MBTI is flawed. Does not translate to MBTI is wrong on every account. The implication here is there are better theories in psychology. There aren't. Psychology is weak in many ways. Not just weak, even psychologist will tell you its more art than science. Is it better to make lots of...

For me its back to the drawing board. Reinvent evolve make it work and then invariably crash and burn, and repeat. Its an exercise in and of it self.

Yes, this is kind of what most people seems to agree on. Even in real life, you can try to fit in, like I tried to. Never really worked. My problem was I never wanted to be weird. So I thought, "hey Ill do that thing everyone else does, because it seems to work". It works, but just for them.

I kind of think this is good advice, sort of comes down to how to apply this. But make sure you don't become the resident therapist. I kind of always nodded and listened, and then I realized I never say anything about myself. But ended up knowing everything about others.

Cool thanks. Yes, I was buying it for about 1 dollar, converting it in the 90s from my currency to dollar. That is more guess than calculation.

I think people always knew this. Its just words saying something very obvious. Whether someone calls it self regulation or autonomy of body etc...... Yes some basics of how signals travel through body and how we understand it has gone a long way. I think this is all correct type of knowledge...

I guess, not sure what this constitutes, but my explanation probably is poor, since what I am trying to describe is not something I ever made effort to describe in words. I suppose what I am describing is awareness of sorts, but I never really put effort into explaining how my eyes work to...

Do you by chance remember how much they cost? I want to compare the cost of comics in my country.

When I was a small child Obsessed with the future I didn't believe in fate I didn't believe in much of anything Now that I'm a weathered machine I'd give it all, I'd give everything To have you here to believe To believe in me Who could ever hold Skin so cold? Hiding flesh and wire Only half...

Yes. I guess, one way to explain things is this. I would for one say that the next thing I say should be taken with reserve. For instance when people say be in present moment. What is being in present moment is my subjective sense of self. My sense of self can actually be compromised in...

Maybe. I never really read on monism. My personal take on soul does come merely from experience, but the general gist of it is there more than meets the eye. Read "more than meets the eye" as I am not sure.

To make it clear we agree on semantics. I never used word supernatural. I consider soul a phenomena of universe. A natural thing. I do not claim to know whether this soul thing exists, as science. Its a belief only. So I was not actually saying I agree with dualism.

yes. Human experience is entirely true.

Spirit and physics do interact in my understanding. I think spirit does act purposefully. I don't actually think random constitutes real world phenomena. Its merely a math concept. I am not calling two substances. I would though say there is separate part of soul from the human body. Which is...

The easiest way I would define a soul from personal spiritual belief or rather what its not is "soul" is independent entity of our body, including emotions, mind, flesh, thoughts etc. The human body merely houses the soul.

I just found the movie.

We have to find it. But I believe its there. We should not act like we know everything. Here is interesting movie about this. Just for fun, nothing serious.

OK I will try to explain my view on why philosophy breaks down with matter. Fundamentally matter is something we can perceive. So in physics everything having matter has to by default interact with other matter. Since the idea of soul has not qualifiers, ergo there are no actual parameters...

I would also point out that thinking can become addiction. It is basically a type of dissociation from feelings often times.

Yes the movie does say that. I am not sure, ergo don't exactly remember how much it conforms with what the book was about, because in the book he goes more in depth and bit philosophical, about humans and morality. Movies just cannot cover that level of detail in 2 hours. Movie was a caricature...

OK this made me laugh. I actually feel as though people feel attacked by my presence.

I tend to struggle initiating conversations. I just draw a blank. I have trouble having meaningful back and forth. I tend to have hard time knowing my audience. So when I speak to people I just say inappropriate stuff. I also am aware that I make for some reason people uncomfortable, not sure...

I think he was aiming to explain why compulsory service such as in Soviet Union was bad idea. You had to serve 2 years if you were a man. Heinlein described military service as voluntary duty, ergo you joined only if you made the choice yourself. He was very pro freedom. So he was not fascist...

I like running, swimming, reading, used to play lot of computer games, but not anymore.

Yeah, I tend to agree. Heinlein actually in his novel explains why individuality is important and went on to explain how the individual should view self sacrifice with war. Most people compare his view to fascism. I disagree with that judgment, but I don't actually agree with his painting of...

