Yes. It's quite interesting. There are no reported physical side effects from it, but heavy users have been known to have non-drug-induced trips decades after they stop using LSD. And sometimes (like Frank Olson) people end up dying anyway. But hallucinogens (LSD, LSA, BZ, etc) fascinate me...

Yes, sorry. I was confused. SW

Are you comparing Holden Caulfield with Socrates? (Sorry, I hated Holden, but I do admire Socrates). SW

own8ge reminded me of Holden Caulfield. SW

I like spiders. @Perfectly Normal Beast, I was surprised that LSD had such little effect on the spiderweb. I was expecting an oddly shaped one. SW

Oh, the priest collar, you mean? Yes, I've watched Sherlock. Good luck with the LSD, I suppose. Try not to use it too much – there are long-term effects. On the other hand, maybe not. Check out the spider thread. SW

I'm going to try not to make a pun out of "derailing," but @DelusiveNinja, once you memorize the map/streets, you will never be lost again. It is really worth it. SW

Cool avatar. What does The Woman have between her teeth? Also I noticed you talking about LSD. I don't use drugs, but they fascinate me and I've used silkroad just to learn about them. Get tor browser first, though. It hides your IP address pretty reliably, I believe. SW

Interesting question. I have excellent long term memory, as I naturally use techniques (similar to synesthesia) that allow me to view dates and facts spatially. I have also taught myself memory-palace techniques, which also came rather easily. When I started secondary school, I saw a girl whom...

Me, too (luckily for my brother, who never bothered learning the departure times)! The buses to get me to school on time now come at 07:07, 07:21 and 07:30 To get home: 17:15, 17:23, 19:50 (club days) When I lived in NYC: A train: 07:21; 1 train, 07:48. I had my own tile to wait on for...

I have pretty poor eyesight (something like 20/80 or 20/100), but I wear glasses which correct my sight to 20/20. My right eye is better than my left (although I am left-handed). I've had glasses since I was nine. I am trying to start wearing contacts, but my eyes are very sensitive, and it has...

I have always had a fascination with timepieces. I love the steady sound, the appearance (and how it's changed over the decades/centuries), and the practicality. I wear a rubber sports-type digital watch. It's comfortable, convenient, and doesn't get in the way. I also have a collection of...

The keys are actually a good idea – the rapist might not pick up on the possibility of using them as a weapon, and then you'd have the element of surprise. Unfortunately, I tend to leave my keys at home (my brother always carries his, so I don't really need mine). I'll try to get into a habit of...

To get to and from school, I have to walk through a bad part of town. I always carry a knife, but I've never had a problem. However, I'd have no qualms about stabbing a rapist if I had to. SW

I just finished reading Endymion yesterday, and although it was predictable, I really enjoyed it. I find that when I read his works, I end up in a sort of trance, where nothing else is happening except for the words. Does anyone else read and/or like Keats? What are your favourite...

You said that you were not a native English speaker, but your location is Canada. What is your native language?

Mum: Irish (1/2) Welsh (1/4) Dutch (1/8) Iroquois (1/8) Dad: Galician (1/2) Bavarian (1/4) Polish (1/4) I'm also Jewish, but I "look" Celtic. Race has never much mattered to me, but I am interested in genealogy. SW

Hello, I am an INTP. When I figure out the solution to a puzzle or a problem, I get this feeling like pieces are all clicking together, accompanied with (probably) dopamine. I tend to get really excited and energetic (not like me at all) for a short time, then relax again. "Awesome" is probably...

Keats. Endymion and other stuff. And Discworld. And The Night Circus. SW

Ah, hello! Are you a EAP fan? I am. Care to discuss his brilliant works? SW

What's wrong with madness? In all seriousness, do you truly think that philosophy can be dangerous if the interested party is too young? I started philosophizing with my intellectual friend at around 14 – discussing Time, the definition of Life, and other such things. I defined life and came up...

Oh. Clever of me. Still a clue? @Jennywocky, that's true, I do remember several of what people thought were fake IDs. Could he be dead? SW

Really? @higs, I don't even remember an argument (and it's been more than 2 months!). He just left. There is a missing persons thread for snafu (I think it's in "General"); maybe you could get some info there. Is there any chance he did kill himself? My hypothesis: The answer is in his avatar –...

