All this talk on "where did our moon come from?" (sparked by Bill O'Reilly) has got me thinking about our moon. Do we actually know how it got to be where it is and how long its been there? The meaning of life may forever escape us, but the origin seems close..

I've known about this site for a while now, but I've only recently started checking it daily and created my own account. They talk about stories from around the world as they happen, and it truly displays the speed of the internet. It's a remarkable community, and I suspect a large minority of...

I find that while interacting with others, I can manipulate people's thoughts and perspectives so that they could end up being more or less positive (obviously this doesn't work on everyone). But if someone is having a bad day, I'll try to change their perspective so that they start thinking...

I mean even if they had robot ears.. Good music is hard to explain, but I damn well can't conceive that robots could ever get ANY of it. In fact I wonder what other mammals, if any, can appreciate music. I've heard of house cats and dogs supposedly acknowledging music by sitting close to the...

I feel like this is one of our great struggles as INTPs. Being that we're always at a state of thinking, it's hard to talk to other people from time to time. We have to turn off our Ti to a certain extent in order to respond and interact with them in a timely manner.. thus the need for Ne...

I love listening to music as I fall to sleep.. of course, I love listening to music during mostly all woken moments as well. Post relaxing songs that you think would be perfect for a lazy afternoon or a late night. Remember to use spoiler tags. I'll start! Please only post one song at a time...

I'm wondering if intuition and feeling come from the same side of the brain, while thinking and sensing come from the other side.. Is this true? It seems like classic gender roles would put men on the thinking/sensing side of things, while feeling/intuition would be for the women. I feel like I...

Would you? Have you? I find I do it probably too often.. that and really I shouldn't even have enemies.. but I do. Anyways, I made a facebook (I hate you facebook) status today that read, "loves that Rush Limbaugh has been going deaf, and now Glenn Beck is going blind. Karmaaa!" And while I...

Do you use different voices while talking to different groups of people? I know I do, and I've definitely noticed others doing this as well. For instance, my ENFP friend was renowned for how he would talk to different cliques of people. He'd talk to Europeans as an English man (don't ask me...

A nice camera or a nice pistol, either with whatever scope you want. They both pack power. They're both lightning quick and accurate, each with their own strengths. One captures a scene. One commands a scene. Which would you rather be armed with?

Which one do you agree with? What options would you include in this poll? What images would you use to represent this polll? YOU ARE NOT TIRED.

I'm on a vinyl buying binge, probably due to my what.cd account being on its deathbed (apparently I don't upload enough) and the fact that I've actually got some spare change for the first time in years. Anyways, I decided to buy White Hinterland's brilliant new album "Kairos" on Vinyl and CD...

This is my favorite art gallery and community on the web, for sure. The quality of work here is impressive, I strongly recommend checking this stuff out if you're an artist (put your art on there!) or just an observer (99% of us). http://www.redbubble.com

Increasingly, I'm finding the idea of a civilization working hand in hand with robots unsettling. I don't like them. I don't want their help. I don't want them to do anything apart from assembling cars or other heavy lifting (if even that). I'll admit it, I'm afraid of robots. I tried to look up...

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/525347 hit play, and then either scroll to the left (to see things smaller) or to the right (to see things larger). Incredible!

I know we've had threads on which hand do you prefer using before, but I just wanted to ask a different question. Why is it that most people are right handed? Personally, I'm ambidextrous. I use my right hand primarily for throwing and shooting (in basketball), but I write with my left hand...

These albums are NOT ordered, I consider these to be the best 25 albums of the year in general, and their order is completely arbitrary and annoyingly difficult to assess. Enjoy. Little Dragon - Machine Dreams The xx - xx Wild Beasts - Two Dancers Mew - No More Stories Are Told Today I'm...

Dear friends of photography, could you recommend some quality cameras? I'd say anything up to $1000 is fair game. I may be headed to Bosnia this summer for a class, and I think it's finally time I bought a decent camera to properly document the culture/country. I'd primarily be using it for...

Anyone else notice this? I'm always trying to say things that are absolutely true, that aren't even slightly off from any degree of truth regardless of looking at the statement in the bigger picture or taking it for what it is.. in context. I think this brings a lot of fatigue in interacting...

I've noticed that my introvertedness seems to go hand in hand with my insomnia. Not that I can't sleep because I'm an introvert, but that I enjoy being up at night more so than during the day. I've found that many of my introverted friends also share this tendency.. and it makes sense...

If you're bored and want to laugh your ass off at how ridiculous college kids are, this is a great place to spend some time. I particularly like reading these texts when I'm feeling depressed, they instantly cheer me up. Kids be crazy! Examples: (610): He had an itunes playlist named "def not...

Okay, I'm wondering if this is just me or if others are plagued with this problem as well.. I have almost zero muscle memory. I've played basketball my entire life yet my form for my shot is slightly different every single time. No two of my signatures are alike. I can't seem to do anything...