Yes. I know. Sometimes I forget.

I subscribe to the idea that emotions, intellect and awareness are necessary to be unified, but language of emotions and intellect and awareness in our minds are different. Its like having three different dimensions to your being that can have different intensity and quality to them, but make...

Movie Soldier 1998 Good B movie. The plot and philosophy simple to the point, but pretty deep ideas in the movie.

Generally 1 and 2 seem most easily relatable and the most time I spend in. When it comes to perceptual stuff I view things differently as others and others view them differently so that is given. Then I can see that culture and perception are often complex issue. On surface level easy thing...

I never felt like you are dumb. I think unique though process definitely applies. I also think a good thing about feeling dumb is that usually we feel this way when we are learning. A lot of people hate this feeling so much they avoid it, thus never learn. Personally I have lot of things where I...

Similar deal with. I use meditation. Took me a lot of time to get to a point where I can stop thinking. When I think or do something compulsive like overthinking I call it feeding the monster. Including learning. You just gotta feed da bitch if you know what I mean. Big brain problems. When...

I like Donald Duck comics when I was a kid. There were not many other comics around that I knew of anyhow.

I have a firm belief that once psychiatry world wide makes a move away from drugs approach to medicine we will have a new revolution in medicine. Personally I endorse herbs, and natural products, psychedelics and shit. I am afraid that lots of plants today are being destroyed due to...

I had sever intrusive thoughts. Violent and unspecified thoughts. I have had phobias my whole life. I overcame them over time. Some I still have. I have sever trust issues. I had sever paranoid thoughts. Overcame them. Not sure how. I have perceptual problems, I get overwhelmed. I have a...

Ok

The optics of dreams are part of the dream, but how the dream makes you feel is actually also important in relation to your ego. Ergo identity. It is important that dreams often are experiential wishes. They are your mind connecting with the otherwise dormant parts of the mind. They bring...

I had a major break, over the "if you are coerced its not free choice" I mean fuck this. My life is a lie. NAAAAAAAH. But how do I then know I made a free choice?

I think that is sad life. TO not experience love and connection that is sad. That being said nothing in that negates success. But I was actually asking a question. It was not rhetorical. Maybe your opinion differs.

You aren't your behavior. Generally I prefer building. But my brother was ISTP he liked destroying things. He liked pranking people. He liked slapstick humor and he liked screwing up. I think its important part of life. I think a lot of society sees this as negative, but unless you are doing...

I remember watching TV documentary about this guy. He was all alone. Had posters of Diana at home and magazines of here. Never married, never had kids, never drank, never did anything. He looked just like everyone else. He dressed well. He looked like everyday Joe. He was running a multimillion...

Actually here is few more considerations, because I kind of think its worth noting them. This said everything I know is pretty much internet study and general personal opinion to be taken as just that. I know nothing of you and your friend. But this was my first knee jerk consideration. Your...

Nothing in the post suggests he is bad person. I do think he could be labelled as ASDP. The question is where does his behavior stem from. Reckless behavior is quite common among people. I assume he is younger. Stealing and having no remorse is indicator that there is something wrong. Just...

Its interesting that not having sex with someones wife and not killing someone in mean insidious way is considered highest morals. Generally commendable, but is it really that revolutionary?

Its people thoughts. I dont think they are that fundamental.

I certainly had anxiety. Also my identity was kind of different. My experience completely shaped my perceptions and values differently. It screwed me attachment style. I feel no need to be part of groups, or heavy need to have friends or romantic partners. I was quite a loner most of my life...

Hard to say what works for you. We naturally experience things differently.

Yeah 4 elementary schools, and 6 high schools. I was actually depressed as a kid, had issues. But, until about this year I used to kind of think I am at fault. It took me a good year of self reflection to realize how screwed up my life was. Not complaining, just facts. Had come to realization...

Honestly I was in special ed classes. They thought I was retarded. No joke.

Sometimes I clam up when I think of too specific goals. I tend to think generally. But today people ask you nonsense questions like "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" vomit. No one said anything like this before. But what is interesting I have heard something from gifted researcher. What...
