What you said about confirmation bias was my initial thought to your question. I sometimes force myself to take notice when I have strong unexplainable predictions, and counted how many of them come true. The feelings were often just false alarms. But if one hits, it certainly feels more...

In canada, the government is finally looking into banning and criminalizing conversion therapy. I know online comments will be biased towards ignorant loud-mouths, but the majority in those spaces felt that the government could be dealing with more important issues. When people react with "the...

When Derren Brown claims to use it, he's actually just doing old tricks. For example, in his heavy box trick, he claims NLP makes the participants feel the box is heavier. In reality, he's performing the same trick by Robert Houdin using an electro-magnet. You can find Derren brown admitting...

I don't think I can answer this thoroughly. There's different approaches to judge right and wrong, and they can conflict. A decision could be honorable but foolish, and the smart decision could be unfair. Generally, I'd look at the effects of everyone involved and base my assessment on...

This topic was made and maintained by trolls baiting an emotional response. It's an abusive game of you-react-you-lose. There isn't a shred of intellectual honesty here. You people intellectualizing dating are a joke...lol.

I've been using anki to help memorize and study. It's an open-source flashcard app that supports audio/image, reverse-cards and tracks your progress stats. I'm doing really well with it.

By masculine, do you mean machismo? I'm guessing being patient, and empathetic are not considered masculine? I couldn't find evidence that women seek androgynous men for relationships. What are alpha genes? Where are you getting your info from?

I'm breaking the rules because it's not a series. Extraordinary homes on Netflix. I don't like to think I'm a person who's easily amazed by things, but I'm easily amazed by the homes on this show for some reason.

Inex isn't voicing my opinion, but I'm not an active member here. From what I can tell, Kormak's internet problems don't have anything to do with the mods. Nobody is being politically censored. In reading the history of the forum, people have written extreme opinions, and nobody has been...

A lot of my friends were ISFP's with a few FJ's and STJ's too. None of them talk to me anymore. Also, I'm a 30 year old trapped in a 7 year old body.

There are recurring questions in this topic: "Why does homosexuality exist? What are it's advantages?" The first question is vague and invokes more than one answer depending on how it's framed. If you assume there has to be a reason because evolution has a goal, the question reads as "what was...

I haven't seen or read the studies. But heritability in studies is confusing. Even if there is heritability, I don't think it can be inferred that genes caused the trait (?), only that there is a correlation between gene variability and trait variability.There'd probably be a high...

I have no idea who the jeering leftists are. All I said was that I'm glad people can speak their mind.

I'm glad people can be open about how they feel in this little safe space.

Jubes and chocolate-covered coffee beans.

Some science claims are more controversial than others. For instance, race and intelligence is one of the more controversial ones. But how is dogma in the science of how starfish feed? Or plant photosynthesis? It's more productive to discuss the validity of something more specific than to...

Rupert Sheldrake is a crank. Finding real problems with Big Science doesn't change the fact that his new age woo is bullshit.

Weird, I thought everyone was like this.

I'm not sure how helpful this will be: I've been playing with caffe which is a deep learning framework used by Google's DeepDream. Although it looks like it might only be good for image recognition stuff, sorry.

If you're doing self-discipline because someone said you should, then you're doing it wrong. That's other-discipline.

Nope, my level of knowledge and aptitude is near average. It's a little painful to realize when I measure myself against sharper individuals, but I also have a sense of relief that my ego and exceptions are realistically set. By being aware of how prone I am to making mistakes, I become a...

I was moreso toying with the irony of the perceived majority's view of typology. It's probably not that funny. Currently, I don't think of MBTI at all anymore. But there was a time when it mattered quite a lot.

Here's mine: Which is spot on, because I'm having a lot of friction with someone at the moment. But here's a plot twist: I'm not taurus. I chose a sign by random and tried to see how closely I can match it with my personal life. I find this fun for some reason.

This place is weird. It's like going to astrology.com and finding out that everyone there hates astrology and talks about everything except astrology. MBTI is just like astrology.

Aku no Hana (The Flowers of Evil) is intriguing as the story progresses.

I'm guessing we would get higher scores after studying critical thinking material. I shared the test because the questions tickled me. I knew I was supposed to suppress my gut instinct and focus solely on whether the argument was strong (or assumption made etc), and assume the statements were...

Try: https://www.assessmentday.co.uk/watson-glaser-critical-thinking.htm#section-free Post results. Talk about it. I was surprised how bad I did. In the arguments test, I only got 15/25 questions correct on my first attempt. I partly blame that on not fully acknowledging what was being...

Good game everyone!

Random thought space can definitely turn nightmarish and surreal. Welcome!

Random thoughts need safe spaces. Marginalized by orderliness.

You have to win the game. On cat mode, you're a cat with 9 lives.

Ava! Bob! Kay, a red nude, peeped under a yak!

Nurses Run!! Race car!

Nobody is outside in winter. It's great to find peace in a world to myself.

Could it be because she was born on a palindrome day? October 2, 2001 (10-02-2001) Or at least, anything to do with palindromes?

If you have a text editor that shows the invisible characters like newlines and spaces, a really odd bunch of spaces and tabs shows up in the code after each phrase. After that, it only took a few minutes for me to check them against morse code, and then binary. In binary ASCII it reads...

I think I've solved the code one! The code needs two space characters removed from after the phrase "and he smiled", and another two space characters removed after the phrase "and he said". This would perfectly set up a binary code of tabs and spaces every other line which when converted to...

It was a good answer catGod. Made me go d'oh! My head's full of yo dawg memes now, make it stop!! Argh!

ⰁⰊ GOSPER CURVE ....aka.... flowsnake????

I know Mike Tyson for sure. I'm going to guess Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister from GOT)?? Prince Philip ??

Ⰶ from https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/xzibit-yo-dawg : "The original photograph of Xzibit comes from a set of studio portraits that were originally used to promote the 2006 sports drama film Gridiron Gang, in which the rapper plays the role of a minor character named Malcolm Moore."

Saladin Ahmed?

The Code one: do you speak'a my language? he just smiled gave me a vegemite sandwich and he said i come from a land down under where the beer does flow and the men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? <---Correction you better run you better take...

Billy i) The chances of billy looking in a direction where there is no points is infinitely more than than if he happens to look in a more rational point direction (like 1, 1). So very probably yes billy will see white, almost certainly. Billy ii) As n approaches infinity, the fraction of...

You gave all the answers -_- EDIT: Oh, Feb 9th.
