Long time no see. How's everyone? Nice to see the community still has the same core ppl and the theme hasn't changed too much. Though things seem a bit less busy, like it's slowly dying down. Also, why does everyone here think they're so intelligent? I get that it's part of the glue that...

Gratz to those who get the reference ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Like, is it physically possible?

I know there's at least two of us who love this game (Alias and I). Anyone else play regularly? What class(es) do you main? What draws you to the game? I play spy by far the most. Being deceptive and tricking people, especially landing trickstabs, I find so satisfying and exhilarating. It's...

"Oh you have to vote to express your opinion. It's the right thing to do" It completely startles me how many intelligent people think they should vote. It really, really defies my understanding. It simply won't make any difference. EDIT: skip this bit and read my later post, much more...

Recently I realised that Intropsective describes me better than Intoverted (in the sense that it's a more accurate description of what I do when I'm doing it, as opposed to something I do most of the time, although I would bet my ratio of introspection/thinking is higher than the average...

Toast with honey is actually all about the butter.

Recently I noticed http://iqexam.net/exam.php was broken. I thought I'd be helpful and point it out. http://iqexam.net/ works and says to contact admin@this website for comments etc. emailing admin and variations @iqexam.net returned no such user at this domain - i.e. the email account...

What makes us human? So many cliché answers, but it's not love, curiosity, the will to explore. Nor is it Interstellar's answer of the idiosyncracy of human relationships, our very fundamental requirement for some social interaction. No, it's actually very different - any emotion humans...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfsE7w1zZKY compare to this http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=13242&highlight=type Makes me wonder how much of MBTI/typology is a placebo. I'm not doubting there is validity, just perhaps less than I saw before.

I just wanted to say thanks guys. I like this place. Mostly.

Well, you know how we have confining to siberia, temp-banning and perma-banning? How about we convert that into temp-siberia, temp-ban and perma-siberia? I know I'm hardly the forum frequenter but I want to put it out there. I feel it could lead to the creation of a rather amusing and even...

With this thread I'm planning to make a little go-to for all the myriads of people who suddenly realise that life is absurd and are having some crisis about it. I really don't think such time needs to be spent dealing with these crises on a case by case basis, unless someone is depressed or...

I have this attitude towards Christmas that is captured by mildly interested participation. I'll help put up some decorations, I'll make an effort to get some nice presys, etc. The best part is of course opening all the presents :D (the only part I get excited about, I don't really like...

Heard of it? If you haven't already, play it. Mesmerizing experience. Unfortunately can't say anything you won't experience yourself anyway in the first half hour. Perhaps a little slow at first, but so cool. EDIT: there's a web (free) version and iOS (cheap) version, and I think the iOS is...

Just kinda curious. If you were interviewed, what was your experience? Mine was... unpleasant. And I looked like a bit of an idiot :D.

So, I pulled together this coming soon page in a couple of hours (with the help of a template which I did modify a bit though) and I wanted to know what you guys thought. I'll post the finished website here too when I'm done with it. Quite a bit of work went into the background photo. That logo...

Poured hours of my life into this game when I was young. Have been waiting for the anniversary edition which is coming out soon for AGES (way before it was confirmed). Am I alone?

Anyone read it? If not, will give full impressions once I finish. Looks like a very intelligent book so far... Essentially a literary approach to philosophical ideas and discussions.

As far as I know (not that much), I'm the only member who's come back to life (previous account was coolydudey60, permabanned, http://intpforum.com/member.php?u=3775. *sigh* I was dumb). Do you reckon there might be anyone covertly evading a ban? Don't think IP banning is used immediately, is...

I thought that was a nice quote. A little one-sided perhaps, and in places lacking truth, but a good quote nonetheless. Anyone care to disagree or provide a personal opposing perspective?

So much emphasis on creativity and problem solving nowadays, sheesh. Well I'll tell you a more interesting thing to do for a change. On a completely blank slate: come up with a creative problem. They needn't be original; just creative from your perspective. Now I would have interpreted that as a...

Would it be some intractable maths problem? An answerable riddle of the sort: "Is this question unanswerable?". Some issue of philosophical/personal importance which can only be answered subjectively (is there a god?). Some question it's hard to accept the answer to? What is a "hardest"...

Realized it must be tiresome for people to search through all the crap on my other thread to find the music, so re-posting just the music here. Please keep posting to a minimum and address any comments to http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=16023. Thanks forum for pushing me along with all my...

not a minecraft player but thought this would be a cool project to do on my raspberry pi. If enough people are interested, here is what I am going to do: get a heatsink and proper thermal paste, then overclock from arm_freq=700 (CPU) core_freq=250 (GPU+Cache) sdram_freq=400 (RAM) to...

