I have inherent biases, but I try to limit them.

Seriously, it is so illogical. I mean, if we draw pics of mohommad, we are already going to hell according to Islam because we don't believe. So why does it matter? What exactly is blasphemy, why do they get so upset when someone who doesn't have anything to do with them does something like...

You talking about visitor messages? Yea I have had that happen before too, I think it may be a bug.

IMO, defining self-reflection as a feeling function is too generic. Self-reflection is about understanding and mentally breaking down what makes you tick. If you do it on an emotional basis, judging how you feel about things and what those implications are, then it is feeling. If you break it...

Welcome to the forums. :D

I use ubuntu for personal servers and just generally screwing around. I don't really use it for a desktop environment. At work we use RHEL, ESX, SLES, and we actually had SCO Unix here at one point. I find CentOS (Based off RHEL) used quite often in implementations at various companies. At...

Agreed, although I have high hopes for a new philosophy forum I found. But yea, IRL.... forget about it.

Ah, thanks! At what point did you and your friends start experiencing the paranoia and hallucinations? Were you using stimulants at the time?

You said it shows as fine in Device Manager? (No yellow exclamation mark) You should attempt to find the audio chipset and download the drivers, reinstall them and see if that re-introduces sound. And you said you can access the internet with programs other than simple web browsers on your...

Study Extroverted Sensing (ISTP) vs Extroverted Intuition (INTP), Introverted Thinking (ISTP & INTP), and Extroverted Thinking and Introverted Intuition (INTJ). Posing questions about the individual functions may get you a better response.

Hmm, I will have to analyze these situations to determine which can be solved with analysis and which cannot. :storks:

....no Spongebob??? Ok, if they are taking away my crack too THAT'S IT! :elephant: [mentally imagine the happy face is a mean painted war face]

So on a scale of 1-10 how much do you believe the theory on the jesuits/papacy?

Ok so I knew about the fed reserve, the bankers, etc. I didn't know about jailing gold owners shortly afterwards. The most shocking thing about the fed was the depression that followed shortly after its implementation and it STILL kept going LOL. Haven't read it all, yet. Someone has been...

Wait, are they planning to keep airing Spongbob??? :eek:

My roomie took salvia and ended up as a coffee cup in our cupboard. No lie!

OOoooh (s)he broke already, GET THE SADDLE!

I don't know if I necessarily have a fav color these days. I have some favorite sets of colors I suppose. If I had to choose one, it would probably be black, maybe blue depending on the day. Green was my favorite when I was young.

Your Brain Usage Profile: Auditory : 33% Visual : 66% Left : 44% Right : 55% John, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing. Since neither of these is completely centered...

I guess I better make Schopenhauer my next read, thanks Beat!

Oh, if you want a good overview of Nietzsche's philosophy in general look up the video on him from Human, All Too Human. You should be able to find it either on google video or veoh.com. I think that would lay a decent foundation to start from. Actually, just found it, here: Human, All Too...

I started with Thus Spoke/Spake Zarathustra. Not sure if that is the best beginning for Nietzsche. Some research on the history of Zoroaster and Zoroastrianism/Parsi may help to understand his symbology used. Wikipedia spells out some of the common themes in the writing to keep an eye on. The...

Decisions must be made. In order to make the best decision, we think. We have the ability to be proactive and to predict an outcome rather than to simply respond to a situation. I do often ponder in situations where others may only experience. For me, I wouldn't change my ability to ponder for...

I actually paused on reading it, I was in the mood for soemthing else. It has some interesting concepts, though. I just have a ton of other books I am looking forward to reading. I saw a bad review on goodreads.com about how Minsky doesn't use an accurate model of applying neuroscience which I...

Are you implying everyone's experience will be the same or have you researched this? To the OP: I am lucky if I can stay up for 12 hours without falling asleep! Props on 60 hours. My temper completely dissolves if I am suffering from a signfiicant lack of sleep. I would completely shut down...

I have 2 major rules. Be honest and be rational.

LOL, great post. For me a deep conversation is where someone is able to give me blunt honesty, you truly show who you are to the other person. You may relay a story and say "This is what I was thinking, this is how I felt, this is how I responded and this is why I think that is the case."...

Excellent post.

Not sure what you mean, but I haven't read his work so I can't answer that.

What you describe is a healthy balance and that is good. It is when there are unrealistic expectations or preconceived biases where the idea of these differences create more overhead in social interaction and argumentation than they alleviate. You can apply your example to all aspects of life...

Aint that the truth! I blame ignorance.

I am just talking out my ass here, but prior to corporate exploitation I would think the true intention was to create a fundamental foundation for understanding and being able to build upon a personality. If you understand the categories of your strengths and weaknesses you are better able to...

I haven't read Schopenhauer yet, but I look forward to it.

Nietzsche's struggle for power can be applied, depending upon how far you widen the scope. Words hit it on the head: survival. We are thrust into a state of existence of constant flux and for the most part we are wired to seek survival, there are ways to get around that urge (depression...

I don't and I would prefer not to be. The idea is growth, not pigeonholing yourself. Strive for xxxx; have all abilities at your disposal. Challenge yourself to advance, see other perspectives, live different lives, be all-encompassing, and transcend yourself. Don't settle for the box and...

Weird is an understatement. I am the king (at least locally) of putting my own foot in my mouth, mixing incredibly witty/smart comments and incredibly dumb oversights and just general awkwardness. Not quite so in written form, but my god, in person... However, I am WAY better than I used to...

How have you been?

Haha, it doesn't have to be elegant, just say you know me and I invited you there and that you came from these forums or something like that.
