    Intelligence is specialization

    - You seem to have arbitrarily declared the latter half another "side" simply because it is listed that way. They could be ordered in any way, and as I showed you can still conform to your constraints without solving the problem. - Mine already does show that they cancel out, because they...

    Intelligence is specialization

    @clockwork Let me try to explain again. - You are measuring the strength of the nodes, and saying that weakening (or "ignoring" or "limiting") one allows another to be stronger. So as nodes are added or removed, strength is redistributed. - You assign an intelligence value based on the...

    Fuck off with "you may not use stereotyping". Typing=stereotyping

    I don't know what this thread is about anymore. If you acknowledge that stereotyping has a negative definition, why should we fuck off with "you may not use stereotyping"? What makes you think anyone is referring to your alternate definition?

    Intelligence is specialization

    You will definitely need to explain that better. More importantly, give which, if any, existing models do fit your constraint... and if none do, propose a new one. My example was deliberately unspecific and contrived, but I don't see how it couldn't apply to real models. For example, someone...

    Fuck off with "you may not use stereotyping". Typing=stereotyping

    "Typing=stereotyping" -- semantics. Stereotyping has a negative connotation; it implies prejudice. To put it in strictly "Ti-logical-categorizing" terms for you: a stereotype is a description of a subcategory applied to a larger category. Hint: there are more than 16 types of people.

    Intelligence is specialization

    It's an extreme to demonstrate the problem that exists across the entire spectrum. Other scenarios will not result in the two people being exactly equal, but it will still change the relationship. Without consistent measurement units, any value is meaningless. Yes, that's the point. You can...

    Intelligence is specialization

    It's not irrelevant. If you won't define a model then your theory is meaningless, because it's intrinsically dependent on the amount/distribution of intelligence types. Supposing 8 "options", consider a "balanced" person to a specialist (percentages are the degree to which they "ignore all...

    The School System

    I have never seen any pre-schooled child who is not in a near-constant state of enthusiastically questioning and learning. It is only after their institutionalization that their attitudes change. What is there that we can't function without, yet its lack would not be self-evident that we...

    Intelligence is specialization

    Well, you're talking about intended to be perceived (by audience) as an accurate portrayal versus actually perceived (by self) as an accurate portrayal which is a more subtle difference, sure. But neither apply here, because it was never presented as accurate whatsoever.

    Intelligence is specialization

    ^ Speaking of missing critical details: a strawman is a misrepresentation that is intended to be perceived as an accurate portrayal. So no, it wasn't, because there was no deception; the fact that it was a misrepresentation was expected to be obvious to both participants and the audience. It was...

    Intelligence is specialization

    It was practically the opposite of a strawman, because if it was an accurate representation of what you were arguing, his position would have been disproved. Remember, his position is that you are not actually contradicting each other. It's not "this is what you're arguing"; it's "this is what...

    Pearson-Marr Archetype test (unofficial free version)

    Blarraun's post's "implied" connection to MBTI was only through its reference to your own post, which in turn was founded on your misinterpretation of CC's post. Neither CC or Blarraun were saying what you thought they were. You completely constructed the illusion of confusion out of your own.

    These are from YTMND in case anyone doesn't know. YTMND in general relies a lot on referential / interrelated humor, and each individual "joke" only lasts a few seconds. As a stand-alone 10-minute compilation, it doesn't really work. lol

    Music in your head.

    No, you're reading far too much into what I said. I have only commented on one specific aspect: the position, relative to total duration, of what is someone's focal point in a piece of music -- this is an extraneous detail. :ahh04:

    Music in your head.

    While some people may find different parts notable, I don't think the position in relation to the rest of the music is an aspect that informs the preference... so you can't extrapolate something like "they have a greater interest in how things turn out". One person may focus on the beginning of...

    No he isn't. So working for someone for the sole purpose of money is for dumb people? Agreed. But doesn't your solution also involve setting up a system for the sole purpose of money?

    No, I'm only indoctrinated just enough to think it can be a viable option. Although again, "having a job" isn't well-defined and I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I don't have time to look at that in detail now, but this looks like one of those loathsome people who make...

    Jobs and salary are for dumb people.

    I think you need to clearly define what it is dumb, because it seems like "jobs and salaries" isn't mutually exclusive with what you've given as the alternative. Also, I'm not so sure that this idea is "quite popular on the internet", rather than that the sort of people who make their living...

    Why is money a number

    In practice we can't take everything already decided into consideration when setting a price. I'm only making the point that something doesn't need to be an independently measurable quantity in order to be treated mathematically.

    Why is money a number

    Mathematics doesn't need values. Everything can be algebraic equations. You just need a group of people to agree on the relationship between values. If you agree to do job A for 2 hours if someone will do job B for 1 hour then 2a = b. The next week they agree that you can do a half hour of job C...
