It's much easier to make transgenic animals and have them grow organs at the moment. As for in vitro organogenisis (growing organs in a lab), what we currently have are organoids has been reported to range from 200 μm to 4 mm which are generated via stem cells. Not exactly enough to make an...

I'm coffee latte.

We can't play god. Playing god is establishing the rules of nature. What geneticists are doing are simply making things more efficient within said rules. Like my prof once said, we are developing tech so fast that ethics can't keep up with them. I really would appreciate it if humanities people...

Call her. If she replies then cool, if not then it's okay as well. It seems that you've developed some weird ideal perfect version of her in your head. Not exactly uncommon for someone experiencing limerence, but it's kinda unhealthy to keep said version up there for a long time. She sensed that...

@Reluctantly No idea how the western herbal med research works but in our country said herbal med research is usually done by academe-pharma collab. Here's one of them.

We basically spam our high intelligence and creativity to compensate for the poor genetic make-up. Besides, we already have CRISPR to edit mutations at the genetic level.

@Reluctantly Pharma companies are less likely to go for drug discovery because it is expensive as balls. A modest estimate would be 1.4 billion dollars out of pocket for just one drug. They focus more on derivatives and making different compositions which is much cheaper to research on and to...

Do you have multivitamins back there like Centrum? It should have all that vitamins and more.

Saying that there's a cure for cancer is like saying WD40 can fix all the problems in your house. The closest cure that we have is targetted therapy. But that type of treatment is designed for individuals.

I'm going to focus on this course after the C module: https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-mitx-6-00-1x-11 Maybe you can take a look as well :)

Thanks again :) Guess I'm on the right track.

@nthng Okay fair enough. Anyways, I have of the same mind with Serac here. If you're going for a relationship then just be upfront with the girl. Ask her out. Cunning and planning AFAIK are non-gendered values, not exactly feminine. If you're going for a friendship then the empathy route...

Thanks Serac! Is the R/Python combo a good start for R&D programming?

So the wife and I got a short 4-day course on C (which I think is the granddaddy of all programming languages) and was quite hooked. Should've taken programming when I was younger but my teacher said it's never too late. Our teacher recommended that I study more advanced languages such as C++...

I'm kinda confused OP. You want to be nothing and have no identity, correct? So how does that exactly work with social functions which operates on self-identity and social identity?

If I remember correctly, AK is currently on welfare support. Of course, if it is no longer the case then yeah its probably useless advice.

Have healthy, friendly relationships with girl_friends, get yourself healthier and find a stable job/education. Those things would be a good start for you and your quest for getting a gf.

So our team just came from a whole day social event yesterday. The office ladies were clocking a lot of hours too so my pride as a leader wont let me just sit down and instruct people. Autism be damned, leaders must be at the frontlines. Suffered several mini meltdowns during the course of the...

I really prefer people learn how to have deep friendships first then learn how to date. Partners are both lovers and friends. Eros has limited ability to sustain a relationship indefinitely while philia (friendly love) can tank some obstacles within any relationships.

Watched Netflix's Bright and Tomb Raider (2018). Bright hits the feels since I did emphatize with how Jakoby was treated. I liked its message though. Even if you're socially handicapped by birth, you can still earn your "bloodied" status with the skills and abilities you are born with. Tomb...

People do listen but on their own terms, you just have to package your ideas on these terms or modify the environment to suite your speech.

That anxiety wont leave unless you build yourself up first. I think relationships are best started if the partners have (almost) equal footing. Use that NeTi to your advantage. Clever - go win philo debates, write books/journ articles, get better degrees etc. You dont need to be necessarily...

Go to the following least happiest countries: Burundi Syria Togo Afghanistan Benin Give me Wish you were here postcards btw.

Can't blame them. Forums such as ours attract young people with no where to go. It's kinda natural to look up to figures that they think have their best interests as heart.

Well if it's a hypothetical blank cheque then cash away! The higher the better.

The problem is that it posits that there's a blank cheque and that the gov't or whatever entity is buying your knowledge won't try to shortchange you. PhD's have different values and the initial financial investment doesn't necessarily mean that the PhD is actually valuable (if this is not real...

Hado, I'm not sure if this is applicable but marriage made me more open and conscientious. I'm currently becoming more open to new stuff because one of the needs that marriage has is to have a variety of memorable experiences/hobbies with your wife. Marriage, after all, is eternal courtship. So...

Interesting thread. Which European country has the healthiest STEM and/or R&D industries? Kinda pointless to study if there's no network that will offer you jobs afterward.

No, that's stupid. Why sell something that regularly earns $$$ for one time big time windfall? I don't think I have the financial maturity to handle that large amount of money wisely. It's like killing the golden goose.

Gotta let go of the forum for now: There's a freaking Chinese nuclear-capable bomber parked near our country. Our president will probably lick Chinese butts instead of keeping us safe. I''m going to spend my time finding permanent ways of getting my family and optimistically speaking, my...

That's a bad academic trait actually, not something INTP-centric. What field are you are in by the way?

We can always visit Innsmouth like "normal" people though.

I say our wit. We technically have the same will to survive as any lifeforms do (live and procreate). However, we are simply ahead on the wit department. Animals can plan ahead, strategize etc. (see this stone throwing chimp story). They're just not good at it as we are.

Mainstream article Actual paper Anyways, there's a paper that says that life is seeded via virus and microorganism - containing comets like the old theory of panspermia. They speculate that these viruses and microorganisms forced the evolution of Cambrian life. Case and point is the octopus...

Why he was able to dramatically enter the Wakanda fight,

I suggest something sort of a bridge: board games. It's analytical enough to engage the Ti yet social enough to give the other cognitive functions. As for dancing, go zumba :D It's quite fun!

Ok I think you should work on that. Having several connections, even shallow ones, would be a good start. Otherwise, a fallout like the one you experienced would be devastating. Keep away from serious relationships for now.

I agree with the interrelation, we just need a place to start. Let's go with the girl then. You told us here that you are a detached person and that this girl is a special connection. Can I ask if you have several people with special connections with as opposed to just one girl?

Which would you prefer to talk about: the girl or the lack of use (for trying to be smart)?

Perhaps a person can be a pseudointellectual and an intellectual at the same time? Just different fields?

100% relate but that lazy genius thing got shattered hard at Uni where I faced actual and hard-working geniuses.

I think Victor Frankenstein is a good example of an INTP villain IMO. Basically, science and progress without restraint. I do agree with various writers online when they say that it's kinda hard to make an INTP villain cause we're too lazy to be evil anyway. I guess to make a convincing one...
