This is probably under the wrong section, but I think the man needs help. :D http://www.theonion.com/articles/grad-student-deconstructs-takeout-menu,85/?ref=auto

Your argument is valid (it's consistent and linear to me), but the conclusion is defeating. You have to trust the arbiters of information as sentient and active to prevent the need for infinite regress. The meaning of life involves feeling. 'Correct' answers to any and all philosophical...

A few weeks ago, when we were discussing religion, my pious grandmother brushed aside all my logical predication and said, "But do you believe in God?" So if your desired outcome is a fixed/meaningful meaning (which I believe most--even the most casual--discussions about meaning are centered...

You've given me something to think about. I seem to have been fluctuating between grips of Ti and Fe lately, none of which were helpful. Thank you. Hah, alright, I regret mentioning that. I am not exceptionally beautiful or anything near that. Drunk girls are easy targets.

Where did you work? I'm not sure I'd be qualified for anything as I don't have any particular skills, nor references.

Duxwing I am very grateful for this. It made me laugh. I would ask him to run away with me, help me build a world, and then leave me alone to contemplate the stars and the result. Sounds weird, but it's the first thing that came to mind. Is the first thing the one you really want? Or am I...

I was drunk. Maybe it doesn't qualify to some people. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that. It's actually the first time I've even thought about it in months. The ticket to Indonesia is $1,000. The value of a dollar is high there, so I received about $100/month. My parents aren't rich. They...

I'll try to make this short. When I was fourteen, I experienced an existential crisis. I also met a guy and fell obsessively in love--and got my heart broken. I always brought home straight A's, but on the last quarter of freshman year, my GPA was 1.75. I was depressed and defiant, and my...

I loved that movie (the scene with the faceless characters was particularly delightful). I don't have much to contribute, but I once read a quote to the effect of, "People are not our most recent conversations with them. They've been the same from the beginning." This is of interest to me as I...

Motivational speeches often involve appeals to emotion (you can even claim that that's all they consist of). You may be motivated more by possible solutions because they indicate a clear path to action. Unless you're just experimenting to see if motivational speeches *can* have an effect on you...

I do, don't I? :confused: Perhaps you're right...

I do it in my head. :D

This is a little late, but your response is worth thinking about. I think I passingly mentioned doubt regarding my type just as a heads-up, which ties into what you're asking about judgement. I've seen some INTPs "ruthlessly" (i.e., honestly, though for some reason I interpret it that way) and...

I'll hold her to that. Thank you all for the interesting welcome. :D

Active Fe? I didn't find it necessary, but it seemed to be an appropriate social gesture. You will notice that I was reluctant enough to withhold personal information. But I might be an F for all I know! :p

I've been reading about the MBTI system for several months now, and though I'm still not quite sure of my type (my friend says INTP), I love the posts on this forum and decided to join. :) Anyway, I figured I should introduce myself before randomly popping up in these threads. Good to meet all...

This excerpt of an article I read recently may provide some insight: What you propose is refreshingly challenging and noble, but it is also laborious and perhaps futile. Humans don't operate under rules of logic, and neither will their constructions. If you are looking for psychological...
