But if it is just the books people read, how would that account for intelligent people who read dumb books by choice?

What about how to manipulate? I get the whole find peoples' weaknesses thing, but then what? What do these manipulators actually do with those weaknesses?

To clarify, do you mean the books people read or the books people are capable of reading? Some intelligent people read dumb books for fun. Also, where do we get the BA value? Is this a formula that has been developed? Is there a chart of which books are for which age group?

ESFJ: My best friend was this. Best connection ever. We related on the Si Ne level and would live in our own little fantasy dream world, very idealistic. I would pose discussions, trying to figure life out, in a very Ti way. She would clear my confusions by filling in the Fe stuff that I missed...

I don't think feelers are more prone to being manipulated, while thinkers are safer. I think it's the other way around. A lot of manipulation is emotional manipulation. Thinkers, who are not as capable of understanding and trusting emotions, are more prone to being emotionally manipulated as...

Just to clarify - the reason I feel I will be alone forever is not because I won't be able to find someone who respects my decision to wait. I know I can find that. The reason is because even if someone loves me and respects my view, it will hurt me if they don't share it. The thought of...

This is impossible ... I almost feel relief to think about changing my values. But when people tell me to stay with them and not listen to society I feel hopeless because there is no hope in this path. I can't handle being an outcast forever. It is a decision between sticking with my values...

I took a 14 hour flight with no book, no movies, just sat with a pen and paper trying to reason through this. Now I'm on vacation and its horrible. I can't enjoy myself because of how depressed I feel. This vacation is so important to me, I've been planning it for a long time. I don't want it...

Ok I'm now posting my second confusion relating to my personal view. If anyone can srsly answer this I would be SO grateful because this one is driving me fucking crazy: PersonA: I think sex is a meaningful/special thing. I wouldn't want to share such a meaningful thing with a casual encounter...

I guess the first step to all of this is to understand myself first. I haven't really critically thought about my perspective, so now, doing that, is making me realize how little I know about my own perspective.. I have two main confusions, and I'll tell you one of them because I'm hoping...

Our values, the meaning we give to things in life, do not exist in objective reality. They are created by us and we assign them to things. Since they only exist in our minds, they are not "objectively" correct or incorrect. Each person might have a different value/meaning and each person's...

Family - can't hurt them

whats the difference between the friendly approach and the aggressive approach? you are using logic to out-reason them in both, no? just a matter of tone?

I enjoy spending time with people who are intellectual in the sense they like to think about things rather than just book smart, and we can have meaningful discussions. I also get bored with people who are stuck-up/restricted and can't let loose and be silly. I prefer hanging out with people who...

That happens to me too and I didn't know if I was just imagining it. I was confused because I thought intelligence and reasoning capabilities is constant, you have the amount of intelligence you have. I didn't understand how it can fluctuate on a short-term basis? Like how can clicking around...

I think the opposite - I think whether something is art depends on the viewer

(I only read this post) To respond to the "ruin a life" thing, I think drugs would be different than television, etc because when people say they ruin lives, I think they are referring to the actual damage done to the brain. I feel like if the effects of drugs were purely...

You sound exactly like me. That post could have come from my head =P

Narnia was an easy read. I didn't bother to finish Moby Dick. Midnight's Children was confusing. I couldn't finish Crime & Punishment because there was too much irrelevant stuff in it, and the language was bad, but maybe I had a crappy translation. The God of Small Things was confusing...

I haven't tried the browns, but does noise matter to you? The blues are loud. I used them in exams but it didn't matter too much because everyone wore earbuds anyway. I'm not sure about whether there are any with wrist rests. Damn now that I look at these I want a light-up one

I have the blues! I bought the keyboard because I kept hitting the wrong keys on my laptop, so I wanted something with more stable keys for exams. Gopher, CM has tenkeyless I just realized that's not my precise model, bc I don't have phantom caps. I don't know where my model is but it is...

