You can understand that someone feels bad without actually feeling what they feel. You can be empathetic to another human being without having undergone the exact same scenario (and even then not experiencing it identically). The empathy that you've described is not empathy, but rather...

No. I said there is a distinction between profitable and cost-effective. That is to say, almost any company will strive for efficient use of money, but it isn't necessary for large profits to be made. As an example, government-issued food; the point isn't to make money off poor people, but...

Yeah.

Yes. But there is a distinction between cost-effective and profit. If your goal is to heal people, it would seem to align, morally speaking, with cost-effective, not profit. But that isn't the case in the west (at least USA). I think this quote answers nicely: Honestly, I would love for...

A cynical and probably Ni-infused fearful Part of me wonders if a cure to cancer does not exist because health industries don't want it to exist. This is not a well-formulate opinion or idea, just a random thought. It's probably been discussed here before. If companies make billions each...

Re: Incredible Testimony From North Koreans I was a foreigner in a land Brimming with hatred and poverty Serenading a sweet love With violence, soiled pacem, broken dove. Red the soil my blood dyes Beyond the image where Elysium lies By gates of Earth and spirits asunder. My heart agape, split...

I was a foreigner in a land Brimming with hatred and poverty Serenading a sweet love With violence, soiled pacem, broken dove. Red the soil my blood dyes Beyond the image where Elysium lies By gates of Earth and spirits asunder. My heart agape, split asunder. And now I lie in this land and...

So I did not abandon the search until I had become fully satisfied that the thief is a more astute man than myself

Here's Johnny! Shaking off from my spirit what must have been a dream, I scanned more narrowly the real aspect of the building. Its principal feature seemed to be that of an excessive antiquity. The discoloration of ages had been great.

Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded --with what caution --with what foresight --with what dissimulation I went to work!

Ever with thee I wish to roam--Dearest my life is thine . Give me a cottage for my home And a rich old cypress vine , Removed from the world with its sin and care And the tattling of many tongues . Love alone shall guide us when we are there-- Love shall heal my weakened lungs ; And Oh, the...

Could it be that Archie and Blarraun just post a lot in condensed time frames? Archie in the "Ask Architect" thread, where he has several hundred posts, many of which are close temporally, and Blarraun because... he posts a lot XD The high density of posts in particular threads within short...

I logged in just to +1 this. +1.

Thank you for a very enjoyable game.

Reading this actually makes me sad :slashnew: I don't know if you're looking for some sort of validation, Cog, but I bet if you were to be honest with some lady of interest and told her something to this effect, she would be deeply moved. I hope your trials turn out for the best, whatever they...

Right. My issue was with what's in bold. I argued that it's not necessarily true that a non-competitor is unsatisfied, unhealthy, or distracting himself. In addition, I made a claim that the same criteria by which Cog is judging the masculinity of people (amount of sex had) is in fact an...

For reference: What I'm trying to say is that he's equating masculinity to wanting to have sex, and furthermore that those males that aren't overly concerned with sex replace their urges with some sort of unhealthy crutch. What I was trying to get at with the irony bit is that the reason the...

Nice thread, Cog, but I have an issue with one of your statements: Who's to say that a sexually mature non-competitor is suppressing anything? What if sex drive (or as you put it - natural impulses) is simply low/non-existent for some people? You're lumping non-competitors with failures...

Shut up

//in (post for notifications and such)

Good, I'm glad for you :) On another note, I really wish I took my own advice more often. Lol.

It was poorly worded by me, what I was meaning to say is that to the INTP, Fe appears to be overused. I mean 'purely' as in having a stronger Fe - higher concentration of it. It's the INTP's fault if they get offended simply because someone else is better at dealing with emotions (so long as...

Yeah, the second fool is the one you need to worry about :rolleyes: Welcome

I, too, think that Words had a very nice post. There are many reasons the INFJ/INTP relationship can be so wonderful - or so frustrating. INTP teaches Ti with Ne; INFJ thirsts for Ti, understands through Ni, and the whole Ni-Ne connection is, IMO, the strongest connection that Two people can...

Read your response in the 'multiple books' thread. Have you read any Thoreau? If so, do you recommend?

Re: Conversation with wonkavision 'Tis my duty, cap'n Also, this thread is HOT! ;)

Re: Conversation with wonkavision I could probably answer most of your questions about Fundamentalism, although I don't really care to (don't even know why I'm offering)

Cool, what kinds of systems are you into? Or you could utilize/appreciate the shifts in perception ^_^

There are plenty of people here that will play devil's advocate and defend the Bible ;) But seriously, wonka is a dweeb. Better off gone anyway.

You think? I call it sensor bias. Archie here, for some reason or another, has a deep-seeded hatred of sensors.

But... I could be and INTJ? Or at least, I wouldn't be offended if it were the case!

Because type determines interests :rolleyes:

So are we just throwing out random types, so long as they're not their 'chosen' type? What's the point...? Or am I missing something? Couldn't I just say: Architect: ESFJ, or ISTJ, or ENFP, etc.

Lol'ed at this :D

Please leave me alone

Might be useful. I test exclusively as INTP (INFJ is my most likely type). The problem with most tests is that they don't usually test for functions, they test for "J-ness" or "F-ness", etc.; characteristics of people may be due to complex interactions between functions and not just MBTI...

I'm 100% white and I do this. Like you, it's not forced, although I'm sure my mirroring isn't as intense as yours. The result is that I can make interactions that would otherwise be generalized as 'uncomfortable' seem pretty relaxed and at the least authentic. My theory is that it's Fe at...

What's with your sig? I've seen it on multiple other users, and I'm honestly interested in what it is/ what it means.

Re: Concepts way out of Context Great. Now, how do we trace that energy to a point? What if, say, that energy accumulated in one spot? Of course other interactions would take place, but say that there's a net gain of energy for one collection of particles (all of which are interchangeable...
