If she were less perfect, then she would be perfect, and therefore too perfect once again. :D But if you're talking about two different kinds of "perfect" then I could use some more detail. -Duxwing

I like the new look! :) She looks great without giving you a kick in the eyeball. -Duxwing

I'm not putting those methods down. Oh I don't dispute the fact that it (categorizing different ways of thinking) isn't science. But isn't the difference between using your intuition and feeling something on your skin intuitively obvious? Preferences simply are. I prefer logic, others...

I think that having a very sexualized character can be distracting and leave the audience wondering, "What is going on? Sex, plot, themes, symbols?". One might also experience cognitive dissonance if one sees sex as "dirty" or "crude," and admittedly, I find it to be something of an overused...

The use of a euphemism implies knowledge of the truth, and to accuse me of using a euphemism is to leave the bolder, more unsupported claim unstated: that I am a charlatan and a sophist who has foresaken reason for the realm of fantasy and a coward too afraid to let his ideas be subject to...

If they're ESTJ's, then I say we have them manage our chain restaurants. -Duxwing

I don't want to sound like a sophist, but do you really need a definition, or are you trying to drag me into a drawn out battle about semantics? Anyway, you're trying to understand these differences as if they were diseases, as if we're diagnosing people with INTP-osis and prescribing...

Yes, but psychoanalysis, phrenology, and alchemy of psychology are separate subjects, and not necessarily associated with cognitive functions if one sees the latter as a categorization of cognitive preferences. One needn't make a predictive claim (the hallmark of both science and pseudoscience)...

More importantly, who drew the blueprints? -Duxwing

*bows* And I hope that I'll never have to do that again. -Duxwing

Indeed. -Duxwing

The two hemispheres are more interlinked than originally thought. When processing language, for example, the left brain processes grammar while the right brain processes intonation; both are active, but in different ways. -Duxwing

*chuckles* I'll try to contain my hugging urges somehow. ;) Nick The paths that young ones take certainly could intrigue those who have already made their way: a kind of live experiment, an almost vicarious experience of youth for those who have lost it. Am I correct, Solitaire? -Duxwing

I'm sorry that I had to point my gun at you, but innocent lives were at stake. *reaches into his backpack and pulls out some soda* Want some? -Duxwing

Awwww. I'm glad that you find me interesting. :) -Duxwing

That's quite a compliment to the INTP Forum. :) -Duxwing

*hears missles coming in* GET TO THE VAULT! *slams the foot-thick metal door behind himself and TSR* I'm going to have to do this myself, then. *unzips TSR's jacket to find a brick of C4 rigged to two electrodes over his chest* A true dead-man switch. Brilliant. Don't move or you're going...

Re: Validity of forum voting I suspect that if you hear a slogan or point of view enough, even if said slogan or point of view is garbage, then you'll be affected by it in unconscious ways despite your better judgment. -Duxwing

Seconded. -Duxwing

*Glances at Walfin* Don't move. This guy could be wearing a bomb, and you can't try a smoking crater. Just get back and wait until the bomb squad shows up. *radioes* Cognisant We've got a 43-82 at the courthouse: requesting immediate explosive ordinance disposal on one subject potentially...

I got 28 out of 32 right. I never knew that the Jewish Sabbath starts on a Friday. -Duxwing

*levels M4 at TSR, hands gripping the pistol grip and magazine well, scratches on his barrel gleaming under the fluorescent lights* Alright, now everybody calm down; get back fifty meters from Reflex. We might have an explosive device on our hands. OK, friend, we can all walk away this if you...

There is no "Why" out there, and there never can be. Reading Godel is a good start to discover the utter meaninglessness of existence, and I can help you understand why existence doesn't need to have one. -Duxwing

The above is an example of moving the goalposts: you're moving this debate into solipsism just so that you can avoid admitting that you were wrong within the previous axiomatically construct: take your lumps like debater with a backbone. Moreover, since Moving the Goalposts is a logical...

I only produced a report on, and was only ordered to look into, whether Popsicles were available whatsoever, from whom or of what kind, nor I was never personally informed of the vendor chosen, nor was there any public newsletter on the subject, and nor, on the grounds that I was never given...

What? Why wouldn't one examine every possible explanation? What they showed there is not dishonesty, but rigor and thoroughness: they looked at every single presented explanation of 9/11 and either confirmed or debunked it. Moreover, implicit in your statement is the assumption that their...

