I want to believe 2012 marks beginning of a new era when people start to wake up in masses, it's already ongoing exponentially, 2012 would be sort of singularity of this in a way. Ofc this brings all sorts of side effects, no doomsday tho :p

How i like to abstract dopamine and serotonin is that dopamine is your alertness/thinking and serotonin is your mood/balance. Too low serotonin and your thoughts are all over the place and maybe dwell on some of the thought too much causing anxiety and depression. Also serotonin helps with sleep...

Does it matter if it's placebo until you believe it is? :p On more serious note, yes i take supplement that has huge array of other substances including niacin. You also need lot's of b6 vitamine to convert 5-htp to serotonin :) Oh and yes, i had meeting today and anxiety usually comes with it...

I'v been taking several vitamins and 5-htp now for 5 days for my mild depression and low energy, amazing stuff :) My mood and energy lift has been noticeable, every consecutive day has been better than the last, i don't feel like putting on a mask when i go for work like i used to, actually...

It's more like old thing, for me anyways, and that wasn't the point. I admit it was poor example, also topic should have been more like: What do you think about sarcastic jokes, especially towards you? and how much could you take it?

What's with the lame jokes when with group of friends? My mind is always working to understand things and when i hear jokes like "he drank all the booze" when in all actuality i didn't even took a taste. All i could say is "right", cant seem to find anything funny in that when my mind concludes...

I have similar problems but way wors, i'm not depressed or sad, bit bored maybe. If this continues i'll become no more than a thinking head. Lot of times i just feel there's no point playing games anymore and need to find my own meaning instead of these society values. Yes, it sounds bit...

Thanks Awaken, i love it :D Seen flatland used to explain higher dimensions before but this is something else.

These are sure to make someone happy, enjoy :)

Excellent :) I sometimes feel humanity as a whole is growing like individual would and is in it's teen years, confused and trying to find itself.

Edit: Too bad you cant correct typo in the title, oh well it's not relevant anyway :) Thought i could share videos to shake you guys a bit and give different perspectives that i myself have explored. These are not for the close minded and should not be taken as something effecting how we...

So true, to be more precise it would be boredom not in that you can't do anything but in that there's nothing else to discover and contemplate on. If that happens, even a feared spider would be interesting to fiddle with in hopes of something new.

Bit tired and lazy so in short. I agree on lot what you said, but when i'm alone i enjoy feeling strong positive emotions, maybe i just need to vent after hard day of bottling up.

I'v been wondering if other INTPs feel strong emotions and bottle them up like i do? If true then it could be asked if we act on our thinking because we have milder emotions that can be easily discarded or do we have emotions too strong to be acted upon or showed as we would want to? I feel...

When debate get's too emotional and one side starts to lose touch on the conversation then i feel it starts to resemble arguing. Argument and arguing is very different, where argument is one opposing idea in a debate and arguing more like what i pictured above. Edit: Now that i think more about...

'Rerailed' Let's come up with topic for this thread so we can derail it again.

Any conversation parther is good when he/she is able to chance your view about something or add perspective, point out holes in your logic or just concur and solidify an idea. For INTP ofc :)

Conspiracy theory warning!

Now that you noticed forum being slower it just get's even slower because it disrupts your thoughts and pulls you into present where everything happens slow and boring. Time flies when imagination flies and the feeling that smacks you in the face when you notice page not loading is very...

That makes total sense because when i was younger and more outward i had huge fights with him to the point of me making him resort to violence so he can be right. Some of it sure is teen rage and all that, but i always where more stable than usual kids, i sometimes just felt i was so right that...

Well his my stepfather who's seen lots of hardship and has chronic pains because of hard physical work he still does. I have had many conflicts with him even in adulthood, we are like day and night. He has good hearth and so much improved upon what he once was. He likes to talk about his...

<- Superiority complex, i can prove it by telling i'm not sure if i actually am superior to people i know. Fear not, i'm Benevolent and not too far off thanks to logic :angel01: In this forum above isn't an issue.

In movies and series the genius is always the most interesting character. So let's list some good movies, series or even anime with geniuses or in other ways very intelligent characters. No death note! way too obvious ;) I start with Walter Bishop from Fringe, awesome character. Half crazy...

This guy is very intelligent with unique perspective on life partly because of the prison and all the ups and downs, lucky dude not having to play by the rules. Just not fit to society or even wants to be fit, so don't release him, should be obvious. Not evil person in my mind, not the most...

Trust your intuition on this one, if your confident enough that you are 5w6 you steer towards it if not already true. Elasticy of human mind and self conditioning trough believes you see ;) Interesting test, i took a peek on the types and concluded i'm 5w9 then took free test and surprisingly...

