Cheer up Zero! I can't speak for all these other soulless INTPs but I appreciate you.

I might as well be quoting myself because this is exactly where I'm at. I've considered this type of problem very carefully and would be happy to explain to you anytime.

What did she think about the idea that causality was unprovable? Causality in the real world, not counting abstract constructs. (Of course, I'm just leaving myself wide open there for the suggestion that 'reality' is a construct. But no one really wants to discuss that anyway)

Hey, you're the guy who his own name in his avatar.

I think I might actually check out personalitycafe. To see what annoys you guys so much.

Nice avatar. Who is it?

What about joy? Do you distinguish any sort of higher order of happiness?

Here is some truly superb stuff. Take 5 minutes out of your day and listen to it. The Schnozzola can do drama too. http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/September_Song/21311716 http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/As_Time_Goes_By/185006

My intuition says you'd be surprised what the average guy could handle.

I did indeed. I am transitioning.

Oneironaut is really an excellent word.

I was really confused and thought here was another nascent meme, to greet newcomers with Yeah! Toast!. But then I looked at his name. Okay. Oh, welcome.

I'm in high school, and I don't study. I'm guessing I'm not the only one here. I do well on tests, and I do most of my homework, but I don't need to study much to do well on tests.

Re: Expanding my music collection. Any sugestions? I listen to Pandora a lot, but also use other online music recommendation services. Try these: http://last.fm http://slacker.com http://grooveshark.com Oh, and this is my last.fm profile. http://www.last.fm/user/nickescalona

I heard Europa Universalis III was pretty weak but I haven't tried it. EU II is where it's at.

Nice point, Vrecknidj.

This forum is a little problematic for me. I get fixated on any forum I'm signed up for. I have to read (or at least glance at) every single new post. If the forum is too large to make this practical, I'll read everything in a well-defined subset of the larger forum (as, one particular...

My dad's an INTP too, but he finds occasion to accuse me of "analysis paralysis" relatively often. ^_^

Combat lasers impractical? Do tell!

I sorta understand what you're saying, but I'm sadly not up on the economics lingo. Actually, I do understand what you're saying, yet I'm not drawing the connection between that and my question.

Yeah. There's pretty much no modern personal computer (incl. Windows, Mac, Linux, incl. fingerprint-scanners on laptops, etc. etc. not incl. super secret government computers) that cannot be cracked so long as you have physical access to it.

Awwwwww.

That is really pretty cool, RT.

This reminds me - I don't know if the Unabomber was an INTP, but he very well could have been. That sort of thing is in our nature.

I often use "one," and sometimes "he" as the standard pronoun for indeterminate gender (instead of, for example, he/she). Because it's less disruptive to the sentence and fits with practice in other languages.

Hi Kidege! Yeah, I'm new.

Younger brother, or older brother? Heheheh, I know what you mean re. philosophy. For everyone else, they have to come up with their own ideas, but I get to copy down from the textbook that is the body of Catholic teaching. :coverlaugh: It's not quite that easy, but yeah. I do think I could get...

Well, I'm going off of the OED. And Merriam-Webster's is slightly looser in definition, but it's still closer to the OED's thing than how we were using it here. Going off of the OP's general intention... it seems that selfishness is actually what we're talking about, rather than mere...

It's nice; definitely fits your name too.

That's interesting. As for me, I was referring mostly to my intellectual interests (physics, philosophy, comp. sci.). Did you have a family member or other influential person who you could always bounce ideas off of and have really long theoretical or philosophical conversations with? I suspect...

Arrives the Provider of Clarity !! :paladin: Guys, be precise with your definitions. Being selfish doesn't mean just caring about yourself. It means caring about yourself to the exclusion of all others. So no, not everyone is selfish, and selfishness is always bad, because a selfish act is...

Maybe I'm way off on this, but perhaps scientist:engineer is like INTP:INTJ.

all right here goes, from memory. william wallace joan of arc saladin genghis khan barbarossa attila the hun montezuma el cid conquerors (uh... frig i forgot all of them :D) and then there's all the player-created stuff. :cool: man that's such a great game

Heh, that INTJ Central FAQ is pretty excellent.

heh. I like changing my avatar around so it's not always the same, but at the same time I think that picture is pretty closely associated with me, so I mess around with it while leaving it recognizable.

Language has connotation and stereotypes, guys. Changing terminology only postpones the 'problem,' not eliminates it. :P

I'll respect your wishes and not refer to you by 'he' nor 'she', though I don't expect I'll use 'it' either. Having to refer to someone in such a manner doesn't come up all that often in this setting anyway. Hurrah for mutual tolerance

Missing noun? I am not sure what you mean. I'm also not sure if this is the rhetorical you or if you're talking to me, or someone else.

........ that's horrible. :(

One hilarious mistake in my psychology textbook implies that random sampling automatically gives you representative samples. Absolute nonsense, of course: random samples have no particular tendency to be representative or non-representative. Depending on how you arbitrarily designate...

Well, right. I don't see the distinction. What's an example of something you'd call incorrect usage of "ignorant"?

Curious avatar. Has it any particular significance?

Yes. We believe that human nature is fundamentally good, but has been corrupted. Thus humans naturally have both good and evil tendencies. Which makes sense, considering the empirical reality of humans naturally having both good and evil tendencies. That empirical reality is what I was referring...

Ignorant being used incorrectly? Enlighten me! I go by the definition "destitute of knowledge" and I thought the rest of the world did too.

I'm glad you've decided to stick around! I'm new.

all opinions besides mine are worthless This sounds 100% like something I could say in a couple years (senior in H.S. ATM), down to the letter. :phear:

Age of Empires II! yeah, I totally called it you guys

I wouldn't overgeneralize here. I, for example, have way more respect for authority than most people I know. Perhaps I'm a minority among INTPs, but it is what it is. :king-twitter:

:D RT
