Do you have to perform a miracle to become a saint?

Funny picture. quit discriminating against sensors! i'm pretty sure mbti was never created to promote hate :)

Yea, I probably got the memo, but i couldn't be bothered reading it. We should probably do something ambtious with the world, if we have control... nope, i've got nothin'. It's probably fine the way it is, anyway. I'm much more interested in solving the problems in the hypothetical world I've...

As IxtPians, we need to unite and come up with a plan to take over the... aww, stuff it, I'm too tired, let's do it later.

I was just wodering how mbti fits in with psycopathy and sociopathy :D What is your assessment of them in regards to Personality Type ? - Jack the Ripper - The Zodiac Killer - Charles Manson - Ted Bundy - Mary Ann Cotton - Belle Gunness - Aileen Wuornos - Dorothea Puente and of course...

As soon as you see what's going to happen, what's going to happen should also change. So, a psychic vision would be constantly changing. thus they would get trapped in a psychic vision 'loop', have a seizure and neither of them would show up. Of course this all depends on the rejection of the...

Yea, i guess i understand that. But what I meant is that humans don't like to think of themselves as irrational, or stupid. So someone who gets energised by extroversion but is socially inept might try to rationalize the eccentric behaviour by saying that they're an introvert and isolating...

It's quite possible that this post will only show my ignorance in mbti, but I was wondering if an underdeveloped Fe function can result in an extrovert thinking that they're an introvert. Based on the definition in this link: http://www.cognitiveprocesses.com/extravertedfeeling.html, it seems...

Are you planning on killing someone? I'm not sure it would be ethical to post suggestions to help you get away with it :)

Maybe this can be empirically verified if both an N and an S write a joke in this thread, so we can tell the difference.

Doesn't it say somewhere in the bible that people who don't believe in god, or believe in a different god, will be punished for all eternity? It sounds like he cares. Also, what kind of an egocentric being would demand that his creations worship him? That sounds much more like the request of a...

You're assuming that ants can think in the same way that we do? that's an interesting question for the saint: do ants have souls? is the soul responsible for thought, or is it the brain? If it's the brain that's responsible for thought, then here's an interesting tidbit: "An ant brain has...

Knowing that our reality is generated by our brain isn't really new. Descartes covers the problem in depth in his meditations in the 16th century CE. Plato writes about how our senses are unreliable in his dialogues, over 2,500 years ago. Very interesting animation, though.

Sorry for dragging this thread even further off course, but i must say that you speak english very well. how long have you been learning english? I bow before you're greatness. So do you have any tips for studying language? Anyway, back on topic. The problem I have with astrology is that what...

The only solution i can think of is to limit the amount of population growth by restricting the number of children each family can have. There aren't enough resources to support the current population at its current growth, and this is the only solution i can think of that doesn't involve mass...

English translation: "Everything that exists is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance." - Jean-Paul Sartre Original: «Tout existant naît sans raison, se prolonge par faiblesse, et meurt par rencontre.» - Jean-Paul Sartre my favourite quote :)

I'll procrastinate later...

I completely agree :) but if the sensation of color is purely a subjective experience, could it really be said that an object possesses what we call color? are objects essentially colorless? there is also no inherent property of a photon that depicts shape, or distance, or proportion, are these...

what i don't understand about the books is this: Sauron was one of the Maia, Gorthaur to be specific, he should have been able to retake human form after he was killed. Which brings up the issue of how he was killed... he died after having his finger cut off? sauron is supposed to be an immortal...

thank you for the information :) I know that what we see as color is part of the visible spectrum. The visible spectrum is just a set of wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum, right? So when you say that the cones determine color, they're really just seperating out different...

I understand that a colo(u)r is a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, and that the cones in the retina in the eyes are responsible for colo(u)r processing, but what is colo(u)r? What is it that we subjectively perceive as colo(u)r? That is, what gives us the sensation of colo(u)r...

YOUR SCORE Your scored -7 on Moral Order and 3 on Moral Rules. The following categories best match your score (multiple responses are possible): System: Socialism Ideology: Activism, Libertarian, Socialism Party: No match. Presidents: Jimmy Carter 04' Election: David Cobb 08' Election...

2.8666666666666667 You are a liberal airhead. yay, i'm so proud!

interesting video about global warming: YouTube- How It All Ends

Good point :) I didn't think about it like that. Maybe electricity is "magic"... I don't think there's a very good definition of what magic is, electricity could be called magic. Maybe we just come up with theories that seem to fit, but we could still be wrong about our assumptions. Just...

thanks, that's really interesting.

It kinda seems like everyone just takes it for granted that everything in the universe is made of atoms, but is there actually any evidence? it seems like they can't really be observed, so there probably isn't any empirical evidence. Is it still just completely theoretical? A theory doesn't...

5/9 Polymath You are 61% knowledgable and 72% intellectual. You are on the right path to becoming a legitimate genius! You have your assets balanced-- it is up to you to hit the books and do some brain teasers! Yay! I'm stupid! lol. I bow to your...

You are a generous thinker. You are a thinker: Your cautiousness, appreciation of functionality, and imagination combine to make you a THINKER. You have a vivid capacity for imagery that allows you to see beyond your present circumstances. You like to be sure of yourself before voicing your...

I asked it a perfectly reasonable question, and it gave me nothing: Also, as a fan of asimov, i naturally asked it this question: So far i'm kinda disapointed... I don't think this thing would pass the turing test... lol. i even asked it... just some more examples that i thought were...

let's see: - stairs without risers. - heights - guns - bombs - fear - snakes - spiders - public speaking that's all i'll write, but i could probably go on ad infinitum.

It's kind of difficult to tell whether early memories of childhood are genuine. Memories tend to degrade over time. False memories can be implanted, old memories can be reconstructed, or imagined. There is some interesting research on false memories, here are some urls: -...

yay. i know what you're all thinking... insofar as it's possible to know that you're thinking (or exist). wow, is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?

There's a theory that happiness is a sign that all of our basic needs a met, ie food, shelter, family/friends (socialization...). I think that people tend to overestimate how much affect day-to-day events will have on our happiness (lack of affective forcasting). And, as people have...