I usually like subtitles. With anime, I don't really care whether it has subtitles or it's dubbed over, but I hate when foreign movies are dubbed over – it seems like cheating. However, it's sometimes good for a laugh. However, in bilingual shows like Arab Labour/شغل عرب/עבודה ערבית (does...

I always draw with pencil and I rarely use colours. I usually listen to music when I draw – it helps motivate me. I take some paper, turn on the radio, and sketch in details as I draw, as opposed to making an outline and then filling it in with details. I usually draw vehicles, or landscapes...

Same score, same explanation. SW

Regarding chocolate... INTP: Coffee INTJ: Dark ISFP: White ESTP: Milk SW

Why would a psychopath want to be "cured"? Why not just cure Everyone Else? SW

She's not lying, but it's, well... weird, not to mention more than a bit idiotic. I sometimes give some change to really talented street performers, but that's about it. When I lived in New York City, there was a man at 42nd St (the A line, if I remember correctly) who would sing along with...

In Hungary, I believe, women, men and inanimate objects are all referred to as "it" (in Hungarian, obviously). Sorry to continue in the derailing of this thread, but I thought you might be interested. I can mostly relate to the lack of empathy a sociopath supposedly shows. I like myself and am...

Sarcasm? As I said, I'm no expert. BTW, I was answering Pizzabreak's first question, not his latest post. And you're able to see more in a dark room over time because your pupils open to let in more light. SW

2 ideas from no expert: 1. Entropy of the object itself. 2. Element colour. (iron is red, copper is green, cobalt is blue, etc) SW

For quite a long time I thought I was an ISTJ (this was before I started learning about typology – I'd seen it referenced somewhere and typed myself). I don't think I changed, though, I just think I was uninformed. When I am stressed, or it will be helpful to me, I sometimes still act like an...

I love the question. Are you asking us if we like being around confusing people, or if we like causing the confusion? I vote "no" for no. 1 and "at times" for no. 2. SW

Yes, I agree. I've never played Shogun 2 – I'll try to do some at some point. SW

Some of these "dumb" things are quite important. The methane emissions of dairy cows could save this planet. Also, your sources are blogs and tabloids. SW

I've played Rome and Empire. I prefer Empire. SW

Same here. I already have a Hebrew thread going (in Lounge). Maybe you should start there, please? I don't think anyone reads it, and I wish people would. Arabic is lots of fun, but quite difficult. If you want to learn Russian, this is my favourite place: www.russianforeveryone.com. SW

If Holden Caufield was supposed to have written The Catcher in the Rye (which he was – it was in first person), I cannot see him as being a genius. SW

Is it available for Mac? SW

I got 5-6-4. I suppose that makes me 5w6. SW

Well, the problem is the difference between no entropy (absolute 0?) and negative entropy. I.e, what is the opposite of the integer 5, -5 or 0? SW

I have only listened to version no 2. It is fantastic – thanks for sharing! Mine is quite different from yours (and not as good IMO) but it should be posted soon. SW

INTP, LII, 5w4 I find that this (which I experience frequently) is becoming a problem for me: "Everything that has been understood by him seems to be very clear and uninteresting. Only for a short time he is capable of admiring the result he has obtained, for soon after there appears a sense of...

That's a good point. It's funny isn't it – how intellectualisation/rationalisation is meant to be used as a coping mechanism, but has the opposite effect? SW

I just watched Regarding Henry (Harrison Ford, 1991). My mother, who loves awful movies, convinced me to watch it with her, but I could not make it through. It was horrible and pointless, although it was good for a few laughs. SW

I spend time at Spanish-speaking places for Spanish. I lived in the USA for a while, and it was easier there. I recommend going to a Spanish website and trying to decipher what you can, then translating it to English (try wikipedia). As for Russian, russianforeveryone.com is a great website...

OK, that makes sense. I should've clarified. My grandfather had all his senses except smell. I don't know if there is any person who does not have any senses, but this is theoretical anyway, so it does not matter. Anyway, how would this hypothetical person be in "dreamland"? I like what you say...

Hello from a fellow ~16-year-old INTP. I am interested in languages as well – I find that they are like codes, and other languages can be used to break those codes. For example, did you know that Gaelic and Russian actually have a lot in common? I speak English and Hebrew, and am currently...
