Morality has no “perfected” state. It is just whatever happens to be agreed on at that point in time. “Moral relativism” is the fancy definition. Less suffering caused seems to be the trend we’re on though. I imagine it to be a “good” direction. But I cannot be certain of it. It is just...

My advice in another thread was to not follow dating advice from anyone online. finger guns On topic though, I’m semi-surprised the thread turned into an advice collumn. I thought we were just answering a question. @Puffy I kind of wish I gave off asexual vibes lol. I seem to give off...

Huh... I don’t even know. I don’t really think of myself. Not in the sense of, “how do others view me”, or, “how do I view me.” I do like to try and keep track of my tendancies and capabilities though. I suppose that is pretty close to thinking about myself.

I’d say ignoring your first thought is a good rule of thumb. Personally, it is required for my survival. My first thought after smelling laundry detergents is that it smells good and that I must drink it.

Disclaimer: This is mostly observation, I’m personally not interested in having a romantic life. But I have seen family members and close friends go through relationships and have talked about it with them, so I think I can say a few things. It’s different for everyone, you’ll hear people give...

I’ve known everything for a while now. I’m learning about unknowable things now.

Nvm I messed it up.

I put potato in over 9000 times. Still 100% INTJ. I’m not sure what this means.

INTJ was 50% or more usually. Then INFP was high in some other texts. I might play with it more later.

1. A. What is Time? And why does it feel so phony? 2. A. Are there things humans will never be able never understand? B. Why is it women? (Joking [shit I wasted a question]) C. Where dem aliens at? 3. A. When did humans migrate everywhere? (Specific dates for each continent) B. What...

I think a lack of well thought out personal philosophies is the biggest issue. Religion, and religious convictions are being ever pushed out and that leaves a vague hole for a lot of people. “Yeah, I’m a good person, and am for the good!” Is what a person may say. But they’ve not thought...

Never been catcalled, or catcalled someone. I think it is kind of poor taste. Or is a bit classless and tacky. Maybe even a little creepy. Specific compliments are a lot more my style. Eg. “Hey I think that vest looks really nice on you”. “Hey, your singing and humming is really cute.”

There have been multiple things that evolved independently from each other on Earth, so I would wager complex life elsewhere actually wouldn’t look super differently from ours. There IS quite the diversity already here though, so shrug. If they were complex enough to traverse stars though, I...

Hey now it’s not a cult. Send coffee crisps and kitkats plz.

I’m just in it for the chocolates when they go on sale.

Courage is knowedge of your strength and capabilities. Cowardice is knowledge of your weakness and incapabilities. In your definition though, it seems you assume ones knowledge of their capabilities is often wrong. That certainly can be the case sometimes, but not every time. Taking a risk...

Wow, I suck at these. A lot of pop culture and media references. I would have only of gotten 3 or 4 from that list (using hints). However; I only did give each question 15-30 seconds of thought, and just glazed over logic puzzle ones because I’m lazy right now.

Yes, ENTP is the perfected form of the INTP. I’m glad you’ve realized this. Seriously though, I went through something similar. I was adamantly an INTP in gradschool til leaving highschool. But then I got heavily depressed in university. I realized I was just living the life others wanted me...

As an ENTP, I’m pretty sure Ne (extraverted intuition) works. If I have a point to make, I usually tell a short story first that has supporting evidence. Then I say the conclusion. For years I would only tell stories that circled around the point so the listener could say the point. There’s a...

A wise man once said, “If everyone around you seems to be an asshole, YOU are the asshole.” The analogy being, if you encounter the same thing everywhere, it warrents some introspection. It is very tough to be objectively introspective though. That being said, there are absolutely a lot of...

:coverlaugh::laugh::laugh:

Watched the lunar eclipse the other night, even though it was -25c. Had to keep coming back inside to avoid frostnipping and frostbite. Was very difficult to get a good picture, but my brother managed to. Worked on a puzzle while warming up, finished it today, but one piece is missing. It got...

If I’m in a shitty mood IRL, I’ll just practice self-control and limit my interaction with people. Online though, I’ll just be shitty because that’s how I feel. It is kind of cathartic and fun. If all is peachy I’d say I’m the same as possible in both spheres. The online/offline dichotomy is...

Eh... there are more things not 3 than things that are. It’s not special. If you’re looking for something hard enough, you’ll find it. That being said, my favourite number is 333. Not that anyone asked.

Yeah, I wasn’t particularly looking for advice when I started this thread. But I am feeling a bit of a fire burning now to go for teaching again. I’m thinking moreso gradeschool as my coworkers are less likely to be strictly female lol. My original intention of creating this thread was to see...

