Objection! I don't see how "All of what you say here is ignorant dogmatic folly" is significantly more personally offensive than "why the fuck would you want to do acid?"

I'd argue so, but that doesn't even matter. Ethical decisions are best taken rationally. That's f'ing common sense, too. Emotions don't add anything of value to a consideration, they just bias it in arbitrary ways. Edit: Nah, it isn't.

They just tend to question them for the sake of sanity. Sanity that's needed to make good ethical decisions.

This, obviously. Isn't that just common sense? Uh, I thought this was an INTP Forum. Also this. I don't get the fuss. There's no meaningful difference between destroying an embryo and not creating it in the first place. Birth control is murder!

I had a blast reading this thread.

My rock-solid morals and my undying fighting spirit. Also this, though maybe to a lesser extent. Seems like something is actively dragging you down. Hiding behind the unconditionally true core of things to avoid showing too much character is a game I like to play, too. But in the end it's...

So even INTPs tend to trust their flawed human minds for no reason at all?

I try to find a way out through introspection. If there's no (easy) way out I often find myself striving for dopamine. Music, food, more food, onlinegames. That just makes things worse, though.

How about this one: Ruined life := Life that feels like shit with little to no chance of recovery. I do think drugs ruin lives in that sense. And I do think most people are too stupid to realize the impacts of their decisions on their future. I also think that, contrary to what appears to be...

Willkommen. You seem likeable. Do you have some psychological theories of your own? Are you actively exploring your own mind? What are your life goals?

If there's one thing that's really important to me, it's being right. The absolute certainity that my worldviews and the parts of them that I express are 100% correct and true. I tend to not take others' opinions seriously enough to care, but sometimes, when they manage to challenge my views in...

Losing the will to fight might actually be worse than losing the fight itself. Screw my disposition to addiction. I know all I need to know about how addiction works and I could probably even break this cycle if I actually wanted. But the desire to be the very best, like no one ever was, is far...

I think this is all about status symbols. People just keep buying shit that makes them feel better about themselves. And most people don't even realize their own motivations for buying this stuff. Those are the people I'd call idiots. And then there's people like me who know their own...

This. I believe I'm bisexual in a biological sense, but I'm still gonna stick to girls since it's more socially acceptable. I think this applies to most other heterosexuals as well, at least in my country.

Visual Studio is the root of all evil.
