But unfortunately I can't tell you, as you won't be able to make use of it. Or rather, you could, but you won't. What a fuck am I. Maybe I should file the serial numbers off and package it as a religion. As Valentine Smith discovered that's probably the easiest to get people to learn...

Maybe you should be a comedian. That's a good start there. I did that - Humanities geek with no Science background. Switched to physics and got into a top drawer PhD program. However I was younger, about 21 when I switched, and was out by the time I was 25 or 26 (switched again to...

Just as people think of you as a girl because of your avatar, people likewise think I'm arrogant because of my architect avatar. I did an experiment once and used a much softer, F dominant (Peter Sellers as Chauncey Gardner). Predictably, people's responses to me became softer and more open...

If I had a low score it would affect my self esteem, likely leading to poorer performance in life as I would (to some degree) feel intimidated by my mediocrity. If I had a high score, it would insufferably inflate my ego, likely leading to poorer performance in life as I would (to some degree)...

I was voted the most popular and Mr Congeniality, girls fell over themselves just to lick my boots. No not popular, what did you expect? I was respected though for whatever reason. I did hear an interesting story relating to the fact that I blossomed late Sophomore year. Sometime after I was...

Re: Pop ups The site has been hacked - again. This time they put some redirect kiddies on the server, but I would have preferred the dancing cat.

Yes LOAR is a direct result of evolution, as we take it from the physical realm into our own hands. Not that it will help you with arguing the creationists; by definition people who choose willful ignorance will not be swayed by reason and evidence.

I got bored of QM, GR/SR, E&M ... Note I'm not bashing Physics - our poster child Albert Einstein was one, as was my undergraduate adviser. But the hard sciences are a bounded field as they are purely about what is with little regard for us in the mix - that's the job of the Humanities. I've...

You can switch from a physics background to Software Engineering - I did and I know two others who did (actually more than that thinking about where my grad school cohorts went ...). The difficulty is building enough career capital - that takes time and lots of energy. Can you find the time...

AFAIK people like me but it depends. A lot of strong S types don't like it when I go deep (Ti) or ideate too much (Ne), but I'll get bored if I'm not doing either. I spent so many years adapting to the "Realistic way of socializing" that dominant S types prefer that I don't have much appetite...

Romantically I find them easy to live with and boring; there's no mystery (from my perspective as an INTP). Now an NF on the other hand is harder to live with but romantically desirable, as there's great mystery there. Plus you get a different viewpoint which is invalubable. To each his own...

That was spelled out in the post addendum, but you obviously are demanding I restate it. Judicially women are equal and that's how it largely plays out societally. It's not an active topic of mine but according to Paglia and another prominent feminist I forget the name of ATM, on the job/pay...

Camille Paglia's 'Working class Feminism' is worth considering and her critique of modern academic feminism. That is, the campus 'safe zones' as being an enabler of female inequality, not liberator. Her point is that true feminism is being able to stick up for yourself (as a women), not...

Interesting, I don't bother with these tests because I know what they're driving at and so can't answer objectively anymore, but was curious about such a short one. The questions weren't perfectly obvious either so what the heck, anyhow Your Personality is Very Rare (INTP) I was guessing it...

Yeah, but I usually don't take my judgement that everybody is a moron too seriously. I mean I think it all the time, but remind myself that people are really being intelligent - from their perspective. Which isn't the analytical perspective I have. Conversely, whose to say I'm not being the...