Motivational videos make me motivated for the duration of the video. Mostly just because the person speaking will sound so inspirational. But as soon as it is over, it’s back to life as usual. No observable residual effects.

Holy balls those are some huge lists. I feel that I use youtube much differently lol. I float from recommended video to recommended video. But here’s a few channels that I can recall. The Crash Course series’ are all quite interesting. Green brothers produced I want to say? Quite of the...

@onesteptwostep I went to McMaster - they called themselves Ivy League. We just call them Universities in Canada. Probably not the best choice, as I only chose them out of proximity. They specialize in teaching medical care. I’ve been out for nearly 5 years now. Life has been fine. I did move...

It was only first year classes, so they were quite generalized. The history one was “History since 1900 to 2000”. And the philosophy one was “Evolution of Western Philosophy (starting with the presocratics)” and “Modern philosophical problems”. The history class was very brief over most...

My passions were teaching young children, and studying history, and philosophy. I pursued the first by working in a daycare. The sexism and pressure from peers to “do something harder” made me go back to school for the other two. I quit after a year. If I had stuck with it, I would have had an...

Yeah, video-games were a good “surrogate” in place of social ambitions for a long time. I have a real knack for them, and excelled. Like the 95th percentile+. I just... don’t care if I do well in them any more (to the chagrin of teammates). I know depression can be characterized by not caring...

If you have enemies, they do make very good motivators. Tackling world problems was never in my agenda though. I’m never going to go out and look for wrongs to right. (Excellent way to waste excess energy if you have it though) I’ve got no crusade in mind, but I will /usually/ be kind and help...

All the councilors are essentially just representitives of the biggest families on the reservation. And yeah, I do live on one. Corruption and mishandling of funding is rather rampant. They’re all essentially “elected administrators”. The few honest councillors that try to change things, don’t...

Being in a position of leadership is seen more as a responsibility, not one of power. That’s the main difference I can see. (For Ojibway anyways, another tribe could be very different). My father’s (and other family members on his side) look at serving on council as serious as a prison sentence...

Hmm, I never really made that distinction in my head. They always seemed one and the same to me. I did get shit for, “lacking ambition” tho. So that may be why.

I have done some ruminating and have come to the conclusion that this is not a motivator for me anymore. It was a motivator just a few years ago, but I think it was from wanting to prove something about myself... what that was, I’m not sure. Societal pressure I suppose.* At first I thought that...

I discount people who leave hugely massive walls of text. If it is formatted well it may get a cursory reading though.

I’m sorry. That video invaded my mind as went from reading “Ni” as “N.I” and switched to “Ni!”

I think this explains Ni pretty well.

I picked up Endless Space 2 recently and got the same syndrome. “Just one more turn...” whoops it’s 3am now.

Guess I’ll share my thoughts about Pod Lair even though nobody asked. When I first came across then several years ago, they scared me. I mean they really REALLY come off as a cult. I now see it’s kind of closer to, “no psychologist want to share and build up each other theories”. I had a...

I find it quite useful to know peoples type. Or at the very least, their two main functions. It is pretty useful to know how a person will react/be when they’re in “auto-pilot” mode. However; it does lose quite a bit of usefulness the more intimate / close you get to someone. I wouldn’t...

Lol yes. Exactly like that.

As an ENTP, I can only focus so long on things I have NO interest in. If I understood a thing. That was enough of that thing. No interest in learning it. (Understanding a thing, and learning a thing are quite different!) It didn’t help that I also cared very little about marks. It was just...

He seems like a bit of a loose cannon eh? ENTP here, not entirely sure what would be the “telltale” signs. But I can offer some insight of how it is for me in conversation with someone. I always try to rush the sentence or point someone is trying to make. Saying the bullet point of their...

Most of my intrinsic motivations are just for basic things. Hunger, sleep, cleanliness. Usually quite attainable, so I’m very content with things most of the time. I also get a weird urge to clean up if my “flow” is disturbed. I’m not quite sure that is, but it will suddenly hit me sometimes...

I’m pretty close-minded about somethings, and open-minded towards other things. There’s no... how would you put it... universal setting for all topics. I reckon this is how most people are. “Any belief system you have has got to be updated and revised as you take in new data. You’ve got to be...

Eh, the main story and playthrough isn’t complex at all. But if you ever want to play against humans it is a bit more complex. Levels are capped No items Pokemon are seperated into tiers so it’s not just legendaries stomping around all the time Double battles / singles Teams of three out of...

Eh, no correlation I think.

Oh yeah? Well I hate to On topic. INTPs aren’t really worse off or better off than other types. If it really bugs you though, you can try using your intuition more. Spend less time analysing experiences and more exploring. Really helps to pull you out of a funk. Reading more of your post...
