For those who aren't familiar with the term: cryptozoology is the "science" which studies cryptids... creatures not totally accepted by the science, but its existance can be related to certain myths or folklore (like Sasquatch, or Big Foot... it's a cryptid). Well, this thread is not for...

Self typing is complex. Just 16 types for all the 7 billion world population? MBTI can be useful for some things and finding people you can understand... but is DEFINITELY NOT a guide to life. I think that solving individual problems is better when you identify the problems and solve them one...

If I weren't studying physics, I'd probably studying programming. But wait, I've self tought myself programation for videogames, and 8 bit art for the sprites (check my avatar). I think that a person may have a lot of different interests and hobbies, and what you choose for your future must be...

True. The only real implication about living in a simulation is the reaction of the programmers... what if they don't want us to know? :storks:

Kinda the same situation. A few years ago, while struggling in High School (a place with a lot of sensors/feelers/judgers... I didn't fit in), I had similar comunication difficulties. But when at some point between 15 and 17 Ne started to show up, it all changed. Using Ti to analyze ideas and...

Hello there! Physics student in here. Theoretical physics are awesome (at least for me)... but you need a grade first. All around the world the number of jobs for physics are increasing, and trust me, you can see physics in a lot of grounds (even not directly related to physics, like economy)...

Ohhhh, my bad XD

Not necessarily. Why recreating all the 11 dimensions? We only "feel" the first 3 of them. And the fourth one is widely especulative. Recreating a 11 dimensions universe would be a waste of power for me. (Again, 11 dimensions may be rendered in experiments and special observations, but not in...

Well, glad to see that my crazy high school idea was developed that much in here! But I have 2 things to add: Time: You're right my friend, if you create a whole new universe in 14 billion years, and the next simulation takes another 14 you'll have a 28 billion years universe, right? But why...

Yeah... I probably become a professor one day. But only if I can get enough money.

I think that living in a computer simulation is possible, in fact, for me once, it was a mathematic certainty. I actually wrote and essay about it, it's called the Domes theorem. Let's first begin with the very first advanced enough civilization of the universe. And suppose they created a...

Too much ambiguities and subjectivity here for me D: Infinity is beyond our mind. Infinity is beyond the universe. Only a huge wasteland of infinity lies beyond the infinite horizon.

Actually, he means a user called "the architect". It's kinda famous in here. Do your grade again and get a PhD in astrophysics (that's what I'm doing)

I made a thread of this days ago. It's that and more. Here's the link.

Too much faith in makind in one thread D: Future would problably look more like a degenerated society with advanced tech (only for the elite) and huge cities overpopulated, polluted and dirty. Oh, and that's only if we don't nuke each other first.

I disagree, yes, the average IQ may be raising from time to time, but I personally think that nor greeks or our own were smarter than the others. Think for example, on MBTI (yes, another post with INTP ego XD), are INTPs smarter than ESFJs? If ancient greeks had more common sense and survival...

Maybe, if string theory is right, the smallest zoom you can achieve would be one within branes and strings interacting with each other. But sadly, we can't go that deep :c. We can only see things in visible light bigger than the visible light frequency (or wavelength, if you like). Think...

Infinity is not a number!!!! You can't say something is infinite because "it never ends"!!!!!!!!!! Infinity is a group of things, such as seconds (in the case of time), or light-years (space)... or whatever. *physics triggered* Now, space and time can't be infinite. Time can't be...

For you to fill a cup, it needs to be empty. Of course, I'm no expert in tulpas, but that's why I created this thread. I'm very satisfied with all the answers, enlightening a little bit the dark cave which I call "the truth". Now, someone mentioned consequences of having tulpas, what...

I agree with most of that. Self-consciousness and separate thoughts? Maybe in a certain way (the auto pilot way) But if they exist in your mind, if you focus enough, you can break them apart and control them, because they are part of your mind. However, if that sounded a bit too rough for...

Thank you :D

Well, one very last question (for now), and maybe the most important (and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one wondering about) How does it feel to share a body?

Maybe you can ask Sete to MBTI you, it may help. (?)

What about a guy with a sarcastic Eddie (the Iron Maiden pet) 8-bit self-drawn avatar? What do you guys think about him? :rolleyes:

Hi Silina (and/or Sete) I have two questions for you guys. If you meet someone new, you both meet him at the same time? And that person should refer to wich personality is he talking to? I'm kinda curious, but I think I'll leave my brain for my own use for now.

Ehh, I have to admit that I found a little creepy the post above. Sharing your brain with another entity? :confused: But anyway, thanks, I think you made yourself a point right there . Yes, just because something exists in your head it doesn't mean it isn't real. Sorry about that. But I meant...

Yeah, what do you think? I think that when you get used to the idea of some entity being with you all the time, it reaches the point when it becomes automatic. But are those entities created by our imagination real? When a simple delusion becomes a self-conscious entity? And if it can go...

