hello all

[RandomCh33se]

Not sure how to go about this...

Hello fellow brains! Over my existence so far I have discovered that I take great joy in thinking about abstractions and analyzing new ideas. Since no one else I know does, this has led me to feel disconnected with the world around me; and not the good kind of disconnection (yes there's a difference). I have discovered this site in hopes of both meeting other brains who share this quality in order to establish what seems to be a needed connection, and to gather data on the variations of the human mind.

A little bit about myself:
I have a large obsession with the mind, which stems from trying to understanding how I work, an incident with my parents, and my various "failed" attempts at understanding the world around me. It has grown far beyond its original parameters and has turned into something much more beautiful. I'm actually thinking about going into psychology or a branch of neuroscience.

I enjoy books with imagination, video games, certain foods, predictability and unpredictability, personality, and to a certain extent, enhancing the experience of my fellow brains so their existence is a more enjoyable one.

I am excited to see what potential this forum holds, as well as to meet types of people i have never come across before

Welcome to the forum sir.

Mozart or Beethoven?

Bach or Vivaldi?

Pipe organ or Harpsichord?

 

[Rook]

Do you float in a jar filled with immortality juices, or are you cursed to inhabit the skull of a human?

Either way, welcome.

Disconnection from the rest of the universe....
That is a blissful curse, one which all(some) on this forum share to some extent.

Please do enter, don't wipe your feet, and enjoy the ride.

 

[EditorOne]

Yes, you found the right place.

hello. have you also found non-flavored pringles to be the essential Fried Stuff, and to exhibit interesting associative connections to sweet corn, cauliflower, and gruel? do you wish to combine these elements into the nicest, kindest food?

should a food be a combination of source materials, or a combination of combinations of source materials, etc? the goal of cuisine must be to imbue edible resources with craft. the highest level of craftsmanship is to be strived for. the degree of successful meta-combination determines the quality of a dish. do you agree?

To Lot:
I prefer Beethoven because he was able to use what limited sensory input he had to not only achieve something that should be more difficult for him, but he reached a tier that millions in similar profession can ONLY mentally quantify.

Bach, since his music is so various. Not only that, but he signed his identity into every piece making their source (him) easy to identify, even though there is a large amount of variety.

I have actually had the pleasure to sit inside a 30 meter high pipe organ as it breathed. It felt alive, but hollow (as it is synthetic in nature). Such a hauntingly beautiful experience.

To Rook:
I do not find that living inside a body is a curse at all. It gives me a way to interact with and perceive the world around me. And while I mainly associate my identity with the brain, that is but one way I perceive my own existence. If my choice of words is too alienating, compensating isn't the biggest of issues for me.

Funny how one can connect to others because of their connective quality that happens to be their disconnection to the world, in which the others that they are connecting to reside.

To Brontisaurite:
Your thought processes intrigue me.
This is how I see the topic:
Food is a combination of edible resources, but not all foods are the same. The complexity of combinations varies at all different levels, depending on the quantity of variety, and intensity of the combined flavors... as well as the intensities of all the individual flavors, and how you perceive all of these.

Something to note is that for this answer I am choosing to go with the layman's "Visible to the Naked Eye" approach when it comes to the definition of resources.

Anyways, if I were to have a Hot Dog on a bun with Ketchup, I would gather the ingredients, cook the Hot Dog, put it in the bun, and apply the Ketchup.
If I were to make eggs, I'd get some eggs, crack them open, mix them, cook them in the desired fashion, and then season them afterward.
Depending on your end goal and immediate choice perception, food is only as complex as you want it to be, weather that be combinations of resources, or combinations of combinations of resources.

To TheManBeyond:
My condolences.




Note to all: I do not know how to attach quotes from other comments to my posts... I apologize.

You've passed test and answered correctly on all fronts. You may stay

 

[RandomCh33se]

Why thank you. I am glad that I have gained at the very least marginal appreciation from someone

 

[mrrhq]

You are possibly an INFP, but I like you.
I'm sure if you were an INTP, you'd be insulted by that.

I see this as a somewhat rash conclusion.
Insulted by Lot's accolades?
I think that rather a feeler would be insulted by it.

After re-reading the OP, Ch33se seems quite rational and more INTP.
I am not proficient in typology, but your statement needs to be further substantiated.

 

[mrrhq]

INTPs can be insulted too.
Actually, I didn't mean to inappropriately type anyone. That's why I said it's only a possability.
He could possibly be an INTP too.
It's hard to classify someone's personality without a formal test.

 

[Rook]

Indeed they can.
Perspectives differ, one person's insult is another person's compliment.
Would be interesting to hear Ch33se's interpretation.

Oh, in my waking fogginess I did not see the "possibly".
I apologise for that observational blunder.

 

[RandomCh33se]

I have no problem in giving it, but I am unsure how long this thread would continue... Since it is an introductory thread, would having a fest of idea-swapping be appropriate? My concern lies in that in some forums, Admins can be very picky in categorizing threads. Since I still know next to nothing about any of you, I think it best to assume the worst. After all, assuming and avoiding trouble can be better than assuming and regretting it later, depending on how one decides to look at it.

Let the festival begin!


Seriously, if you wish to spill your mind, do so.
If you want to have a serious discussion on a singular topic, starting a new thread may be the best path to follow.
Otherwise, idea away.

 

[RandomCh33se]

Begin it shall Though I forgot my party hat and confetti because I am in a small mid-morning haze, making it harder keep the logical choo-choo trains on track. Keep in mind that my comment might not be something I agree with once I am fully awake.

Anyways, I categorize things in connections and tiers. Lot's comment I saw as a low tier friendly statement. In other words even if I pushed myself into being insulted, there are a lot better uses of "my" time.

I apologize if what I say makes little sense, English is my second language...