Now i feel sense of accomplishment in that i lured you out of the bushes and broke your silence, there's no going back anytime soon. You often engage in this self destructive behavior? I kid ofc :)

You can tell that their not used to be on camera or center of the attention and seems they don't have that many friends around them, just few close connections. Seeming extroversion could be just learned ability in face of their popularity, being themselves made them popular, it's not hard to...

Something interesting happened today at work as one of my co-workers went to a window and said "Oh come look guys..." ofc i started to think there's something truly amazing and then he continued "There's car accident, police... plah plah". There's lot of people there and everyone, one by one...

Your right, i can admit i don't have very good understanding of mbti yet. I just wanted to know :D

Imagine group of people getting to the point where they can share their idea with this new language, wouldn't be long until everyone follows as it's too huge and beneficial to pass. Languages are outdated and haven't really evolved at all, just the opposite.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithkuil Never been interested of learning languages, but this is something i would take on if there was people able to use it. I hate the fact that languages limit our sharing of ideas, even thought and have had grand ideas of creating language like this to ease...

I think Simon is INTP and Lewis is INTJ These guys are very witty and compliment each other perfectly, Simon comes up with imaginative ideas and Lewis finds ways to implement them. They seem to not care about general beliefs or authority much. Very inspirational guys. What you guys think?

People are weird with their irrational habits especially in teen age. When i think about my school years all i can say it's hard to be only sane person in sight ;) Believe in yourself more, others will catch up eventually. Just... don't get arrogant. Gossip you see and hear is mostly very...

I feel this way sometimes. I like to stay home most of the time and friends come and visit me often, this is safe heaven for many of my friends when they just want to relax. Not long ago i had to tell them that i need more time of my own, guess i have more friends than i would like. I would...

Interesting game, bit too easy to figure out how to win against computer, but i can see how it would be fun with another player.

Think we are not far from reverse-engineering human ball joint artificially, it's material question and carbon nanotubes as bones would work great. I like how evolution has found so ingenious solutions already, like using pressured fluid so that 2 parts of the joint wont make contact, kinda...

Oh, very nice, had to take it to photoshop and zoom in to verify.

I created imaginary worlds that i then turned in to games with rules, then i would draw outlines of it on paper and play :p I was very young. I still have almost all those papers and it's fun to just browse trough them :) Some of them i can't even understand anymore.

I see your point, there is always ignorance and distortion of ideas. Haha, i can imagine physicists trying to hold peoples escalating ideas at bay and rooted in reality when this new kind of twisted religion would start to emerge. :D Some of this can already be seen actually. Can't tell if it's...

When combining spirituality and quantum mechanics you get 'we are all one' kinda notion and that reminds me about budhism that in it's core is philosophy, so i don't see any new harmful religion coming out of this all. If it really turns out we need observer in all practicality to explain the...

Thanks for your input guys. I realised that i have know actually quite well what intuition is, but never tryed to imagine explaining it and then i got confused somewhere, ugh, my head :confused: Random thought: Don't you think it's very frustrating when taking another perspective in...

Problems in these test are very similar from test to test so it would seem you could train yourself to be better at them. I wouldn't put much weight on the results, all i can conclude from this test is how good i'm solving it :rolleyes: I like doing these sometimes as a sort of game almost...

Tool-Vicarious(HD) - YouTube

Same for me, but when i think about something trivial like random details on the site it starts to snap other direction and may even get bit stuck. Very weird :) Oh and it seems to be posted October 09, 2007, could be much older than that.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/right-brain-v-left-brain/story-e6frf7jo-1111114603615 This was fun little test i'v seen before, but again found it by accident. It was clockwise for me initially and then i found out that by looking at the side(right and up worked for me) and picturing it turning...

Half-Life: The East Accident - Official Teaser - YouTube This will explain what it's all about, but still wont explain what's in the box tho. Also is this going to be full feature movie or turn out to be elaborate hoax?, i dont know, atleast it would need legal rights from valve :confused:

www.ted.com Many of you probably already know about this. Site is amazing and i'v taken it as a habit to watch all the talks :p Gives nice view of direction we as a spieces are heading with technology and understanding of the world, also sparks imagination like crazy :D If you didnt know about...

I think at the core it's just that atleast for me i only tend to say something if i have something worthwhile and interesting to say, and i have set the bar for interesting too high. Going to try that actually, start conversations or get in to one even tho it seems uninteresting at first :)...

Been there too mate, maybe not to that extend :slashnew: I occasionally smoke pot, but i had my time when i overindulged a bit. Pot seems to strengthen the disconnect many INTPs feel sometimes, especially if you have no like-minded people around you.

This thread is way off topic, or was there clear topic to begin with :storks:
