I sometimes get into flow state when drumming. I play percussion and drums, after warming up for about half an hour, if at least one or two of the other people who are playing also get into this mood, it feels like my body is just playing on it's own (kind of like when driving or riding a bike)...

But anyways... What do you guys think the future holds for bitcoin? A few options I can think of are: 1) It continues to grow in popularity, becomes regulated and taxed, and starts becoming the main currency of the internet. (obviously if this happens it won't stop there, but I don't want to go...

Did you take into account the rising price of btc? My 1070 dollar investment more that tripled itself in just a few months...

Thats a really good point, I never thought of it that way.

When I was in the army I was fit as fuck... Nowadays I'm just travelling, so I have no running shoes, and I'm afraid I'll wear out my good hiking boots if I run in them too much, so I don't run anymore. But I do walk on average probably 2-4 hours a day, often with about 15-16 kilos on my back...

Okay!:D So (almost 6 months after my OP, like any good INTP) I've finally started! I got a job which requires only a few hours of work a day, can be done from anywhere in the world, so long as I have an internet connection, and with pay that is ridiculous (I feel like I'm cheating in life). I...

From what you're describing, it sounds like you're experiencing something very similar to something I've experienced. I think it stems from a combination of a sort of boost in confidence you get from learning that you actually have good social skills, basically cancelling out social anxiety...

I can relate to everything you're saying here. I know where you are, I've been there too. There are two important things you will need to learn if you want to get through this with your sanity intact: 1) "Doublethink" as George Orwell called it. Knowing that it's all a farce, that you are...

What do you do in the military? I was in the Israeli army for three years, honestly, I enjoyed most of it. I found that doing brainless tasks meant I had lots of time to think, and I also made great friends. What can you do to get out of the military as fast as you can, or what can you do to...

Just out of curiosity, what does that mean?

I'm going to start university next year, and I need to decide what to study. So it boils down to this, physics really really fascinates me, and I kind of feel like it should be the basis for erything else I learn, like it's the ABC's of scientific thinking and understanding. On the other hand...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what exactly is UNIX? And does having it make things easier or having it built in make things easier, and why? Is there a reason not to buy a cheaper second hand one from Ebay? Would another laptop with LINUX be a good alternative? It's just the whole, you...

From the op, it sounds like you haven't learned yet that your life will not follow a predetermined course. I would suggest learning how much you don't know (especially about the future) before deciding. Take a gap year, go travel, talk to people from all walks of life, hear their stories, work...

Thanks for all the info. When I started this thread I was in a routine which didn't leave me enough energy to start leaning, so I didn't. Now I'm travelling the world for a year or so, until I start university next year where I plan to study computer science. What I plan on doing in the not too...

"Would you stop arguing with me?! I'm never wrong! *stands up in the middle of math class* Has anyone ever seen me be wrong?" I was a stupid ~13-14 year old.... It's one of those memories I cringe when thinking about. However another time the teacher asked if I did my homework, and I lied and...