You know, that's actually quite a good idea. What, barring gay pornography itself, could be more homoerotic than watching two incredibly muscular, spandex-clad men wrestle? -Duxwing

@SpaceYeti @Cognisant @Felan @joal0503 @BigApplePi You can download the latest version of "Noah and Sloan" here. I hope that you all like it! :) If you've got any thoughts, please post them! -Duxwing

Nice comic: I await your continued posts. :) -Duxwing

*big, warm smile* Awwww, that's adorable! :) I wish you two the best of luck in your endeavors. My curiosity was the result of my ever present doubt: I never heard you say the words, "I love Auburn" or "We've been dating," etc., so I didn't quite close the book on whether you two were lovers...

Whoa, that's not what I meant! ;) --Regarding my first statement, I meant that I think that he worries that accepting a compliment would lead to his ego becoming inflated, rather than just causing a pleasant warmth. And the ego is a parasite upon what, exactly? We are ego's; that's what...

How long have you two been together? -Duxwing

I've tried informing him of how altruistic he is, but he will not accept it. I think that he's nervous about inflating his ego. As for my life, I've overcome existential despair! I'm doing better, but my solution (realizing that I've been trying to create a substitute for feeling, and...

I meant that both in the personal and literal sense: sometimes people don't understand my logic and intuition. -Duxwing

You seem to be experiencing the first pangs of depression. Like the other posters mentioned: -Do something different to stimulate your mind -Consider the cessation of alcohol consumption for the time being -Begin exercise and look for nutritional deficits If your symptoms persist...

This forum is my haven from all the people who don't understand me; my refuge in emotional storms. And its safety lies in my anonymity: I am Duxwing, free from my past and able to define myself by my own will. To attach my real name to each post would be to place a great burden of worry...

Auburn PhoenixRising *huge smile* *laughs* I never said that having children was a good idea! I was just explaining how to get around infertility. :) And I wonder why you both responded to the children quote in the exact same way-- almost as if you'd talked to each other about it before...

Depressed intelligent people are treated especially so: we're expected to have insight into our problems-- if we had it, why would we be depressed?-- a concrete plan for how to solve our problems-- if we had one, we'd just ask our friends and family to help us carry it out-- and the ability to...

So you're saying that all people have the same reaction to using a certain process, and therefore a person who exhibits certain external symptoms must be using that process? How did you figure out which symptoms evidence which function? -Duxwing

Not to be a grammar Nazi, but you can have children, you just can't survive pregnancy. If you want to raise a child, then just find a partner (this'll be a long-term project, so pick someone that you really like!) and grab as many children as you want from a local orphanage, then raise them and...

The necessity of evidence-- experience, as you put it-- depends on the type of philosophy. The construction of logical structures, like Modus Ponens or the empty set doesn't require anything but an able mind: the subject matter is a Form. Conversely, empirical questions, by definition...

Bravo, Auburn, Bravo! But how did you know the types of the examples? Wouldn't the absence of an empirical model make doing so impossible? -Duxwing

*shrugs* Meh, the only untrue statement was (paraphrased) "No more positive comments;" everything else was pretty much spot on. -Duxwing

Bah, I bet he invented it. :D -Duxwing

Those with problems voice their tales of woe, but silent voices all sound the same: Perhaps the families of world are not in such dire straits. -Duxwing

Your claim is rather extraordinary in itself. I've met several very confident women with high pitched voices (even when compared to other women) and one of them is an EXFJ, no less. A better word for what you've described, then, is dominance, but that claim doesn't hold water, either. Teddy...

Now when you'd said, "she's trying to marry [you]," did you mean that she is attempting to become your wife, or do you mean that she is trying to find a girl for you in such a way, and with such vigor, that you are irritated and disturbed? The latter would be more commonplace, but the former...

Yikes! But why 25 as opposed to 24 or 26? -Duxwing

Of course I like to practice Fe: practicing it is more fun than practicing Si. 25 years past? That sounds like an interesting story. -Duxwing

Good point, good point. Unless you call in sick for the funeral (perhaps a good move) you'll be grilled by someone, but whom? The ones who liked him will want you to be sad, the ones who hated him will want you to be quiet-- perhaps you can find a happy medium and avoid the ire of both...
