WELCOME to the UNIVERSITY of INTPIA

[Da Blob]

The words of our founder, the exalted kianara...

"Okay, so we take your generally reclusive geniuses and teach them the way they want to be taught to help them realize their full potential and take their rightful place in the 98th and 99th percentile.

Then we organize our alumni and spread our influence until we have a good intelligence network.

Then we take over the world and institute these types of teaching facilities all over the world. Kianara

And attempt to isolate the stupidity gene and keep it's bearers from mating."

This is so hot... Co-founder Anthile

TIME passes (tick tock, tick tock, tick tock and so on and so forth)

the University of INTPIA

hello and welcome i am your tour guide in this flight of fancy
the tower on the far left houses our links library
as you know we are renown for our good taste
so that building contains only the finest of external links
salvaged from the Chaos of the Net
Oh! BTW we encourage Self Expression
so feel free to defile any of the statues on campus
the BlueOne is quite popular for that purpose
and of course, graffiti is quite a popular art form

the tower on the left contains unpublished papers by Alumni
they are immune to the efforts of Plagarizing-seeking software
the building also contains our collecting of various and sundry avatars
that have been used by INTPians and friends

Of course the building that sits
in the center of the campus
is The Library
started with just a few
free texts available on the net
it quickly grew into the intellectual edifice
you now see

Of course the Athletic dept. is limited to
intellectual and video games
so it is housed in the Arcade to the left of the library
The arts of our images, music and
the Humanities are housed in the tower to the right of the library...

and so on and so forth, tick tock tick tock

 

[Ermine]

Why such an underdeveloped athletic department? I like playing intramural sports, and I noticed that a lot of people do some sort of martial arts.

Oh, and a free laptop of your choice for anyone who is accepted to this prestigious university.

Donations for such a worthy cause are now being accepted (see Saffy)
We might even put your name on the Gym

 

[Ermine]

Yes, sounds good so long as all the little ermines and weasels are allowed to roam free and jump on people from behind. The place is infested.

 

[Kuu]

You put martial arts on the same level as sports? Speak no more!

(So it seems that all we needed to take over the world was a sympathetic INTJ)

 

[Ermine]

I never said they were on the same level. You are the one putting martial arts on a certain pedestal.

 

[Da Blob]

Yes, sounds good so long as all the little ermines and weasels are allowed to roam free and jump on people from behind. The place is infested.

infested with people?

 

[Ermine]

Depends on your point of view. Let's just say the university is infested with students and weasels. On that note, let it be known that I own an army of weasels.

This sounds like a perfect university. Free laptops, grafitti covered statues, huge library, everything in the public domain, with a bunch of weasels scampering around and randomly jumping onto people's shoulders.

 

[JoeJoe]

Are the instruments free as well? I'd like a Stradivari Cello.

 

[Ermine]

I second the motion on free instruments, or at the very least free rental with collateral.

 

[Da Blob]

Are the instruments free as well? I'd like a Stradivari Cello.

Who Mentioned the word "FREE"?

there's blood to play (see Saffy)

 

[Da Blob]

I second the motion on free instruments, or at the very least free rental with collateral.

We can do 'collateral'
so which of your family jewels
are you offering as such?

 

[Ermine]

The invisible one.

EDIT: I'll give up the sunglasses in my avatar. They used to belong to some celebrity I can't remember the name of...

 

[JoeJoe]

there's blood to play (see Saffy)

And who will be the blood-playing teacher. I only do Cello and Piano.

 

[Ermine]

They do have sitar classes, don't they? Oh, and shamisens too.

 

[Da Blob]

And who will be the blood-playing teacher. I only do Cello and Piano.

I imagine saffy or one of her proteges, she plays in blood

Now i know why I didn't become an educator
the university has only been in existence for an an hour
yet the student body is already complaining about the curriculum
So you want Online Martial Arts PE classes?
You want a Online Orchestra?
You're talking about some expensive VR applications
that We will have to buy or invent
(unless we could figure out how to steal it...?)

 

[grey matters]

Where is the zen garden?

 

[Kianara]

MUAHAHAHAHA!!! You quoted me and founded the university of INTPIA!! *evil laughter*

So.... what's my job?

 

[Fukyo]

Will NFs be allowed?

 

[Da Blob]

MUAHAHAHAHA!!! You quoted me and founded the university of INTPIA!! *evil laughter*

So.... what's my job?

build the Links library

recruit some INTJ students
(should we change the Name to INTiA U, Its got a nice ring to it?)

Find a way to 'acquire' the appropriate VR apps..

Whatever you want to do?

C _O?

 

[Da Blob]

Will NFs be allowed?

Of Course, but only the best NFs, such as yourself

 

[Da Blob]

Where is the zen garden?

between the pot fields and the Zoo

 

[saffyangelis]

I'm in charge of accepting donations? I shall work on a list of what you get for each. I imagine it looking something like this -

1 litre of blood - your name in sharpie on the gym.
2 litres - If you write a book, we'll stick it in the library
3 litres - A pet is allowed for a week in school
4 litres - Decent food in the cafeteria
5 litres - Well, the science department gets to hold an autopsy lesson.

[Kianara]

build the Links library

recruit some INTJ students
(should we change the Name to INTiA U, Its got a nice ring to it?)

Find a way to 'acquire' the appropriate VR apps..

Whatever you want to do?

