I might be a little old school when it comes to rock music:

Well, that was the definition of heat that I was given in school - but some further inquiry has certainly proven me incorrect. The definition that seems most prevalent on the web is that heat means energy transfer. http://physics.about.com/od/glossary/g/heat.htm

Heat is the amount of energy per particle in a system - it's the sum of all the energy, and every particle above absolute zero has energy. Temperature is the average heat in a system, so add the energy of each particle and then divide by the number of particles Heat can travel as light -...

you can't troll w/out bieng homopphobic LOOLLLLLLLLOLLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL how gay

wrong

As conducive as the forum itself is to learning, what it has done the most for me is act as a stepping stone for pursuing greater knowledge in certain areas. I've done a lot of reading about physics, biology, robotics/transhumanism and philosophy (mainly existentialism and religious stuff) that...

My own shitter? Pants off. Public shitter? Ankles.

wtf my post got blocked how gay lol fuck ya'll

ya'll suck

lol

It's a long, angsty, and ultimately uninteresting story.

I generally go to bed around midnight, but often don't get to sleep until 1-2 a.m. (the pesky thinking keeps me awake) and wake up at 5:30 a.m. I've had terrible insomnia since I quit drinking. I'll do this for about two weeks, then sleep for about 14+ hours once it catches up to me.

Analyzing literature serves the purpose of teaching one how to comprehend what they are reading. It's easy to read words, but to derive meaning from them is something else. Some literature is very subtle and difficult to understand, so learning how to make sense of it will better equip one for...

If confusion is the first step to knowledge, I must be a genius. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion. Today, if you are not confused, you are just not thinking clearly. If I look confused it's because I'm thinking The mere attempt to examine my own confusion would consume...

As far as the quick sub-types I came up with, I hate to think of them as being too distinct or quantized, but that each of them would have a spectrum and possibly even their own subtype (which would increase the complexity of a type by several orders of magnitude). Someones specific type would...

I would make subtypes based on the development of other functions - in the case of INTP's, Ni, Se, Fi, Te, and maybe Si and Fe. I have a difficult time accepting the idea of the shadow function etc because so many people don't tend to adhere to that paradigm. I know for me I would say my order...

I think people often mistake apathy and individualism - a lot of people seem to think that 'not caring' means they are being rebellious, or going against the grain of mainstream culture. If there is one thing worse then apathy it's probably schadenfreude, which a lot of people also seem to think...

I think a good way to sum up the Copernican principle is to say that: We used to think the earth was the center of the universe, then we discovered it orbits the sun. Then we thought the sun was the center of the universe, then we discovered it was way off in one of the 'suburbs' of our galaxy...

I usually don't say this unless it's the literal truth, but that Joe Chemo avatar made me "lol".

or INTJ's with ADD being mistyped at INTP's... I have a lot of OCD (and I strongly suspect Tourettes) tendencies and ticks, but being neat has certainly never been one of them - in fact, I almost have an obsession about needing to be surrounded by chaos (extreme neatness and order bothers me...

I belong here. In a world that makes no sense. (Shameless self promotion, but there is also a reason I created this...)

How immoral of them!

I'd put myself at probably around 2 or 3. Probably about 90% of the posts I read I either never post any replies or I delete what I was going to say before posting it because I don't think anyone would really give two shits what I have to say. I'll stick with what I do best - debating with...

The dream world, I would say, is a world where free will truly exists. There is no deterministic coherency in the dream world, because nothing is required to happen sequentially. That being said, I don't think the dream world exists anywhere other than within ourselves, and cannot exist in any...

The dream world is necessarily dependent on the waking world, because the dream world can only manifest within the confines of what we already know - unlike the perception of Gods capabilities, information or knowledge cannot be willed or created into existence by humans. Our brains can only...

Second this. I think critical thinking, understanding (instead of just memorization) and good reasoning skills should be top priority. Most education is giving people knowledge, but not telling them what to do with it or how to use it. Being social primates, things like the golden rule are...

Are Hox genes usually considered part of the "junk" DNA though? I admit I haven't done too much reading about the "junk" DNA, but don't expressor genes (like Hox genes) usually code for something that affects the way other genes are expressed (ie methylation) - the point being, expressor genes...

I suppose my sample size is a bit small - I've only seen Death Note and Cowboy Bebop - but I've seen snippets of episodes and pictures and heard people talking about other shows, and along with the two that I've seen, I'm with IB; I don't really get the attraction (the stories were interesting...

Interesting article I just came upon (and decided, while interesting, didn't warrant it's own thread). http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20091024/hl_time/08599193175700

I often use the Socratic method when debating in real life. This is more because I don't have the internets vast resources to cite within my own arguments like I do here, but also watching people convince themselves that their initial stance was incorrect (or at least not backed by any solid...

Anyone that put's X's in their type because they think they're both, or lower case letters because that function is "a low percent" on the tests for them, or people who consistently think that "P" and "J" is it's own function axis and not simply an indicator of which axis is extroverted and...

It sometimes seems like I'm the only one on this forum that doesn't care much for anime... I don't hate it - the stories are creative and intriguing, but I just can't get past the stupid looking animation and it seems like every one of them (at least that I've seen) has at least one character...

Would it be schadenfreude if I wanted to see my clone enduring mental anguish and physical harm? I could give them every bit of pain I think I deserve!

The problem is, I just don't find myself all that attractive. If I were gay, I'd have standards much higher then myself. I don't know if I could bang myself just for the novelty of banging myself. I'd have to take myself out to dinner and show myself some respect first - I'm not just going to...

Anybody who masturbates is basically getting a hand job from themselves, so how would banging yourself be any different? What if the clone was a 12 year old version of yourself, would it be wrong to molest yourself? I don't think I could bang myself, because I would probably somehow get into...

Digging for sympathy is not going to make yourself feel better, it's only going to make you more dependent on sympathy. I don't think there is anything anyone can say that will make you feel better - only make you feel like you have company in your misery.

Damn, I was having fun discussing things on a meaningless level of abstraction (plus we were talking about clubs, which was the purpose of the club until it got merged with the purposeless club)!

Re: The Club Hence the word "if" - a purely hypothetical question. But, to go along with the premises, if a club exists, does it not contain itself as a whole, or is it only existing as a sum of it's parts? Is the term "progressive multifocal luekoencephalitis" only a line of letters, and not...

Yoga is one of the least relaxing things I've ever tried...

I don't even remember taking this test, but it sounds about right.

Re: The Club If this club is the set of all clubs, does it contain itself within itself? Should we have a club that's the club of all non-existent clubs? If we have a club that can do anything that all other clubs do, then can it also do what itself does? If a club contains all non-existent...

Introverted (I) 100% Extraverted (E) 0% Intuitive (N) 82% Sensing (S) 18% Thinking (T) 95% Feeling (F) 5% Perceiving (P) 91% Judging (J) 9% I guess that makes me ITPN. I also think the idea of sub-groups is a good idea (and one of those things that I've constantly thought about getting...

Was just sort of thinking about this today, and I wonder if there is some sort of evolution that happens within a single organism on a cellular basis. Most people know about the bad transcription errors in cells that lead to cancer, but what about good ones? If a cell within our body had some...

Resurrecting this thread for no apparent purpose.

This pretty much sums up what I think. Most television show writers aren't making a character based on an MBTI type, and the character has to fit the template of a television show, ie stuff has to be happening constantly. To say that a television character isn't realistic is like saying the...

I've always been good at thinking of things on a very holistic model, thinking of all the interconnections of constituent parts, all the moving pieces working together to make a greater whole, but everyday experience is such a reduced view of existence. To me, science has allowed me a much...
