They are uncomfortable with people they can't understand or relate to. They fear what is different. They are traditional people that are unwilling to accept anything outside their narrow world-view. No hear me out guys. See they can't deal with the fact that something like gender, which they...

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/02/us/las-vegas-shooting-live-updates.html Guess he really didn't like country music.

So anyway, since there is always drama when someone who has been here awhile gets banned, I expected there to be drama and stuff from this, but no one seems to care. This is the thread where we can (if you let it) discuss why. *puts on Freud's glasses and smokes pipe*

So let's say you take a disc or sphere and on the thrust side of the ship you have electromagnetic coils. So you could take the following and take those electromagnetic coils, but direct them downward so that the magnetic field induced by the electric current is faced downward at your thrust...

Has anyone done this? I'd like to take the shell of a small car and put an efficient electric motor in it and then line the body of the car with solar panels. I can't find any good resources for doing this however. I did find a website where they sell some electric conversion kits for select...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room Couldn't find this on here. But I came across it and want to see what people think. Is a computer that translates consciousness from a set of rules, procedures, logic, and/or directives conscious? Is it any different from a human being? My...

Okay, so we're all stranded on an island and have no way to contact anyone for help. No one has even been near this island in hundreds of years and there's no food on it. There are some trees and you can build a raft to sail away from the island, but that will take time and you need to eat to...

Anyone get one? I happened upon one by mistake and have wanted to buy it, so I did. Seems there's only one game out right now, but Zelda is a surprisingly good game. It's like Dark Souls 3 in an open world made for exploration. You can pick up the weapons off dead enemies and items break...

I want to stop posting on all social media, but sometimes I just want to talk to people about stuff that I can't in my actual life. So it never works out. So how do I reconcile my addiction with being a social monkey like most of the rest of the human race, yet desiring to not be a part of it...

Seriously, what's the point?

Do you have values?

So this forum is probably pretty nerdy, heh . So I've used this for the longest time and freaking love it - https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Natural-Ergonomic-Keyboard-4000/dp/B000A6PPOK. But I need something smaller, less than 18 inches, like a half-size keyboard,,, that's wireless...

Just wondering, if say you had some disease and you knew what day you were going to die from it, how would you choose to go? I'm not talking about how you spend the remaining days of your life, but how you want to actually die. I want to drive a supercar full of explosives into a wall. Or fly...

I got 3 extra copies (huge discount) and the people around me won't play. Anyone want to play? You need to use steam though.

So, since I got interested in personality theory, I've been to different sites. Just wondering what impression people get from them. Feel free to remove or add your own. typologycentral - hypercritical socionics 16 type forum - elitist personality cafe - popularity contest intpforum -...

just wondering what people have to say about, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_dollar_riddle Three people check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to...

Was thinking about how religion tends to provide answers, whereas philosophy tends to provide questions in place of answers, and how that's conflicted with a lot of religions. For example, Satan in Christianity is often depicted as having a philosophic mindset, as if philosophers are a threat to...

I need to experiment more. Vodka + Seltzer + Lime + a little lemon juice = heaven for me

Okay, so let's an INTP was appointed as an absolute ruler. They had no choice in the matter and no one seems to be against their appointment as a ruler either. What kind of ruler would such an INTP be? What are the possibilities and why would you say so? Genuinely curious what people would...

So I've decided it's about time I get into investing, but I need some good ways to get loads of information on how a company is run, its financials, historical reports, as well as employee relations and what not. Not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but anyone have some recommendations?

So I had a thought, humor me. Let's say there is an Aether and that photons make up that Aether. We could imagine a sea of photons that fill in the space of matter and also surround it. Then when we transmit a photon across a vacuum, what would really be happening is not that the photon travels...

Has anyone seen this show? I think it's really funny. I don't know if people relate to this humor, but I love it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGqs2przXlg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFnLIGp6zGs

So there's a car...or motorcycle that's supposed to come out in 2015. It's projected price is $6800, it gets 80+ miles to the gallon (something like 4 cents a gallon at $3.50 per gallon), has a top speed of 100 mph, and has all the stuff that a car has. It's also supposed to be crash test safe...

