First part, no. Second part, yes. It's important but maybe not so much. If people don't figure out the first part then the second part applies.

Two things: 1- read Ernest Becker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS8DnYwnnF4 2- keep in mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bJxYRtGUM4

One of the most enlightening moments I've had regards to male/female approaches to the world was in watching the film "Raise The Red Lantern" There is more than one way. Those born women know better than to assign a nature to our gender.

It's a time investment issue, I'd think. I had another name I liked "Entendre" with the subtitle "I have no double" That was a name I chose for a "rant" forum where I thought I was still just having fun and had yet to learn that a lot of "rant ravers" actually take themselves seriously. Now I...

If you don't believe in premarital sex and also don't believe in marriage... do you believe in sex? Just sayin'... Buddhists would be happy with you because we'd all stop procreating and the human race can finally be at peace. 1) I believe that any Buddhist should be for the destruction of the...

If day started after I'd slept my years would not relate to the Roman calendar.

Yep. That made my day.

How are y'all feeling today? (yes, that's a trick question) :balance:

Giggling now because... wtf? How am I to, or why should I, produce evidence that my feelings are justified? I'm INT fucking P No one I've ever met has been able to figure out why I don't feel the same way they do so why would I presume any of you would? I'm just telling how I made my decision...

I have a problem with the word "meme" since I was introduced to it by a wannabe guru who preached Spiral Dynamics and claimed to be "turquoise." If you ever told him he was wrong he would just tell you that you thought so because you weren't turquoise yet. Also, "memes" were invented by...

Obviously you can't know the future and you can't experience both choices. That's what makes choice a pain in the ass and why Hamlet was my favourite play. What you can do is postulate, based on past experiences, which outcome you are most likely to experience. In my case, knowing the other...

I tend to decide these matters by deciding what will cause me most regret later in life. I chose to not go to any proms and I have not regretted it. My kid has gone to one prom and regrets it to this day. Nevertheless, she is deep in plans for her next one. A prom is a mental snapshot in time...

My dad is, likely, an INTP. My mother is an ESTJ. I figure I learned all of my behaviour by seeing how my dad is a survivor and my mother an emotional basketcase. I also share some traits with Virgos and also share some traits with Buffy The Vampire Slayer though I'm more likely to got the way...

I apologize for disturbing the thread with minutiae. I was given anxiety/panic attacks by medication given to me by purportedly sane physicians for a non medical issue. The terms of the question have a greater significance to me than the average person.

It's a thread for meanderings on all variations of the subject. I'd not paid attention to typing systems in the past because they seemed to have no cognitive significance. Too many variables in any one person's formation. I am starting to think there is something in MBTI typing but not...