Just a simple question: How much college in the US are like abroad Universities? (I mean, I've tried to understand the US way, but... well, it's different) Here we go a Preschool (literal translation) when we are like 2 or 3. It's 3 years. Then we go the Basic School (again, literal...

¿Te refieres al autobusero idiota que tenemos de presidente? Argh... quisiera poder odiarlo por la horrible situacion que estamos atravesando, pero es muy estúpido para poder haberlo planeado. Creo que la culpa yace en los que estan junto a él, corruptos hipócritas arrogantes descarados... y...

Well, that's deep. I can easily relate myself to your post, I just started university, but I'd like to point out a few things. First of all, and above the others, I totally agree with this. Yeah, I mean, I may be young, but I think the steel for the armor we'll use during our adult life is...

I think that the concepts in here are being extrapolated. @John_Mann insists that consciousness is metaphysical because... Now, this logic may be right, but he's not using the terms properly. Metaphysics can be defined by Merriam Webster as Now, this definition can be a little ambiguous, so...

WHAT IS THIS????????????? Science as we know started in the Ancient Greece, by people like Democritus, Thales, Pythagoras. And the scientific method that we use today was invented by Galileo. Oh... and yes... greeks were "pagans"

Dude, just because nobody has done one yet, doesn't mean that nobody will ever create one.

Science is the basis of our society. Without it, we'll still be in the Dark Ages. It reminds me of a quote (I can't remember from who)

1. Gifts 2. Acts of service 3. Quality time 4. Words of affirmation 5. Physical touch. I may be OK with the first 3, but I really hate when people goes corny with touching, and emotional nonsenses. It's.... irational.

Supernatural doesn't exist. "Supernatural" things are things not fully understood by science, doesn't mean that "supernatural things" break laws of Physics. And consciousness is not metaphysical. It's not magic. Even if there's something outside our heads, it won't be metaphysical. It's...

What are you trying to do with this thread? Convince everyone that consciousness is not physical? Until no theories are shown, or experiments made, we just can't state anything. If you say that consciousness is not physical because you say so, you may be wrong, or maybe not. The point is to be...

Disagree. Computers can also accept axioms, like the HTML code of this page, for example. And axioms are only taken to be true until somebody proofs they're wrong. Until the XVI century, people thought that Earth was Flat (even when some Greeks already proof it was round), and that was an...

Maybe. I like how you defined love, it's so... idealistic and pure. Btw, if you'd like to read a thread about the nature of consciousness you can check it here.

Look, the nature of consciousness, by itself, it's a good debate, but when you mix that with this anti Scientific Method thread, you're going nowhere. For people learn something, they must forget their prejudices and preconceived ideas. Or at least try to make them not influence in the final...

All right, if we define scientism as a cult, by definition, it will be wrong. Science is not accepting what others say and believe on it without asking. Science is asking why to what others say. Science is why, if Earth is supposed to be flat, the moon eclipses show a round shadow? Science is...

Love as a "electron lock"? Maybe. But I think it's more likely to love to be the result of chemical reactions in our brains (releasing hormones and endorphines) than being something outside our head, beacuse if we accept the electron lock theorie, we'd be accepting also the existance of a "soul"...

Eh, no. No dude. Love isn't 5th dimension. In the movie they define love as a force that is able to travel across dimensions, not as a dimension itself.

Look, we're living in a eduacion/work system that was created during the industrial revolution, schools weren't for learning, at all, only for teaching how to accept authority without asking. Be quiet, ask nothing, don't think, and you'll be rewarded. Same at work, because in the XIX century...

Well, let me tell you something I learned in High School. Apply yourself. Get good grades. YOU NEED IT. Even if you want to be a writer, or write poetry, you really need it. When I was in High School I didn't really applied too much (maybe because I have talent for math and physics), but trust...

My own experience was something similar, first they "other people" tried to fit me in, but when they stopped laughing of stupid bad jokes, they were like "wow, this guys is smart", but that didn't make them stop. I really hated groupal works, specially because parasites just tried to be with me...

LOL It is a error page the "hi" one (I laughed when I first saw it) Now... intpforum.com. No idea.

Hello there! Well, do you INTPs were considerated like loners, or nerd, or weird in High School? Why?? That's what I'm wondering. I recently read this essay about why nerds are umpopular, and I'm wondering if this applies to INTPs in general, or it's more like being in the bad place in the bad...

INTPs are good (A Si-Fe technique) in reading other people feelings and action and remember them for further use in our own relationships, and also Ti-Ne can formulate conduct patterns and theories about them. But love? Love is irrational. By definition. But that's not bad, at all, I think that...

Wow... that's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm a writer, mostly science fiction, but I do have created some fantasy world wich I use for inspiration (also I love reading, so my imagination is quite vivid). That's the main point. Having a plce to go anytime, anywhere, where you can do...
