    A dark room

    Heard of it? If you haven't already, play it. Mesmerizing experience. Unfortunately can't say anything you won't experience yourself anyway in the first half hour. Perhaps a little slow at first, but so cool. EDIT: there's a web (free) version and iOS (cheap) version, and I think the iOS is...

    How the fuck do I deal with existential crisis? Is it Autism? "Reality" is exhausting

    Writing all that out might be helpful for you, but if you want help from this (or any) forum condense it to four first paragraph lengths AT MOST and post it in the psychology (or perhaps philosophy) section. Then you should get a decent number of members reading it. Until then.... TL;DR

    Just kinda curious. If you were interviewed, what was your experience? Mine was... unpleasant. And I looked like a bit of an idiot :D.

    the overly repetitive african names thread

    If this was any other forum, this thread would have ended so so differently... I mean, who would guess we we would actually start writing repetitive african names and then have a somewhat mature discussion about racism! bhumdre oubou doubou akwe duru I love you guys. Sometimes.

    The Blind Brain Hypothesis

    Interesting, to say the very least. I was not aware about a few of the facts and ideas in there. The whole thing actually seemed very reasonable, quite believable if you ask me, but it seems unclear to me why the information horizon provides any evidence for the blind brain hypothesis; why all...

    Why can we use mathematics to describe physical phenomena?

    Oh come on Kuu, surely a forum of INTPites can pull off a basic popularization of some aspects of QM - especially if Archie chimes in ;)

    Why can we use mathematics to describe physical phenomena?

    Cog: you're wrong. QM is a precise description of a probabilistic system. And it doesn't take any kind of crazy to get a fairly good grasp on it. But wait, let's take a step back. I said precise. All of physics makes certain assumptions. Precise under those assumptions. In fact however, much...

    Website I am making

    All the things you guys have mentioned I thought about. But tbh it's just a coming soon page so I didn't think it was that important. For the final site I shall be more attentive to this sort of thing. Also, how well it displays depends on your screen (which it shouldn't, but I'm saying it's not...

    Website I am making

    So, I pulled together this coming soon page in a couple of hours (with the help of a template which I did modify a bit though) and I wanted to know what you guys thought. I'll post the finished website here too when I'm done with it. Quite a bit of work went into the background photo. That logo...

    Overvaluation of being well rounded

    Quite trivially there's a narrow/deep dichotomy in how you'll live your life. Quite trivially the school system is one of the biggest pieces of shit you'll ever encounter. This doesn't imply that being well-rounded is a bad thing, let alone over-valued. For starters, simply think about how few...

    What are feelers good at?

    They don't all make good teachers. Just that they can. As thinkers can, to be fair, though I do think (smart) feelers may have an edge at teaching (but not as much at lecturing).
  21. Coolydudey

    What are feelers good at?

    Ok, I might have been a little grumpy after waking up at 5 in the morning. Feelers are good at feeling shit. Art for example. They can make great teachers, even lecturers. All sorts of crap.

    What are feelers good at?

    I'm not gonna tell you what to do with your life. Either you have something you're passionate about and you want to do or you don't. And if only science is a great achievement in your mind then I suggest you try to expand your worldview a little.
  23. Coolydudey

    What are feelers good at?

    Plenty of feelers have gone on to do great things, and feelers have also done great things not achievable by thinkers (if perhaps only much appreciable by other feelers).

    Sorry for making another thread like this

    Math and psychology are awesome. Deep down, you should know what, if anything, you find interesting enough to stick with.

    There is in the middle a slightly different section, in particular a climax which is a cool theme.

    What's your purpose?

    Congrats on your 5000th post! A professional INTP is always a great addition to an INTP forum... Anyway, purpose? To enjoy life fundamentally. And maybe something to do with love? Being a nihilist, I don't beleive in a sort of inherent purpose, and don't have any particular reason to choose one...

    "Being rich isn't about how much you have, but how much you can give."

    Sorry I was a bit flaming at some point, was a bit over-excited. Can we please drop the polemic/derogatory attitude, both of us? There's no reason for pointless conflict when we can argue stuff perfectly well without it... Well it's not silly of you but it's just kind of outside the point of...

    Can we ever stop putting on an act all of the time?

    Yes. :p Some people make it the point of their lives. Equally some people make it the point of their lives to portray certain personas (well, sort of, you know what I mean). But if you're a certain sort of person, it's possible to become completely relaxed around a very very good friend you...

    "Being rich isn't about how much you have, but how much you can give."

    Nice, particularly the bolded bit. I do not think I have anything else to add to this great opinion.

    "Being rich isn't about how much you have, but how much you can give."

    Ah but what if you're not living comfortably but giving away money you could live more comfortably with? Or making an active effort to make a difference? Not a common occurrence though, I must agree, you make a good point.

    "Being rich isn't about how much you have, but how much you can give."

    Ok, sorry to have misinterpreted your post (I was slightly scared it might happen), but I'm still then not quite sure what you're getting at - though I can see it's a good point. EDIT Oh, I think I see. You're saying that giving away wealth and helping people in that way is unimportant because...
  46. Coolydudey

    "Being rich isn't about how much you have, but how much you can give."

    Indeed, but again, you're talking reality. I think the more interesting argument is the one about having to give vs not having in the first place, as a choice. Clearly the person who has to give makes a larger individual contribution (if he so chooses), but as long as they both make similar...
  47. Coolydudey

    "Being rich isn't about how much you have, but how much you can give."

    Not to the whole post - but to the bit "the rich try to signal that they are not middle class by spending". For the rest I expected the reader to fill in the gaps (it's clearly a bit sweeping anyway), cause I wanted to focus on that specific sentiment in the first place, it being relevant...

    "Being rich isn't about how much you have, but how much you can give."

    That's not what I'm trying to say though, being a nihilist (I mean I'm not trying to promote this point of view. I see it as a purely psychological thing). And of course any quote like this is a generalisation - but anyway, we were arguing about something else fundamentally. And in your next...

    Any other members resurrected from the dead?

    Dunno, occasionally remember it. I have a slight psychological weakness towards feeling mature, so that makes me occasionally point out how stupid I was. Equally I have some vague fondness of that child persona, and the rhyme of the username... Looking back I feel my posts were immature...

    "Being rich isn't about how much you have, but how much you can give."

    I was simply showing by counter-example that your sweeping statement was just that - sweeping. I could have given other counter-examples of people in different social classes or whatever, but I simply felt that one to be the most pertinent. Further analysis as to what the truth is was left to...
