Morgoth, aren't you supposed to have been exiled from the world into the void? How did you return? Did you return through the door of night? is it almost time for Dagor Dagorath? in 2012, perhaps :)

Good point. That didn't occur to when I wrote the post :). The second part of my question was: why is it that the ability for electromagnetic radiation to travel through objects improves whether the wavelength increases or decreases. It's almost like the ability for electromagnetic radiation to...

http://www.optics.arizona.edu/Nofziger/UNVR195a/Class12/EMspectrum1.gif Why is it that the range of visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum cannot travel through objects, even though other forms of electromagntic radiation (both of a smaller and a larger wavelength (which i think is kind...

It would equally difficult to explain how you could be born into a family that, because of their genes, are all sensors, yet you're intuitive through your genes despite that fact.

My understanding is that the tests were only asking for the validity of the aruments. An argument is valid if the premises and the conclusion are related in such a way that if the premises were true, the conclusion would be undeniable. That means that you have to ignore the specific meaning of...

Here's a thought experiment, and perhaps a way to begin answering the question. Suppose there are two identical twins, child A and child B, who are separated at birth. Child A is adopted by a family living in country Y, while child B is adopted by a family living in country Z. Countries Y and Z...

That sounds perfectly reasonable, rupert. Maybe we can get some more people interested in a lingtuistics sub. Good point :) Do you think you could explain the difference between labiodental and dentolabial? That could be among the first topics to be discussed in the new sub.

#include <iostream> using namespace std; string GoodAnswer("One of the worst things that could happen in a democracy is for people to stop believing that their voice can make a difference. "); void main() { cout << GoodAnswer; }

i'll take that as a no, then, shall I? I guess nobody's interested in linguistics...

A little while ago, I was going to start a thread relating to linguistics (I can't remember the specific topic at the moment), and I noticed the distinct lack of a linguistics (sub-) forum. To that end, I propound that a linguistics forum, or sub-forum, be added. In this forum things such as...

snide? what gives you the impression that i'm being snide? if I've offended you in some way, i appologize. I assure you that wasn't my intention. maybe you could give me an example of where i've been snide (?)

Right, but in the same second it takes to identify a decision as superficial, you could just make the decision because it's so superficial. People in authority need to make larger, more important decisions, otherwise their importance becomes negligible. If they were restricted to making small...

That's a good point, but where do you draw the line? which decisions are superficial enough to let other people make them? You would essentially have to be aware of all of the decisions so you could make that assessment, but if you're going to that amount of trouble you might as well make the...

There are so many things that are wrong with this post. Firstly, people in authority are just ordinary people with agendas. They don't have more privileged access to knowledge about the right course of action than anyone else. With you're line of reasoning, the nazi party was justified in their...

Your score is 3Your score for Authority is LOW Your score for Self-sufficiency is LOW Your score for Superiority is LOW Your score for Exhibitionism is LOW Your score for Exploitativeness is LOW Your score for Vanity is MEDIUM Your score for Entitlement is LOW Not too bad. Although, low...

If it's not too much trouble, could you explain your reasoning, please? I'm not quite sure I understand how you arrived at that conclusion. I agree. His expression and mannerisms seem kind of contrived. Did you watch both videos? there's a second video wrapped in the spoiler. He seems much...

another to type: Alexander Arguelles My guess would be: INTJ. YouTube- Paradigms of Language Learning Maybe it's just me, but his expression and mannerisms look a little contrived. If that's not enough to get his type, there is a video of his daily routine in a slightly more...

Thanks. Actually, I wanted to see if it were possible to type the character that the actor is portraying. Do you think that ace ventura (if he really existed as is) would have the same type as Jim Carrey, himself? I doubt that's how he normally behaves :) edit: I stand corrected: Jim Carrey...

That's an interesting method. I'll have to try it out, if i can figure out how to :) I'm interested how you would type ace ventura in the following clip using your method, if you would be so kind as to demonstrate it: YouTube- ace ventura - hit the lights and, if it's not too much trouble, of...

Do your sensory neurons a favour by listening to this music: x-ray dog - The Sorcerer: x-ray dog - Here Comes The King: x-ray dog - Time Will Tell: x-ray dog - Acts Of Courage: x-ray dog - The Odyssey: x-ray dog - Dethroned: Immediate Music - Serenata: Immediate Music - Blasphemy:

I hate both intolerant, and intolerable people.

