I feel like this is what's going on here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naleynXS7yo

I don't think you can tell me how he felt inside. Also, television didn't exist then, so culture probably wasn't as alienating--maybe he was so naturally like the way I'm aspiring for that he didn't have to even think about it ;) Also, you asked why you would have to compare yourself to others. Lol

Side effects may include making God your rival, beating your friends at video games, becoming more generous to show your friend you've got more than her/him, becoming a Hollywood superstar, becoming your boss's boss, feeling good, supersonic hearing, becoming a conspiracy theorist, and becoming...

If you don't compare yourself to others, you'll lose interest in bettering yourself externally and you'll find yourself in isolation where you'll make your own world in your psyche--optional, I've been there. This is a gateway back if you want it. You're not necessarily confronting others...

Probably true, I missed all of 3rd grade and was forced to learn math by myself to pass a standardized state test and this caused me to have an early development of the skills corresponding to Ni--leading me to believe at one time I was an INTP. ADD ON: Also, these "blanket generalizations"...

I'm an ESFP

But I don't have Fe, I have Fi ;)

I think the more violent people put more value into their smaller family while the people who valued humility put more value in the community. But I think nowadays, the value in the community is becoming so great that we are losing track of valuing close friends and family. Perhaps this...

You're using your mind to solve an equation to a meritless answer rather than using your heart to pump life into fulfilling the task with vigor.

Ahhh, but it is not conflict. Think of it this way--pretend everyone is a blank square (literally) in a puzzle that represents society. No matter where the squares rearrange themselves, society will look the same--just with different squares in different places. Now pretend an ideology comes...

Pride is a wall that can serve as a form of enlightenment from fear of failure--but in that, you will digress from your fellow humans little by little as you start to take on the traits of an exile who exiled himself. I am here to share a way of life that bids farewell to isolation and...

:segen: But where is the love in that? ;)

All I can think to say to this is that I believe there's a bit of a 'Mad Hatter' in all of us-- and that all of the me's that you see are just an expression of different repressions based on my priorities. So I do believe I owe you an apology for the me that I used to be-- the me before...

If this question comes from where I think it does, then if you win--you will experience true "original sin" and experience "the fall" where all your desires are concentrated on the feeling of being better than others. Here, I'm trying to promote the entirety of your inner desires to become...

Very good :twisteddevil: --> :angel01: :)

Hey, I've got an update that relates to this conversation we had exactly 2 years ago. http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=23157 Weird how this landed on the exact day.. Coincidences like this sometimes make me think into the unfathomable.

My pleasure :cool:

The spite will chase us everywhere we go, but at least we're going somewhere.

What I'm really saying here is I want the relationship between me and my friends to be like America and the Soviet Union during the space race. Let's get that economy a-boomin' people.

True--I'm not saying to max out your credit cards here. It's in my nature to plan things out, so I naturally missed that point. Good catch.

It's basically a WoW advertisement--and what happens if you play WoW too long. Haha

I'm sure most of us have contemplated this at one time or another, some of us found our own little niches to call our purpose, others have just plain given up, and some have even gotten so lost that they've lost sight of everything and are lost in some sort of delusion. Well let me tell you...

Also, for me, virtue is the addition of urges. Figure that one out :P

The opening to Pandora's box into the pits of knowledge and despair--so I say "Beware." An alleviation of fear and a path to enlightenment, the answer to this paradox is the undoing of yourself--that which unties you from your inner animal to make you but an ego with full control. But with...

It was more about the song, lol. I just chose a video that had some footage in it.

I don't see jealousies as a problem, more as a motivator--the desire to gain and compete is what fuels my purpose. I have more or less come full circle where I learned to love as much as I can about the lessons of pain. Forgive me if I sound a bit "Charlie Sheen", but the feeling of gaining...

What if all logic is superstition, built on superstition, built on superstition. That reality itself is just two or more intertwining forces that go through each other--creating what is experienced as a life, and your place in in the intensity of the waves energy is up to the superstitions you...

Remember, there is anger before acceptance... ...and that doesn't mean the anger goes away--it is your life force to be channeled into a virtuous love of life.

Not as bleak as it looks at first https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKQ1ZEa6Lgk

You guessed exactly right--risky, but I believe those with the right will can survive its contents, and fate will decide who will open it.

Your memory is made of your emotions towards your knowledge--the form of pride. I am not saying pride is bad, I have it too, but, based on what I know, if your pride hangs there, your social skills and wit are based on your pride--making you less creative than your full potential. Its a choice...

My insight tells me you have a lot of pride, pride in the midst of unraveling. ;) But I also don't think you know it yet.

If I could describe it, its like that stereotypical scenario where you end up in a courtroom as God as the judge who will condemn you to Hell--but my intellect built a valid defense in my case which granted me a sort of freedom that left me in a void, causing me to feel lost and without purpose...

That is my defense in order to claim my life as my own. ;) By giving it to life. What do you think the jury will say to that?

I would have to say that my form of denial comes in the form of traumatic experiences caused by a lucid imagination combined with intense fear of God, karma, Freddy Crugar, demons, insects, viruses, death, torture, and anything my imagination could think of until my mind became so full of fear...

What if I were to say that my philosophies came to me through myself when my denial became so great that my conscience became me, and my desires became my conscience? Perhaps that is the true origin that maybe Hegel experienced--a German trait, or potential variation that could happen...

I guess the topic is "The essence of the reality we live in today (containing the elements of psychology, neuroscience, evolution, and all of the chemistry created between them--including sociology, economics, philosophy, religion, and everything in between)." Obviously I don't know about this...

I never really liked reading other people's conclusions. I've always been very fundamental--only accepting things in the form of definitive proof. Otherwise, if you read too much of someone else's stuff, they're points are only going to keep proving themselves until you've found yourself in a...

Never read into his stuff really. This is my idea based on my understanding of psychology and evolution.

I don't know where you got this thing called "class struggle". Don't even know what that is.

Usually if people wanted to see, they would be asking specific questions

How so? Edit: How not so? ?

There's a reason this post is in psychology and neuroscience. The anthropological basis here is the study of the mind--more closely related to the progression of a societal mind from an instinctual mind of desire. Where, from instinct, can a mind wander off to when it can't get what it wants...

Perhaps the symbol under the little tree that shines through the heart of the man in my avatar should be the symbol on Greed's hand if you are familiar with the anime "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood"

So I'd say, evil, in their perspective, is competition.

A favorable proposition for the small and the weak, wouldn't you say?

I don't feel lonely, but I believe I could always use more friends and am always open to that possibility.

Set your focus to wanting more and more. Awaken your inner animal. Greed will fuse all of your desires to make you whole. Greed wants it all--virtue, perfection, pleasure, things, friends, competition, prestige, victory in every way. You are made of desire--the more you deny it, the...

In the beginning, some were bigger than others--they got all the food and the sex and all the fun things. Then the small ones became jealous, so they became bitter, and in their bitterness, they banded together with other bitter ones. Together, they communicated and formed a coalition of...
