Me? I suffer when I'm depressed.

Do you guys ever stop thinking? Sometimes.

I'm guessing that you know things about who you were five years ago that have given you insights about errors in judgment you made back then. Also, I'm guessing that some of your interests today are different from what they were five years ago. Five years from now, the same thing will be true...

Just keep watching Danger 5 until your head explodes.

I'm a 48-year-old INTP, my wife is a 50-year-old INFP, we've been married since I was 21 and she was 23. It's possible.

At least 10. I'm presently teaching 4 courses, and they're all in various stages of work. This also means I'm always reading, grading and planning. I'm working on three books. I'm keeping the accounting/financial records for three adjunct teacher unions. I'm working on planning for a move...

From what (little) I understand, gravity and matter have been around almost as long as the universe has, and, for however much time elapsed between t=0 and their appearance, their existence was likely implicit in what came before them. So, I don't know that time is a consequence of matter and...

This makes sense, actually. There's no reason to suppose that quantum entanglement effects would be restricted to pairs of objects happening to be correlated in someone else's timestream.

If I were interested in transportation as a career, I'd get involved with the autonomous vehicles side of things and be one of the people who will make a fortune on self-driving trucks that will come to pass within the next generation.

Scott Peck -- "Human nature is to wet your pants."

should [shoo d] auxiliary verb 1. simple past tense of shall. 2. (used to express condition): Were he to arrive, I should be pleased. 3. must; ought (used to indicate duty, propriety, or expediency): You should not do that. 4. would (used to make a statement less direct or blunt): I...

Of course. And, naturally, I'm being honest about this right now. :)

More education leads to higher income. Higher income leads to greater consumption. Greater consumption leads to greater waste. Greater waste is bad. Therefore more education is bad. :)

Have you misunderstood the scales of sizes and durations involved here?

There have been many helpful posts here. Let me add a little bit. Like a couple others here, I'm in the "old" category. I remember, a long, long time ago, at 17, realizing that I was so radically different from who I had been at 12 that I anticipated that at 22 I'd look back at 17 and feel the...

Most universities in the United States have separate academic units and often those units are colleges. For example, at Western Michigan University, there is a College of Arts and Sciences, a College of Engineering, a College of Aviation, a College of Fine Arts, etc.

It's not wrong, but, given the realities of time and chaos, only a small portion will get accomplished.

If I were to give advice, it would be to work on this stuff first. Don't be in a rush, the world will still be here in a few years and you can get a degree then, if you want.

Start a religion.

Human beings are mammals with binocular vision, subject to Earth's gravity, the influence of the tides, etc., etc. In other words, we've evolved to perceive and respond to our environment. I'm not at all surprised that there might be features of that environment that are particularly likely to...

Re: What Gender Are You Internally? I'm surprised by this. There are quite a few other alternatives present in the vast array of human beings. At the very least... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3314712/ and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20014367 and...

I don't identify with any of the options in the poll.

No.

I have two sons (ages 21 and 26), they're both introverted NTs. My wife is an introverted NF. It's all good. But, to respond to the original post: I don't want any more, thanks.

When you say "more" what is your comparison? Yesterday? 100 years ago? The United States? The Pleistocene? Again, compared to when? Compared to what societies? Really? You're being honest about this?

I don't know you and so I can't say what's normal for you. But, being depressed isn't a normal state. It's not an uncommon one, unfortunately, but it's not normal (in the sense of psychologically healthy). The same is true of extreme mood swings. Most people won't be rich (a derivative of the...

Evolution isn't teleological. There's that word "try." As I just noted, evolution isn't teleological. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/teleology-biology/

Most? How many of them do you know?

My own high-school work consisted primarily as serving as a tutor. I spent about 15 years at a nearby private school (associated with both the military and a church) and offered my services to the students, paid for by their parents. I tutored mostly math, but sometimes other subjects. Over the...

I've tutored and taught high school students (in addition to other work in education) in the United States for about 20 years... In the various states in the United States, there are specific rules about what content must be taught in a course. This removes most of the autonomy from the...

If astral projection were possible, given 7 billion people, wouldn't there be more reports of it? It seems overwhelmingly likely that these sensations, themselves entirely valuable, phenomenologically speaking, are purely internal and reflective of brain activity. And, yes, I've experienced...

"They" who?

I currently spend the majority of my time around people who are exceptionally intelligent; sometimes I have to really work, mentally, to keep up with some of them. It's refreshing. This is much better than years ago when I spent most of my time around people who were, at best, of average...

As far as supplementary work, certainly Jung's other work, and probably Goethe will help. But, insofar as the other material he references throughout, I highly recommend having access to a decent Bible and whatever apocrypha you can get your hands on. For a nice collection in one work, I'd...

I'm fine with a future that has 10 billion people and only 500 million jobs, so long as societies transform and we disconnect income from employment. There are always solutions.

There's really no substitute for complete immersion. May I recommend Jung's An Answer to Job? In order to understand that rather short book, you'll need to spend a great deal of time researching other material. He explores vast expanses of religion, philosophy, literature, mythology, psychology...

Suffer from infirmities, probably.

Depends. What's the problem? How important is it? What hinges on its being solved?

Hopefully, we'll be able to put human heads on chimps or bonobos for the extra fun.

I don't know you. I can't really give you decent advice.

His 23-minute long TED talk is pretty good. http://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_science_can_show_what_s_right

Yes. I do too. We had the well replaced a couple years ago -- but, water issues are the bane of my existence. Yikes! Oh God. Agreed.

One of the reasons I end up in the fixes I end up in is that I ignore routine maintenance. I've gotten better, but, I've also spent so long ignoring things that there's a terrific backlog of things to go wrong...

Yeah. My house was built over 100 years ago. The former owners tended to fix things...very creatively. Agreed. Yeah, I know. You put it far better than I did. Thanks.

My wife (currently an INFP, once upon a time an XNFP; also, she's an aspie, so that's fun) tends to take everything personally. It's really, really tiring sometimes. Alas, when these sorts of things happen (and, I must add, that it feels like they happen to me), I tend to take them personally...

Ya know, I really like a fried egg on toasted rye, with just a hint of peanut butter on the toasted bread. (And yes, that's an intentional response.)