C _O?

Links to what? INTP, INTJ, and INFP type things? I've already compiled a list, do you want me to share it?

Okay! *runs off* *comes back* They don't wanna. *shrug* I guess INTJs that aren't as cool as me don't wanna be here.

Do I get paid? (In blood?)

No I thought you might be a ____ ______ _____ ______ ___
The world's first, a Pioneer - an INTJ of Vision,
the first specimen of a new species,
A star is born, Ta DA
Kianara, the First 'Link'brarian....

a new' links' thread is begun
salvage the 'cool' links from the old threads on this site
ask for suggestions, find sites with pre-existing link lists
I think that a discriminating taste, an exercise in Epicurism
in the selection of links perhaps a five star rating scale
could establish one as One-Who-Knows

Hmmm No volunteers, I guess we will just have to trap the first class
so what kind of bait do we use to trap the class of 2013?

talk to Saffy about your commissions

A new species? I actually rather like 'Kianara, the first 'Link'brarian.

Should I start a new thread then?

Done. SAFFY! I want my blood!

 

[saffyangelis]

Alright, here you go *Hands over three litres*

And I have ten fingers, but people only have 5.6 litres of blood. =(

 

[Da Blob]

Ummm under the general heading of Customer Relations
If we take 5 litres from 1 customer
her or his return business doesn't seem likely
perhaps 1 litre each from 5 'customers'...

 

[saffyangelis]

Thats why the science department'd get to do an autopsy. I thought it was funny =(

 

[Da Blob]

Oh!!! I get it now, I still pay in 'pint' denominations

(Sending PM)

so where's the thread these things are beginnig to stack up?

Wow. I tried finding topics like this in a regular library, no luck. May I enroll? Where do I sign my blood? How many people do I have to kill to get a latte?

Kianara....Help!

 

[Kianara]

Help? You seem to be handling it pretty well on your own. Why would I interfere with someone doing their job just as well or better than I could have done it?

 

[Da Blob]

Okay, I'll take that as a compliment!
But where's the LINKlibrary Thread?

 

[saffyangelis]

Wow. I tried finding topics like this in a regular library, no luck. May I enroll? Where do I sign my blood? How many people do I have to kill to get a latte?

Blood? Here, just stick it in this bag.....

And Latte's are half a litre extra. A full litre if it's gonna be Starbucks.


And as for the Linkbrary thread, I think we need a whole section for this. We can get Noddy to teach classes on ofending people, Lor on the perfect murder, Perseus can do zoology, Melkor on generally being mad, and so on....

(Jesin can talk about his pangolins)

 

[Kianara]

I agree. Our university requires more than a thread. It needs it's own section on the forum.

*casts 'summon lor' spell*

Edit: Then I'll make an 'official' linkbrary thread. Plus we can make threads for different classes, like 'Understanding Extroverts' XP

 

[loveofreason]

Oh... I'm here... a bit muddle-headed at the moment... what was it you're after?

Welcome to the faculty of INT_IA UNIVERSITY!
It is a proven, but discarded fact, that peers are the best teachers
There seems to be some really solid patterns to INTPness
perhaps there is a Learning Style unique to INT_ians
that is unaddressed by the Educational Industry

Perhaps the best online School for INT_ians is going to be
the one built by INT_ians, for INT_ians?

EEk! .... Off Topic.... Must Answer....Question!

ME wanta "INT LINKS library" thread useful for different purposes
However, if the community sees no utility of such, there is no point in establishing one...
(In the decades to come it might evolve into something else)

Do you ever have After thoughts, I seemed to be plagued by them(?)
If you define a school as a place to learn, then this community is already a quite sophisticated school, with ambiguous meanings to the words Place, Learn, Community, and Sophisticated.

I guess if I were going to indulge in a complete fantasy (Might as well, what good is half a fantasy?)

I would imagine a community 'Barn Raising' event, where members would invite guests to spend part of a day, building an online school. We could serve 'Stone Soup' for lunch.

As an instructor in such a school here's how I would teach the topic of "Q"
"Starting from the list of links below, Go find something interesting about "Q"
Post it with an explanation of why you found it interesting and, IF relevant, why you believe others may find it interesting. After all the posts are in. we will then begin to discuss the posts, creating a dialogue and hopefully, produce a synthesis of "Q" We will return eventually to Distill the Essence of "Q'ness in a collaborative paper...

It is already known, that a Playground is a better school, than a classroom...

Link collections?

- 100 artist that I wish I could draw like.

 

[Kianara]

Hmm, I'm on deviantart. And I AM working on the links library. I just wanna see if we can get our own INT-IA University section so I can has my own library wing.

 

[Da Blob]

Under the general category of "THE WEIRD AND BIZARRE"
has anyone else seen what popped up on GOOGLE

Prove your musical talent. Join the YouTube Symphony Orchestra.

Like mere moments after we talked about the U. of INT_IA online orchestra?

 

[saffyangelis]

I actually saw that, but guitar isn't on the list of instruments, and I can't read music, so I had no luck.

 

[JoeJoe]

Well they started quite a while ago already.

 

[Da Blob]

Well they started quite a while ago already.

Good - I just hadn't seen it then
(I hate those paranoid flashbacks)

 

[saffyangelis]

I saw it ages ago, a few months, and I thought about it, told my friend who can actually play an instrument about it, and then left it.