This is a pretty neat site if you like to stay up on the latest music gaining buzz/hype and all that jazz. I've used it to find songs I couldn't find elsewhere quite a few times. http://elbo.ws/

This is a great site. It's all about 'Ideas Worth Spreading', very INTP friendly. TED is famous for its lectures, known as TED Talks, which originally focused on technology, entertainment and design, but have now expanded in scope to a broad set of topics including science, arts, politics...

I think we should create another subforum inside of the arts and entertainment section that is dedicated strictly to the encouragement of finding new websites and discussing about them. I'm always on the lookout for new interesting websites and I'm sure you people know of some great ones that I...

Behold: The Eigenharp A Demonstration of its various capabiities: YouTube- Eigenharp Roadshow - Air Studios Moby's 'Extreme Ways' on the Eigenharp (very cool): YouTube- Moby Extreme Ways on the Eigenharp (from Bourne Ultimatum) Bond Theme on the Eigenharp (also cool): YouTube- Bond theme song...

Okay, I don't really want to work anywhere. But apparently, that's not a good way to go through life.. especially if you want to buy things from time to time.. or have a house, or eat food of nutritional value. So with that being said, I've spent my first 23 years of life deciding where I don't...

This is a strange dilemma, and for it's almost like taking the red pill vs. the blue pill in The Matrix. Here's my reasoning: Lately I've been interviewing for a lot of jobs, and I find myself just wanting to tell them I'm an INTP, as if it's a disease or a heart condition they should be aware...

Will you still be in school? Will you still have the same job? Do you have any goals for the next year? Where do you want to be? And I mean this in any way possible. Be it financially, academically, whatever. No one wants to stagnate... so ideally, where will you be?

Tonight being 10/11/09 (I should have dated the thread title). The Story Behind One of Science's Biggest Finds. I'm excited!

Zero 7 have a new album coming out, and it's incredible (it just leaked). It might be my second favorite of theirs, next to Simple Things.

Carl Jung has a book that is about to finally be published, here is the story: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/20/magazine/20jung-t.html?ref=global-home In the Red Book, after Jung’s soul urges him to embrace the madness, Jung is still doubtful. Then suddenly, as happens in dreams, his soul...

When was the last time you cried? What brought it about? I've found myself becoming increasingly emotional, I mean to the point that I feel like I could cry just by listening to songs, hearing Obama speak, reading the news, etc. Of course, I don't actually get to the point of tears, but my...

List your favorite applications! I'm always on the look out for new kick ass software for my favorite gadget ever. :D A few of my favorites: NYTimes Wikipedia (recently came out with a first party version) NPR News Huff Post (Huffington Post) Discovery (Discovery Channel's official app, VERY...

Anyone here vegetarian? I've been mulling over the idea for a few years now, and I'm slowly working towards actively avoiding the consumption of meat. I really enjoy eating cows, I can't deny it (cheeseburgers are delicious), but after seeing semi's haul around pigs and seeing all of their...

So my dad retook the myers-briggs test today, and as I suspected he too is an INTP. But interestingly enough, he comes from a family of 7 (2 sisters 4 brothers), and I suspect one or two of his brothers are INTPs as well, or at least introverted and intuitive. And, I think my grandpa is also an...

Okay, I dunno how most INTPs feel about hip hop, but there are actually great, intellectual, hip hop albums out there. I'm sure I've missed a few, so if you have any suggestions I'd be much obliged! Some of my favorite albums (in no particular order): Dr. Dre - Chronic 2001 (the production is...

This is a tough one, I'm sure. I'm voting for the severely underrated 'Amnesiac'. I've listened through it twice just today, and I'm in love. Second place is tied between OK Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows, and The Bends... yeah, I'm not very good at rating Radiohead albums. They're all so damn...

Hayao Miyazaki has a new movie coming out, 'Ponyo'! I'm so excited, he's got to be my favorite animated filmmaker ever. I bought a box set of all his movies back when I was in high school, and then bought Howl's Moving Castle as soon as that came out. Seriously, the man has not made a bad...

I'm sure most NTs and NFs get a kick out of Monty Python, I know I do (along with my friends)! Anyways, post your favorites! Here's mine: YouTube - Monty Python- Four Yorkshire Men :D

Over the course of the summer I've dived pretty heavily into this genre of music, probably because there are suddenly an abundance of artists doing it so well. If anyone else digs this kind of stuff, I've got a few recommendations! The first band is Neon Indian, their debut album releases in...

I've been reading through Henry David Thoreau's Walden this summer, and actually going out to our nearby parks to do so (it's fun). Anyways, I still haven't actually finished it (this is a reoccuring theme), but I was bored a couple of nights ago and asked my dad for something new to read. My...

Are we still closed to new members? I haven't seen any n00bs running their mouths in months, and I'm starting to get concerned...

I can't help but notice that human beings are not the only mammals that display characteristics of both extroversion and introversion. I think most people can agree that domesticated cats seem to be introverted by and large, and that dogs seem to be very extroverted. However, within each species...

Celebrate numbers! They're lining up! Yeah!