If all of these things are to be called knowledge, then they must all have something in common to gain that same description. That thing which they all have in common might be called knowledge, do you disagree? So, the question becomes what do all of these types of memory have in common? So...

Thanks for the reply, your input is very much appreciated. Yea, i started my studies in philosophy with the differences between dualism and physicalism. I guess there's still a lot more I could learn about physicalism. Do you know of any websites that describe how we acquire knowledge according...

Thanks for the reply, i'll have a look at some of his work. Is memory not knowledge? In terms of how information is stored in the brain, is there a difference? I would be very interested in hearing (or at least reading) the distinction, if there truly is one. Thanks, i'll keep that in mind...

I've been reading some old philosophical texts about epistemology (particularly Plato's dialogues, and John Locke's essay concerning human understanding), and I was wondering what modern neuroscience has to say about knowledge. Essentially, what I would like to find out about is how we learn...

Suppose that a child is taken at birth and raised in a dark room with no social contact. Will this child, upon being released as an adult, inherently possess the required skills to engage someone in conversation? Under these conditions, would the child's personality still develop in such a way...

Hi, can you tell me what "Gud er en illussion og voksne mennesker med usynlige venner burde... Blive voksne." means? it's driving me insane :). So far I've got "God is an illusion and adults with imaginary friends should grow up" is that right?

Welcome to the real world.

Welcome to the real world. You've been living in a dream world, Anamalech.

yes, it is.

the question's in the title. does anyone know the answer?

I guess i'm really just hoping to find a job that pays more than I currently get at mcdonald's :) Washing dishes sounds ok, i'll have to look into that.

I was pretty much joking about these three: "low-skilled (i'm practically retarded :) )(this one not so much), decently paid, not requiring past experience, not requiring high motivation." But i'm pretty much unwavering on the "minimal people contact" point. Brilliant! I should try this one...

Alrighty, I need to find a job with minimal 'people contact', low-skilled (i'm practically retarded :) ), decently paid, not requiring past experience, not requiring high motivation. any ideas?

- Being John Malkovich - the matrix - i, robot

wow, am i the only one who actually enjoyed the plot? I guess first of all, it deals with the nature of human consciousness, and identity. And I kind of like the whole spiritual vs scientific development thing going on there. Also there was a bit there that reminded me of early human...

I once went into a small door that i found in my office and ended up in John Malkovich's head. Then after 15 minutes, i re-appeared near the New Jersey Turnpike, which was kind of annoying since I live on the other side of the world, and had to spend 20 hours on a plane.

having a domain name that long kind of defeats the point of domain names; it might be easier in that case to just remember: 64.57.208.202, and type that instead :)

hi, I'm not an expert at mbti by any means, but I think the introverted/extraverted dichotomy has more to do with whether we are energized more by the external world, or the internal world; that is, which one we prefer. This thread has more details, and is probably more accurate than what I've...

minimal groups, ftw.

actually, I was just joking about the dreaming thing, but the rest of my post is a genuine response to your 3D hologram idea. Although, If you are dreaming than there are no limits to what you can see and do. In regards to your other question, I don't think there's anything you can really do...

I would probably start out with something like "This is not a dream, Saeros; I am you and you are me." Then, slightly confusticated, present me would say something like "Wait a minute, Doc. Ah… Are you telling me that you built a time machine… out of a DeLorean?" Then I would probably mention...

:eek: I didn't even realise there was an arcade. I have been seriously deprived of my right to play games :( I shall investigate immediately :)

You're assuming that this isn't all an elaborate dream? you could be in the matrix. Maybe I don't really exist, and I'm just a part of your unconscious mind that wants to wake up. Open your eyes to the reality of the situation, you're a brain in a vat. Anyway, I don't think that people going...

Do you not understand that while we bicker amongst ourselves, Sauron's power grows? None can escape it! You'll all be destroyed!

Good morrow. I bid thee welcome, good sir. Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo.

Interestingly, ENTJ shadow processes are also the same as INTP primary processes, as well as INTP shadow processes being the same as ENTJ primary processes. Why do you think that is?