The Ti dominant is a judging function that likes to categorize and organize, even if mostly only thoughts. Yet it can definitely create behavior that is outside of the "complete disorganized mess" stereotype. What I find in me is that it creates some order in chaos. Examples: a)my room is a bit...

I remember there was a thread about this, but alas, poll-less. Apple made a serious change of UI with the new OS, which I know has created split opinions. Personally I've stuck with the latest version of iOS6, which I think is much sleeker and less childish-looking. Most people I know have...

Just gave 10 pounds.

Compiling some cool forum statistics to put on here. Anybody know how to get views per sub-forum in the meantime?

Having not been in a relationship for a while, I met this girl a few days ago that I've started going out with. We haven't done much yet, but I already feel quite close to her, I'd say we're pretty similar too (I suspect she may be an INTX). Anyway, the board has long known that I am a nihilist...

I think this is a good way of describing moods I often get into (about a day long), although obviously not with the full punch of the word. A little forlorn. Do you know what I mean? Do you ever get the same feeling?

Normally the viewing count is of the order of 100 on the big subforums, now it's just 5. What's up? Is it because of the outage we had? Also, despite the fact that people keep saying that it's all bots, if you look at the most ever online bit at the bottom of the forum, at least half of them...

As in, what is your general impression of the people here on the forum, excluding other types (as far as you know people's types here, and unless you want to do an inclusive and exclusive description)? I find that people here are very similar to me not in who they are, but how they are...

Found an awesome program which lets you (amongst other things) enter data, define a neural network and fit the neural network to the data using two different algorithms, so as to (amongst other things) predict future values in the data. It's called neuro progression. Amazingly powerful...

This question is inherently different to asking "what is philosophy?", as it is equivalent to "what is philosophy comprised of?", and you can only describe something by its contents, not equate it to them. Having said that, it is similar, and that may be the reason why I haven't personally seen...

To answer any questions, to find any information, to learn how to present ideas/to write, with your english, with your mental stability/health, or anything else? I'll post about how it's helped me later

We live in an age of decreasing individuality. Our educational system, our workplaces, our possessions, our prison system - all are designed for the mass. In this impersonal reality, everyone is forced to conform: school is mandatory, work is mandatory (sort of), going to prison is mandatory...

Is more real than you think. http://www.wanttoknow.info/mindcontrol10pg#cia Very interesting.

Alert: somewhat narcissistic post! You have been warned. Exam results came out in the UK yesterday, and all went well enough for me to have the chance to study in what is probably the best university in the UK for maths (Cambridge) :smoker::D. I'm not trying to boast or anything (although I'm...

As in, do any of you do film photography? I got really interested in it lately, and have shot many rolls of both medium format and 35mm. Although its detail per sqaure unit of area has just been surpassed (digital cameras have gained more megapixels than film has in the past 5 years. The...

After all, it's the reason why many claim to be on the forum. Name a topic you've been thinking about recently that warrants some debate and that's exactly what we'll do. Do wait until the previous is finishing to start your own. I'll start: I was thinking about the prison system. Well, we...

It's the best I've found online, hands down. http://iqexam.net/exam.php For anyone interested, they should definitely take a look. Takes 20 minutes

Computers are literally invading our life in this modern world. I'm sure you could count on your fingers the members of the living adult population who have not come into contact with microchips during their lifetime, and it will be a minuscule percentage of people who do not do so daily. By...

Today, after much thought, I realised why I find piano exams so stressful. It's up to you to crack the case now, and (hopefully) have some fun in the process. To within reason, you can ask some questions to get extra info before you post your verdict. The story With normal exams, I am...

It is amazing it took a full 122 posts to ban this chap: Coolydudey60 (http://intpforum.com/member.php?u=3775). I was soooo annoying... .... It seems I was just too young and immature to be on a forum. Although that differs from person to person. What's also cool is how much my posting...

I have split the poll into two categories: for INTPs and non-INTPs... Please use it accordingly. Hopefully we will get to see some cool trends.

Many people have periodically complained about the forum. I guess my ideal would be more intellectual, more serious (depending on the part of the forum and discussion), and even smarter. Basically looking for a larger amount of challenging intellectual engagement and debate than there is now...

What does this forum mean to you?

Warning: asking for help. I borrowed an (admittedly quite cheap) microphone for a couple of days, and am getting a lot of static with it. It still shouldn't be there though. Anyone know how I can go about reducing it, not from a software point of view? I've already tried reducing the level...

The gopher noted: Quite truthfully really (he drew inspiration from hawkeye in the thread in Crime and Punishment). It seems that we are ill-equipped to present our ideas with conviction while staying logically consistent AND convincing. Meanwhile, if something we believe in is violated, we...
