Dala's comment about trying too hard is a large part of it: leaving things unsupported feels threadbare, I am not comfortable simply saying "This is X, here's Y, Z is what needs to happen". Yet structure is ironically lackluster and bridges between thoughts are tenuous at best. 17pounder's...

Welcome to the forum :) In the end, you will have to live with yourself. If your interest lies in engineering, be a trail-blazer. Do what you want to do; it is your life to live, no? Enjoy it.

Where is the glass ceiling on carpe diem? We can only go so high before we fall, suspended in time as a single mote of dust in a darkened corner of the cosmos. Thoughts courtesy of death itself. Awesome thread idea, by the way.

This permeates my writing and speech. It becomes too fluffy and drifts too much, which provides ample room for de-railing and useless material. What little I post on this forum is a victim; I never really address the issue at hand, just dance around it. Painstaking revision is almost always...

Frequently, I almost trample others in various hallways because I wasn't aware of them. Complex, however, not so much. I have a perspective, just like everyone else (not to state mine is like everyone else's).

Welcome to the forum, try not to get lost as there are blessedly unfortunately few roadsigns around here. Perhaps that's a good thing, considering the denizens...

For me, bliss would be a dream-filled stasis that lasted an eternity. Endless dreaming and journeys without having to care about anything. I think having the option to wake would be just as good though, one's mind can only dream about so much before repitition occurs and I'd want to do...

Zensunni: No, that is not my assertion. For clarity, I use impartiality and objectivity interchangably because they mean the same thing to me. My assertion is that sentients use objective reasoning to support the subjective paradigm. This is not to say that the former is always the slave of...

*sigh* I never said objectivity cannot be, I said - indirectly - it is a model to apply to in order to fashion one's reality around while remaining conscious that complete impartiality is unattainable. To posit that I refuse step out of Wonderland is incorrect; I use both objectivity and...

~.- Where did I say it cannot exist? Existence is not the same as adherence. To put it bluntly, you are incorrect concerning what I think. Both paths exist and intersect, feeding off one another. The only thing I am trying to 'prove' here is acceptance. Please, do not assume.

I must've misphrased, this is what I meant: Since I am typing this message, reality has to exist. I never meant to imply it doesn't, that would be absurd. Rather, every organism paints a different picture using the same brush. The basis of my above opinion is formed through this. ~.-...

I do not think true objectivity is achievable. Whatever state a given reality is in will always be interpreted by a (sentient) subject who will inevitably distort the image. I must agree with AI here - one cannot be completely detached; therefore, true objectivity cannot be attained. Similarly...

Name: Synthesis works for now. Origin: United States, unfortunately. Age: 17 (I think) Gender: Male/androgenous Not quite sure what I am, type-wise, although I am balancing between a humble INTJ and normal-ish INFJ. Tests, to answer the query. How did you find out about this forum: Thought...

In no specific order: poet :D (this one has my preference) genetic engineer philosophy/english professor counselor (for the 'reformed', to initiate positive growth) proffessional reader would be nice too; I could spend my days just reading books maintain a [huge] personal garden to tend and...
