Jeez you hit a nerve, man. I feel exactly the same way, except that I also have a passion for the arts. I feel like I'm moderately talented in several things, but not sufficiently talented in any one thing. I don't know what advice to give you, because I'm pretty much in the same boat. Good...

If I'm around people who I haven't earned respect for, ie people who just seem ordinary and not intuitive enough for me to have a real friendship with them, then I can act completely normal socially. Well I say completely normal, it comes off as comedy I suppose, though I still don't really...

There's nothing wrong with reading slower. Reading books in two or three days comes with the experience of reading often. Read at your pace. If you try to speed it up then you won't benefit yourself at all, because you won't be processing enough. I can't help you that much with goal setting...

There's nothing wrong with that, I doubt science too sometimes. I mean, I have to believe in it on the surface I suppose, to do my research and whatnot, but in reality it's impossible to fully trust anything. The scientific method is not perfect, and can never reach the truth but only attempt to...

What is your name? Everyone really does call me Wilson in the real world. Where are you from? The United States How old are you? I am 19. What's your gender? female How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type? Honestly I don't remember where I discovered MBTI, but I took...

Do you believe in astrology? It's clearly false...and I hope you don't. If you do, you ought to know that due to the precession of the Earth, even if astrological signs were once accurate, they're wrong today. Signs are determined by what constellation was in front of the sun at the time of...

Don't forget that good writing is done by people who read extensively. So many writers nowadays don't take the time to read, and it's obvious. It's incredibly important. Read the kinds of things you want to write, and read a lot. Set goals for yourself on how many books you want to read in a...

Fight Club, Fight Club, Fight Club (after this it's harder...just going to list the random ones that come to my head) Pulp Fiction? What Dreams May Come? (for the visuals only) Blade Runner? The Matrix?

Hi visitor, If you have something cool about astrophysics, psychology, or the arts that you know of, you should post it here because I'd be interested in seeing it. Really anything you think is neat is probably something I'd be interested in as well. -Wilson

I don't understand my own emotions. They build up because I ignore them until they explode and I don't even know what's going on. I trust no one. This is a problem because, sadly, I'm still a social ape who needs to actually have serious conversations with other people from time to time. I'm...

This is what irritates me about Facebook. I used to not use it at all but then group studying became a necessity in college and my study group used Facebook to communicate about meeting up. No matter how hard I tried, they'd forget to text me in addition to the Facebook messages and it became a...

You also run the risk of making your own misconceptions; misconceptions are unavoidable because humans are biased and imperfect. It's just a matter of having original ideas (and misconceptions) that other people can see and hopefully perfect.

It's good to gain influence from past thinkers, but I do see your point. Often I feel that all my colleagues think in the same way because we've all read the same books and had the same influences. This can't be good for moving forward. The world needs original thinkers, and no matter how...

You are differentiating matter and energy as if they are different when it has already been pointed out several times that they are not. Also why hasn't it been pointed out yet that light isn't only an electromagnetic wave? We know it is simultaneously a particle, the photon, which is a...

None of these celebrities having high IQs really surprised me. They're all either really thoughtful people or they succeeded in an Ivy League school, so it's not surprising they're intelligent. Ke$ha is the one kind of surprising one, but I seem to remember hearing that she's actually very...
