7/10 - Would listen again :)

So, the Perseus System website doesn't seem to be up anymore. Luckily Google has Cached it: Perseus System How has nobody pointed out yet that "Bully" is not an animal type? Furthermore, calling ESTJ's "bullies" shows a prejudiced bias on the part of the author of the system, calling into...

It seems a lot of people, after encountering MBTI for the first time, react strongly against "being put into a box". It also seems like this reaction is much less common among INTPs. I was thinking the reason might be that although we value our individuality, we don't value it over logical truth...

Actually, the answer is Yes. Regardless of whether it's a new or old block there will still be a new one directly above an old one. If the middle one is new then it's directly above the old one at the bottom. If the middle one is old then the new one at the top is directly above it.

Why put yourself in the little box of being a Mac user? IS it really that rewarding or beneficial to you to classify yourself as something so that you can unconsciously conform to it? Why not call yourself a Linux user and start complaining how other OS's lack customizability and how you can't...

And here I thought it turned into another "lets argue about Pod'lair thread".

What is the basis for these feelings you have, and do these feelings correspond to reality? What if your personality type does put you in a box? You obviously think there's something wrong with the idea, but you haven't explained why, other than that you feel that way. Why should the way you...

Awesome, isn't it? :D I've been climbing 1-3 times a week for the past year and a half. I needed some sort of physical exercise after getting out of the military, and it is exactly what I needed. How big is this wall, and do they change the routes often?

Any successful venture needs 3 things: an innovation, a plan, and effective marketing. No matter how amazing your innovation, if you don't have either of the other two your venture will fail. We know Pod'lair has an innovation, and it has the potential to be awesome. There seems like there...

I'm curious about some of the metaphysical pronouncements on the site, can you elaborate on them? For instance the following statement ascribes a metaphysical set of ideas to "Natural Law": "Gender Equality, Age Equality, Racial Equality, and Equality for Sexual Orientation of all...
