I found this site, written by an INTP, helpful: Personality Junkie

Hello, Cognisant, glad you're still here. :) @ eagor : Thank you.

@ ProxyAmenRa : I left here in 2010 for personal reasons. I enjoyed the conversations and many of the people. @ Solitaire U. : Thank you. @ thehabitatdoctor : Basically, after self-induced isolation with which to pursue some paths in depth, as well as experiment with some other avenues, I...

Yes, I've returned. After long forays into various avenues, I considered it nigh time to reconnect with the outer worlds. "The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth." - Albert Camus "A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing." - Albert Camus "In order to...

Open architecture, more than likely in an urban area. Simple and easy to maintain. Lots of space and bookshelves. [link to more images]

I'm not here to argue over the finer points of a quote in my signature. I would rather debate the question of 'altruism', but that seems to be derailed.

Actually, Adevism is Atheism... The quote in my signature is by George Santayana, not Spinoza. Santayana was a philosophical atheist who preferred to refer to himself as an 'aesthetic Catholic', though his philosophical views were atheistic. Santayana was a materialist and a naturalist, but...

Because "Why?" implies investigation.

Because "Why?" or because "Why not?"?

The obvious answer would be, "Why not?", thus posing the question. "When?".

Parents of children, whether human or otherwise, will sacrifice themselves for their children; as example, birds which will fake injury on the ground in the presence of a predator in order to distract the predator from the nest. This is not altruistic, rather it points toward the survival of the...

Impossible. The definition of altruism is: When one decides that one shall act in a way labeled 'altruistic', it is a decision made by one's self and therefore done for a reason or reasons of and for one's self. There is a motive of the self prompted by the reason or reasons for one to actions...

So, this begs the question: if this planet is shown to be similar to Earth in fundamental ways, could life evolve similar to Earth's? On a different note, it never fails to impress me that our technology for exploring space has advanced so far in the years since Galileo improved on the...

Just remember... Shoot 'em in the head to make sure they're dead.

hmmm... so it does. I was secretly rooting for the Cylons in B.G. ;)

Doing fine. The rose was only one of the additions to this, the original, over the course of its existence.

Thanks. :) It speaks to my Transhumanistic leanings.

YES! to an astronomy thread!! ...and to celebrate your choice of title: YouTube- pink floyd astronomy domine

When the brain seizes up, there's always Monty Python... YouTube- Sit On My Face

Very clear and informative, A.I. Thanks.

...or you could do this: YouTube- The Emperors New Groove - I'll turn him into a flea...

Take out as many library books and personal loans as I can. Make sure it gets X-rated. Am I paying alimony? Do I owe these people money? ...think about it. ;) This is the best one. How would one know if the same ting is happening over and over? One had no knowledge the first time, so subsequent...

Oh yeah... an organization of INTP's. ...like trying to herd cats. ;)

surprise football game? *snicker*

Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether he is Cog. Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us. Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with Robots? Peasant 1: Burn them. Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from Robots? Peasant 1: More Robots. Peasant 2: Wood. Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why...

Missed you, too. Hope everything is well with you.

Excellent... 'cause I haven't had a chance to discuss/debate any subject with you yet. (...I can be selfish):D

Chimera... how 'bout a zeppelin? Kuu... champagne and virgins :D:smoker: ...oh yeah ...and gimps LoR... a gracious bow and sweep of my plumed chevalier's hat to you m'lady. I shall endeavour to inundate, hither and yon, the inhabitants of said colloquium with a copious prosperousness of...

In reflection, not a good move on my part, but personal circumstances behooved me to sequester myself for a time. The "quest for self" is wrought with travails at times, and solitude was a necessity. I was even without a computer for quite awhile (*shudder*), by choice. I have altered much, as...

*scratches ear* Wha...!! ...a green balloon!?! *GASP* ...omg, now the demented and peripatetic minions (...demonic aquatic giraffes and such) of the Evil Overlord can spot me!!!

*boo*:D

We have two cats. I much prefer them over any other animal as they are not really 'pets', they are little furry four-legged peoples. And as we all know...

Apache + mySQL + php work so much better on Unix. I had to shift to Unix on my ISP when I uploaded Wordpress for the blog part of my site. What's your problem with php/mySQL, Noddy?

nobody likes me so, nobody is my friend.

or, nobody understands nobody. ;)

...so nobody goes to heaven?

^^ no way! ... but don't breathe on me or touch me. *zips up hazmat suit*

Schizoid? Yeah, I would concur, especially in light of the dictionary definition: And in honour of being termed schizoid... King Crimson: 21st Century Schizoid Man.

Schizoid? Yeah, I concur, especially with the dictionary definition: "of or pertaining to a personality disorder marked by dissociation, passivity, withdrawal, inability to form warm social relationships, and indifference to praise or criticism." And in honour of this, King Crimson: 21st...

If Nobody knows what Nobody doesn’t know, then Nobody knows nothing, which is what Nobody doesn't know because Nobody knows what Nobody doesn't know, but doesn't know how Nobody doesn't know what Nobody knows Nobody doesn't know.... ... okay, ...that's clear now.

I would find this somewhat disturbing. :phear:

Nope, Nobody comes close.

Ah, the phrases I can take out of context in a purely pornographic and hedonistic sense. ;) :D

"Nobody knows the troubles I've seen..." old traditional blues song or the Star Trek version... "Nobody knows the Tribbles I've seen..." :D

I'd like to add one more to your list: "Nobody gets out of here alive" Jim Morrison (Doors song: Five To One)

... what you hear now is the sound of me vomiting.

^^ ...sounds like the onset of a case of the insidious Creeping Extravertitis. :phear: Talk to your doctor. This can be surgically removed. In the mean time, read much cynical dystopian literature, lock your doors and windows, pull the curtains shut and listen to Bauhaus continuously in the...
