You said 'hey look it works in italy and some other places!', which I agreed with. Unfortunately, you completely ignored the fact that we're already past the point where we can offer the italian quality of life to the 7 billion inhabitants of this planet. You've acknowledged that you understand...

The birth rate and welfare across the world is pretty correlated. There is indeed stagnation in population growth in most welfare areas in the world. Unfortunately, we cannot offer 7 billion people this quality of life. We have already crossed the saturation point of our current technological...

I do not need to show that it is. A point of saturation is inevitable, helping everyone comes to an end, now or later. 7 billion humans, i'd say there's a good case for overpopulation just in that number. Why the fuck would we need 7 billion uncooperative monkeys each doing their own things...

The film wasn't too bad. I mean, sure, completely holiwood storyline, but I certainly liked the dystopia. In fact, it was more representative of our current reality than people might want to believe. While I agree, the question leads to : Where does all this end? When is the balance between...

And you take a drink aswell just to kill the pain a little?

A tiny beacon of sanity in a world of madness.

I definitely prefer it alone. It's safe as long as you realise it CAN make you feel worse and be hard to deal with if you're really high. It is fun. It's a bad habit if you're young, wait until you're as old as possible. Sometimes, it can. Don't you wish you could stop your brain from time to...

I just finished my third year of uni in belgium. I'll have my results sometime next week. So far I quite like it. The freedom is amazing. Generally speaking there's not alot of things I 'have' to do. It's getting worse as the years progress, but the first few years all you have to do is pass...

A complete diesel ban has pretty big economic consequences, making it entirely unpractical. Banning SUVs / fuel-eating cars would be a far better solution, but less practical. In all honesty, banning diesel completely would have giant economic consequences. I'm not sure how it goes for the...

If you have a proper exhaust with catalysts, much of the harms of diesel can be reduced. There are more and more laws to make diesel safer. There are much healthier uptake methods for nicotine and other substances that are often smoked. Vapourising / ecigs / pads / etc. Easy enough to do the...

Edit : I just realised I replied in the completely wrong thread... My bad =/ Sorry! WELCOME <:

For the sake of knowledge and in a futile attempt to do relationships right, I've watched most of the video. Some random thoughts. You said what INTP females dislike in other types (Exxx, xSxx, xxFx, xxxJ). I honestly can identify with most of these reasons, is there any diffrence here between...

As far as the topic goes, I agree. Altho I believe we should check up on GMO's, i'm not informed enough on bio to have an educated opinion. As to my own beliefs : No. I don't change my beliefs depending on what the circlejerk is thinking. However, I do notice that I enjoy questioning...

Hai They're less infuriating than narrow-minded individuals ;) Also, I agree that INTJ's aren't all too bad. Personally I seem to find xSxJ's far harder to deal with than xNxJ's...

I haven't bothered watching the entire video. I get annoyed watching peoples speaking videos... It's so much slower than just reading, and requires me to turn off music. It's so forced into their pace. Someone transcribe what she says or tell me what's so special <: I've currently fallen for...

Chad, worry if you lack empathy to those close to you. Why would I feel bad over a horrible but swift death of... a couple of people in bombings or shootings miles away from me when children die for various reasons in some corner of the earth at all times. It's not that I don't care about...

Have you signed up for Mars One yet? :D Body gets donated to medicine / science by default. The rest of it, burn it or burry it or do something fancy, doesn't really matter to me. Hell, if you're all REALLY hungry, you can even eat me for all I like. (once i'm dead ofcourse. And it'll be...

SpaceYeti, just how far in are you? :p Where did you get so far?

We definitely need a spoiler system for this. Personally, I don't think your statement is fair / true SpaceYeti. I can't really judge on the series. The series are indeed more hollywood fashion and perhaps sexualised. However, as far as the books go, I think there are plenty of important...

I'd say my activation energy is higher, and my relaxation time lower. These speeches make me think 'well maybe i'll get out of my chair', and they might have me do something productive for a while, but it definitely won't last weeks. In fact, if this is the only motivator for me to do...

By all means, you're right and I wasn't trying to hide that. I realise I still draw an arbitrairy line - puberty. My argument of age was merely to indicate that 18 is stupid, since most people are sexually active before that age regardless. In truth, I don't see the diffrence with certain...

There's no obvious pattern in the tiles on which she walks in the first 3 seconds of the video. I'll bet on the 1% ;D Just kidding. Seems plausible.

Because it stems from an arbitrairy line based on age which is not universally accepted : age of consent goes from 12 (japan) to 18 (usa) as far as i'm aware. Pedophilia is often linked with rape, which is clearly bad, but if it is consentual by both sides... I do not see why this is diffrent...

I'll give you 5$ if you can make up a universal system/ method that does not require the use of any constant and is more convenient than actually simply using a constant. As far as rounding goes, evaluating your expressions numerically as little as possible solves most of the problem. I...

I think that's all pretty accurately defined. If you think that's super random,this is the definition of a second : this is one meter : The true definition doesn't matter. What matters is that it's universal, easy to use and preferably well-defined. Unlike gallons, which seem to differ...

You have a point, but I think we'd eventually get used to it? I'd say the imperial system proves that we can easily get used to various units, and once we get a feel for them make proper guestimates. A thirteen-based radial system would still seem less arbitrairy than inches, feet and miles...

It's all good. If the world was aware howmuch HCl is required for the mass production of nylon, they may just not use it in absolutely everything. I'm fairly certain dupont produces more HCl on a yearly basis than all the HCl that was used as a human poison, including the holocaust.

So technically a 13 base radial system? May be a bitch as far as the 13 base goes, but I'd say it's pretty neat whenever you're using anything involving sine and his little brothers. Might not be so bad, really :o

That answer was strangely satisfying. You don't seem to mind one bit about us putting Exxx, xSxx, xxFx and xxxJ types to the torch en masse to acquire this goal. :phear: Therefor, you've passed any tests I could put you up to. You may roam freely in INTP-land.

Imagine INTPs were the norm of a society. They were to be everywhere, and were considered as example. Not fitting in would be to deviate from the norm. What would bother you most in this hypothetical society? (Or, to paraphrase, what will be hardest to deal with once we take over the world?)

You asked why there are serveral equations which describe an electron, I stated that this doesn't matter as long as these equations are constistent with one another. However, as far as electrons interacting with one another goes : Electrons do indeed self-interfere as part of their wave...

@Absurdity Thanks for the link. I just noticed he'd been banned again, but never really batted an eye at the thread you linked so I wasn't aware. I suppose I should read more! Oh own8ge -if you ever read this- When will you learn to control those emotions. I'm not happy to say, but that was a...

So own8ge got banned again. Any info anyone? I mean, he was trying slightly too hard, but that's not technically a crime, I'd say.

How is that two diffrent things?

I'm always lured in by the subjects of your posts, but I can never make anything of them. Could you perhaps try sentences? :x Whatever you're trying to say, I can't make sense of it. What's wrong with there being serveral equations which can be used to describe an electron as long as they're...

Seriously the continual usage of imperial units is beyond my comprehension. All the sane parts of the world already use metric anyway... This absurd imperialism must come to swift and permanent end. I didn't come into contact with the imperial system until I started playing pokemon, but I...

I guess I'll try. Until monday morning to study : -experiments leading to QM / duality of light and matter -postulates of QM -solving dynamic schrödinger equation for simple potentials & some random proofs and side thoughts -solving dynamic schrödinger equation for hydrogen and single electron...

I believe some of the truths you stated are true. I believe some others are overgeneralisations in an attempt to come off as shocking. ;) Personally, I like what happens when you deny people and their 'causes' that they work for. I like to break down what they find important and work for...

@Architect : Tranches seem fairly accurate. What I think I meant and tried to point out was the huge dominance of 'S' types, which strike me as narrowminded. (Or atleast, if you say anything that doesn't fit in their worldview, you're wrong and they won't accept discussion cause you're clearly...

I completely agree, with the last line too. Honestly, a benevolent dictatorship would be much more efficient than our current democratic bureaucracies. But how would we find one that's up for the task, and how do we protect ourselves from harm? If a dictator conquered the world (by force...

Killing supply routes / manufacturing is definitely a valid tactic, both in war games and in actual war. I think the only reason we've moved to civilian targets (in actual wars) is due to the emotional investment, the cost of raising humans and the fear it creates. Fighting for goldmines and...

I'm in my third year of studying chemical engineering. (Doing the last finals for my bachelor now, starting my master in september) What you say about bragging is true. It happens, quite often. At the same time, I must say that the course is simply harder more valued by the industry than many...

You're both E and F? Madness. Oh, and hai. :elephant:

I don't think it's fair to say games are a waste of time. Same goes with fiction reading. As long as you're enjoying yourself playing a game, reading a book, procrastinating on this forum, ..., it's never truly a waste of time, regardless of howmuch time you spend. Is having someone you love...

I think you should share your pictures! Ofcourse nothing personal, but if you have landscapes or photos you could share, do so. It'd be the easiest way for people good at photography to give you further advice. (Which is, ahem, not me.)

You're not 'diagnosed' INTP, it's not an illness. You're just one of us. Slightly weird to the social norm? Perhaps, but that's because we're a minority, not because we're cray. (Ok, I admit, we might be slighly crazy.)

@Architect or anyone else up for it... Would you be willing to give a basic and simple explenation of the concept of time according to special relativity? Feel free to do general relativity if you're up for it, but I think that one is alot tougher, and I probably don't entirely understand it...

I'm not aware if you have or haven't, but I think you should start by trying to understand the principles of special and general relativity. I think the thought experiments often used to derive and explain special relativity are very understandable given some time and thought, even for those...

Opera > both of them. It used to be far better in the past. I'm not as convinced anymore, but it's definitely not remarkably worse I'd say. Google just bothers me pushing into google+, google drive, google everything-fucking-else. Gave up on firefox as it tended to crash on me... Also opera...

//Part2. We need more spam-peoples-wall space! (Note : Obviously the earth isn't perfectly in equilibrium, but I think you know what I mean by equilibrium, a definition that implies that both movements and accelerations are possible in an equilibrium state) As to the universe, that would...
