    The banning of BAP

    Gee. Even INTPs aren't immune to drama.

    Women in STEM

    I'm a master student, I have no work experience. The thing that stands out to me most in women in engineering, is that they're almost all sensors. Most of them hardworking and driven. They don't care about technology in particular, but they're willing to put in a lot more time and effort...

    Have you noticed that some people don't know what "logical" means?

    A logical person can neither deny nor confirm the existence of ghosts, as there is no way to prove* either. *prove in the logical sense. Isn't this true, from their perspective? The way you describe it : They understand your beliefs, but they don't necessarily agree with them. Seems like a...

    Reincarnation

    In all fairness, normal is boring. I don't fancy striving for 'normality'... I'm aware it's rather cocky, but conformity bothers me, but I realise it's a necessary evil. We can't have extensive opinions about every subject, after all. Yeah, meaning of life is another one of those. Lets say I...

    Computer code discovered in the understanding of our universe.

    I currently have access to most scientific journals through uni vpn. I agree that these should be accessible to anyone, considering howmuch i'd be paying for these studies if uni didn't provide them for free. (Lets just say it'd be close to my rent.) Scientific notation could be toned down a...

    Reincarnation

    The answers are edited into my previous post. As to your statement, you presume I'll pick the teaching because it's meant to be an obvious choice but I honestly don't see it as such. If you're a pyromaniac, I can imagine burning down my house would be much more worthwhile than teaching...

    Reincarnation

    Why can't it be true? The emphasis from especially isn't meant as doing 'nothing' is more worthwhile than other things, but rather to stress that even doing nothing at all is on par with everything else. Any preferences are subjective, there is no objective way to call a certain activity more...

    Beyond the passive-aggressive/ confrontational dichotomy

    I don't resolve interpersonal issues. I think i'm fairly tolerant and I rarley get angry with others. However, if you piss me off or get pissed off at me, that's fine, it happens. Once. Or twice. Third time is a pattern, a pattern of pissing eachother off is a bad sign, so I run and never look...

    I have no idea what I'm trying to sedate. myself? I'm not unhappy, and I wasn't either. Atleast not in a general sense. As any INTP, I do / did spend alot of times thinking about questions that have no answer, or things that are completely out of my power. Ethics, religion, life...

    How do I get myself to study?

    This is the truth. I know it's a rather terrible method, but I've always found the procrastination into last-minute stress method quite helpful. By all means I've told myself countless times I'd go to the classes and put in the work, but it's never happened and I guess it never will. I don't...

    Reincarnation

    It's by no means painful. I didn't mean it pejorative, it's merely the reason as to why I was gone, and being sober for a couple of days is the reason I'm back. Marijuanna, alcohol, whatever I can find that shushes my thoughts. Mostly weed. I'm not sure whether I'm addicted to marijuanna or...

    What is love to you?

    A friend of mine described (romantic) love as being a mixture of friendship, obsession and lust. I think it's a fair description, but I think that over time lust (or rather, the rush you have at the start of a relationship / when you fall in love / whatever) diminishes and makes place for some...

    How often do you cry?

    I've had points where I felt genuinely sad and wanted to cry, should have crield but didn't. This didn't occur when I was younger, but now I just can't cry easily at all, especially due to sadness. I do sometimes cry when someone angers me, and I can get emotional on movies / music / scenes...

    At what point is a person too drunk to consent for sex?

    Honestly, that's rather harsh. Driving limits here are very, very strict. 2 to 3 beers and you're over it, which I understand as it impairs your driving. That being said, you're still capable of deciding whether or not you want to have sex perfectly. I live in a student city, going out, getting...

    Lazy INTP bum

    How could we disprove it when you don't have the slightest clue what it is? How can you be convinced of something you absolutely do not understand? These things aren't used widespread because they're not possible. For the sake of it : In quantum mechanics, bound systems usually have...

    Lazy INTP bum

    I'm sorry, but as far as I'm aware the majority of this video is complete garbage, bullshit, fiction. Zero point energy exists, it is the quantummechanic lowest energy level, which isn't always zero. This is unique to quantummechanics. However, as far as I'm aware nobody has ever been able to...

    Lazy INTP bum

    I don't think you can 'truly' get into science without going back to education. I do think you could certainly get into technical jobs, technician, mechanic, electrician, ... without (too much) education. As far as i'm aware, these jobs are suprisingly well-paid in most of western europe. I...

    Are you sure the Moon is a sphere?

    No, I think it belongs here in particular. I think that the OP was specifically asking whether or not we're smarter than our ancestors. I think that we're no diffrent from our ancestors intellectually, we only have more established theories and knowledge to learn from. Mindlessly repeating these...

    Are you sure the Moon is a sphere?

    That isn't what I said. As my last sentence states, it's fine to listen to others and consider what they have to say. They're a great source of inspiration. However, you have to confirm everything (or atleast everything you care about) for yourself. Just because you have to confirm what...

    Are you sure the Moon is a sphere?

    Is your ISP part of the anti piracy scheme?

    Belgian, so no issues with USA isp stuff. But I do use uni internet 24/7 which requires me to connect through VPN, and torrents / p2p is completely blocked. I can attest usenet is great as long as you have a proper search engine. Hell I can find stuff even torrents don't have, but it's not as...

    Psychonauts. Enlightenment or drug induced illusion of enlightenment?

    I've used shrooms, still no acid. I think alot of the ideas people in the psychedelic and psychonaut communities have are wrong. That being said, I do think psychedelics are truly mind-opening drugs, especially when used in the right setting. I don't think there is a long-lasting physical...

    Sorry if this is intrusive, but have you had a stable sexual relationship? Did this change anything how often you look at other women? (It's not going to stop, but it might atleast be controlable? :p)

    Experiences in Close Relationships Scale.

    1.4 on avoidance, 2.6 on anxiety. I think I'm reliant on my partner, but I'm fine alone as long as I know, in my head, that they're somewhere on this planet and I can reach them if I'd really need them. Somehow gives meaning to going through shitty stuff, and is quite nice this way.

    cultural indoctrination?

    Society doesn't determine what you do, but I'm convinced it'll always have some kind of influence. For some, this is to do as society tells them to, for others it causes them to break away. Either way, I think a certain extent of influence is undeniable.

    Absent Minded Professor (Anti Math)

    When I think of maths itself, it rarely involves much numbers. The only true exception, to me, is statistics. Statistics requires data, even tho it can be done quite parametric aswell. In my honest opinion, to understand the maths you should leave things parametric. Numbers are only useful...

    Climate Change discussion split from "2050"
