDOMlGvx8so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orBqzExC_zs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSh3_SUASYc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSOgWScc-dg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIJV5zuyoSY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsNrXg4xsmE and something slightly different http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc5icEFHCN4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_3_2RgwnHc

the transcended witness (that which deserves to be called "observer") (that which begins to witness dreamless deep sleep) is a part of the ego. it's created from the mind, that's why the mind has to meditate so hard to create it, and you can see it in brain-scans as an organic reorganisation. it...

@Da Blob actually Me correlates with It, in that both are third person. when i ask you: do you hurt me? then i picture: 'you hurting me' - that's like picturing: 'you hurting the It which i have named 'me'. I AM looking at THIS 'me' in imagination or memory. Me is third person, just...

slow stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj2BGUODlWY sort of postrock, but mixed with metal (straight post rock gets boring quickly) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGritfe6fCU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnUGs4vZQ10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSOX7a7UdpA

two tracks that have a 4 star rating in my collection (goes to 5, 3 is great) .. albeit my ratings depend a lot on my mood at the time the good cop bad cop technique: noisy, then calm, then noisy again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2bo2oz3JnM beautiful, long, building up continuously, bit...

resonates a lot with me. albeit i'm not the radical DP'er but shizoid/eros-phobic nevertheless. i'm like hardwired to be looking for the objective view on the self - actually the transcended view, but before i understood that, i often misinterpreted it, and hoped to find a literally objective...

2 centimeters. then again i might just be lying about those. 165 is nicer that 163.

the day he realized, that the url can be manipulated at will now i need a way to fast forward this video :smoker: btw i have honestly improved to 65 wpm ... (but with 5 typos, still it's good to know that i can move my hands so fast, it has a lot to do with really trying hard, it just feels...

for example this video goes into it from the neuroscience perspective. common sense observation (reverse engineering) of life must bring everyone to the same conclusion. look at antisocial bums who drink beer together, while arguing about shit, as if they hate each other, yet they don't choose...

i'm (only) slightly faster if i do it in my own language first try german second try german

the finger-coordination makes the mistakes. has to do with timing more, than with spacial coordination. i mean, coordination happens in time, if timing is distorted, than the distance of a moving finger ist miscalculated. another type of error happens in my unconscious routine, like i see "to"...

hm, i trying to say something, but my poor english becomes a problem with a subtle topic like this. i mean in reading what exactly you say. anyhow, for the most part my mind is probably an echo of my main man adyashanti, or my own inner teacher = that wisdom, that i keep rejecting. actually...

i'm obviously just speculating around. i'm wondering what effect hemi-sync could have, not the crazy OBE type of binaurals, but the ones that ought to achieve a concentrated state of mind, for "learning" or so. hemi-sync implies synchronisation of brain hemispheres. that could help with feeling...

the spiritual process of waking up ("i'm in this world, not off this world") has so much parallels with depersonalisation, that i would assume, the wisdom traditions around waking up (meditation, but also how to think about one self) are equally suited to guide through de-personalisation. i'm...

lol, k, last time i did that :D and i'm astonished again, because i felt like i was really slow this time ... apparently my sense of speed isn't reliable ...

well, that is interesting: i did it again, without hasten, without holding my breath, like i would usually type, when i type what is on my mind and making somewhat sure i won't make any mistakes, expecting to be much slower, but i was exactly as fast: wait, no there IS a difference, just not in...

guns are for kids only. and collectors (who don't need munition, who like those classical models, they adored in their childhood) shooting is fun, but obsessing over new models, that are both designed and actually used to kill ... humans ... in the real world, in the presence, probably at the...

:smoker: enjoying my sensotardedness

is he more like mark wahlberg (Fe dom, probably ESFj) or will smith (enfp) "theoretical=N" = i disagree, theoretical might imply T though "understands my metaphors=N" = i disagree, Si is particularly good at metaphors (unless, lemme see some of you metaphors, they might be N-specific)...

if in your dream of the world there is no use for me, than your dream is of no use to me. you have just dreamed up a super villain.

what are yours?

@Dapper Dan well its quite ironic to blame sensor hate on Si! implying a generally false understanding of functions, which is itself more likely the general cause of sensor hate. i mean we hate theses people (the ones we hate) for 1000 reasons, some of which are good, but we think of these...

more a question of how often they would stop to notice them. same for avatars

all 4-letter-code test dichotomy perceivers are irrationalits at heart. bookish rationalists have fucked up the type descriptions, though, making the intp into a rationalist. i don't know about language, but rocks + avatar make you credible as irrationalist. *disappears from the scene, as 20...

lol i just had a daydream like that, today. should have recorded that. epic shit. :smoker: to the thread subject: i'm not sure? i sometimes copy themes of conversation from one conversation to the next, but then i forget about it. like that guy asked me about how i feel about 2012 and i felt...

the "choir boy" theme is an interesting projection, i just have to give that back to you, but now i will leave you alone.

no tis sick, to assume that this has to do with hierarchy or power or a feeling of self-worth/status or whatever (extroverted bullshit principle) "outgrowing" implies to you, when it's about being alive and bringing each other to life, and life just happens to be growth (especially the...

people get boring, because your relationship with them is a total fake. most people meet through fake relationships, because they choose to be morons, instead of learning conceptually how being human really works and then adapting via that understanding. as i have told you, and i can see, i...

we have to fucking learn to use the organ of communion, that is in (y)our head, albeit slightly crippled. to do that, we have to acknowledge it's existence in the first place. so stop being so fucking sorry for your self: you do not lack the organ for communion, but your little personality...

bullshit. everyone is alone all the time, underneath. that's why we meet, stupid. the self-representation is a fictional entity in your skull, in meeting it's weight is balanced against what it's meeting with [the representation of "other"], your skull becomes the meeting. the meeting is...

i don't know what sort of developmental psychology they teach at universities. i am curious which part of that is bollocks in your mind. i would not be suspired if their versions of development are so dumbed down that they deserve that judgement. traditionally, all the good stuff in...

subjectivity does not reduce it's internal experience! reduction to subjectivity is extroversion, its what the introverted type, who mastered his territory, CAN do, when he WANTS to impress extraverts. (introversion is sometimes said to reduce the external object - we are not talking about that...

the introverted principle just wants to express his subjectivity, without wanting that to have another effect, beyond causing empathic resonance in the other person. he shares perspectives for their own sake. wants to grow his subject, wants to share to growth with others. the extroverted...

actually introversion is a synonym for subjectivity, meaning for accepting one's nature! the extreme need to stay away from either others or our own sensitive core, is not a part of our introversion, it's a part of our extroversion, it's a re-action within extroverted logic, against extroverted...

me too :herzen02: but were not allowed to say that, when christians are around

not good enough. god was telling you, through your thoughts, that there is a danger to your brother's live. you should remove that top bunk from it's dangerous position and save your brother's life from an accident, when the next minor earth quake hits or a particularly heavy train goes through...