I have this http://gaming.coolermaster.com/en/products/keyboards/rapid-si/

No but I regularly come across situations where some people are going to be harmed, and a decision needs to be made to avert the harm by causing less harm somewhere else.

Because it explores the whole notion of sacrificing one to save others. This happens a lot in the real world.

Oops, the trolley problem is: Scenario 1 If a train is going down track A and is about to run over five people, but you have the option to pull a lever to divert the train onto track B and kill one person instead, would you do it? Scenario 2 Here, you cannot pull a lever, but instead...

I was talking to someone about the trolley problem, and they have a very strange view. I would like to know what you think about it. They would pull the lever to kill one rather than five. But, they would not push the fat man. Their reasoning is as follows: Not pulling the lever and...

lol!

I don't think the results justify it. I think the innocents that died deserve to have their story told, and not get lumped in with terrorists.

I'm trying to understand your scenario - is what justifiable? the terrorists pretending to have hostages? the US killing all 8? the US lying about it?

Fine, vote Hado

Actually, now that I think about it, Puffy, waiting has a disadvantage too. If mafia can concert and vote for a town who is NOT Hado, and one or two fellow townies believe them, we won't even get a chance to vote for Hado because it will be too late. Shit.

Puffy is right. Puffy is not saying NOT to vote Hado, but to wait and see what the other three mafia do first. If towns put in our votes right now, mafia can take advantage of an error before we have a chance to rethink. Lets let them make their move first. * I am still for voting for Hado...

why would Hado want RB out?

Can y'all please listen to these three songs - I'm obsessed: Birds that Fly, Kidnap Kid, techno https://youtu.be/wRsbpUAqd-A No Way Out, Spirit Catcher, tech-house https://youtu.be/Dox4VBwvXeI Wrong, The Soft Moon, post-punk https://youtu.be/gJyBpG7wsZU

thanks for this, I think a lot of people blindly follow scientists the way the religious follow prophets

Are you saying that if X is town and Y is mafia, and X tells everyone that Y is town, Y would want to NK X? I feel that Y would want to keep X around in the game, because X trusts Y and will continue vouching for him.

Why would you NK him if he is vouching for you?

Hado, I don't understand your strategy of saying that if you get lynched and turn green, it proves RB is green? Why would other townies believe that in the first place, what proof does that give them?

Zerk, Why do you not think it is possible for both, Hado and RB to be mafia? Personally, I suspect both. I always suspected Hado due to the nature of the beginning posts. Then, RB comes along and votes for me for no reason. The stated rationale was that lurkers are more likely to...

So to be more precise, in my last post, I meant to ask whether you think it is unethical as well as immoral.

I feel that there must be at least some practical usage for the concepts learned in philosophy, but no one has ever figured out what it could be. There is no "philosopher" job, but there should be. The knowledge gained is important, and although it remains theoretical, there must be some way to...

- I don't know if that's true, the quicker the town starts, the better IF the town's voting is correct. If it is wrong, it just puts the town one point behind sooner. - That's some interesting reverse psychology shit. But anyway I think it's more than just who is posting most. I think what...

Oops, you just posted, and I can't edit. So ignore the last post

So I'm curious, what's the logic behind reading me as mafia rather than townie?

Cops are allowed to ask the moderator whether a single person is a mafia member or not in each round.

Yeah it is hard to explain. Such an explanation would probably be sufficient to claim it is unethical, but do you think it is sufficient to make it illegal? Or would there need to be a reasoned justification for making something illegal?

Lol what? When I said I'm waiting for day one to be over, obviously I wasn't going to break the "one post every 24 hour" rule because then I'd get kicked off anyway. I just meant I'm waiting for something to happen before starting the suspicion game. I'm confused a little, why are we voting...

Thanks for sharing. It's weird that INTJ scored lower than INTP on atheism.

If we are not gonna be making accusations yet, then I don't really know what to post. I've played this game IRL many times before. I haven't read any guides. Just waiting for night one, so we can get some content to work with. Cya