I heard an argument the other day that a fetish is anything that turns a person on that is also out of the ordinary of what people are attracted to. So it was said that homosexuality is then a fetish. And it sounds stupid, but at the same time it makes sense because a fetish is a vague term...

I couldn't find a thread in the search and am a little surprised now (so if there is one, nevermind this thread). But how do you all view this dichotomy? I'm wondering if there is even any kind of relative consensus.

Why did the alien engineer want to kill humanity? I'm curious what you all gathered from it and would like to compare to what I got from it.

So there's a horrible storm. Anyone that enters the storm is pretty much guaranteed to die. And you have a vehicle, but it can only fit one other person in it with one as the driver (you). Now the love of your life is in the storm's path (and this person is in love with you), along with a...

Hello, as the title says, I'd be very interested in seeing how you all describe or understand yourselves without having to relate everything to a function. If people respond, I will too, but not now. And sorry if I don't reply; I don't have much time anymore to spend on the internet and...

Alright, so I want to pick your brain and see what you say. Let's say you could be a leader of a country and you could organize your government in any way that you wanted. How would you feel compelled to lead and why? How would you justify the type of government you set in place? And you can...

So I was trying to finish one of my investing books and it happened on a summarized quote from a philosopher I had not paid much attention too, but it seemed to illustrate a good point that I've never been able to explain well to allow a discussion. So the quote was that we live forward, but...

I don't know why, but I want to do something like this. http://www.instructables.com/id/Mobile-Desktop/ or this http://www.instructables.com/id/Briefcase-PC-Mod/ Anyone ever done anything like this? I think it would be fun because it would be like making a laptop, but for much cheaper...

I could use some recommendations for psychological horror books. I prefer books that get into the introspection of someone's mind in a horrifying setting. I'm going to try this one. The Collector - John Fowles The Collector (Back Bay Books): John Fowles: 9780316290234: Amazon.com...

Good Night INTPenises. Do it. :aufsmaul:

What would it be?

So I was thinking, since everyone is interested in typology, but find MBTI somewhat theoretically ambiguous, would you all welcome periodic discussions on Jungian stuff? I was thinking I could post chapters/sections/excerpts from psychological types and see what people think about it. What...

Some people have been complaining that the forum is dying...so it must be true! How can we save the sinking ship? What would you recommend? :kodama1: Inappropriate Behavior Alice? Kuu Lyra

I just realized there is no sad face emoticon. Is it because the sad emoticon will make all the other emoticons sad? Is it happy propaganda? why why why?

If you want, you can either rank the descriptions or just say which ones apply to you and which ones really don't. Description One Description Two Description Three Description Four

Let's say you have an object known as "changeling". It's called this because the object seems to change dynamically within itself, constantly changing between one of many complex and hard to define states. Then let's say someone wants to study this object in order to understand it. They want to...

What would you say?

Someone mentioned something today about there being different kinds of gender roles and now I'm curious, as it explained all my identity issues with gender and sex. But maybe most people don't have these issues; I don't know. What gender identity are you? Here's a link with a lot of different...

Often, people will suggest on here, using one form of argument or another, that life has no objective meaning. But I wonder, if they don’t know what that objective meaning is from the start, they wouldn’t know what they are looking for and then how can they know it doesn’t exist just because...

On a scale of 1 to 5, where 3 is the middle, and increments are in .5: 1 - completely sane. You have little to no anxiety in your life and rarely, if ever, feel insecure about yourself. Any anxiety you do feel is always positive. 2 - somewhat sane. Occasionally, anxiety will surface for...

nevermind.

Naturally, all governments attempt to create systems of how human beings will operate with one another. But when I get right down to it, government tries to define how we should be collectively, in order so that we can know how to act individually. In a lot of ways, all governments are about...
