    Global warming. Fact or bullshit?

    Global temperature fluctuations been happening for centuries, there's nothing new in it, and it hardly constitutes or implies immediate global catastrophe, just business as usual. In the case if the cause were of our making, and there were any real danger of us floating off the globe, I would...

    Global warming. Fact or bullshit?

    ^ I omitted to mention, but it was assumed that I don't hold with global catastrophe scenario. I just picked up from there and specified the category where I thing this particular brand of bullshit belongs.

    Global warming. Fact or bullshit?

    Bull$hit with dollar signs. The campaign would have never gained such a widespread exposure and backing if it weren't quite so financially profitable and rewarding scheme with the added advantage of supposedly eco-friendly image fronting the whole idea, making it quite easy to manipulate public...

    Movies that messed with your head when you were a kid

    Alexander Nevsky film, the battle on the ice. Quite a highlight of my cinematic experience... I was 8 when I saw it. Parents gave me a present, children's pool with table and everything, while I was watching it, and I'd never felt more grim in my life. Normally I would had given half of my toys...

    "you look lovely"

    I think genuine interest is the best compliment one can give. I compliment appearance only if there is an opportunity to say it casually and I can get away with it without making an event of it. Strangely, enthusiasm about someone's new gadgets or any other number of things is quite often...

    INTP Land: Culture

    Agriculture.. supposedly started 3 course meals.. some of us real connoisseurs go for 4th, 5th , 6th.. Ad infinitum meals without intervals for those who decide to fight culture with culture.

    What do you drive?

    It was long ago, at least no one tried to steal it. Once I left it with the keys in the door in full view on quite busy street for approx. 2 hours, and I found it where I left it. Nobody attempted a joyride. Perhaps I would mind less the conspicuousness of red with Mustang. In fact i...

    What do you drive?

    Obvious preference for red I see; maybe it's the most safe (according to statistics), but also the most hard on the eyes and annoying colour to live with. My first car was red Volkswagen Passat estate dumped on me by my colour blind parent.

    Do brilliant minds converge on similar ideas?

    Convergence happens on all levels, it's just a question of quality of the ideas/thoughts. Small minded converge on their trite level, to each mind its operational level. I am more interested in timing of those ideas, synchronicity, and I have in mind outstanding thinkers, and even more...

    The music has died.

    Ever tried the regression, going back before the handover? 40s, 50s.. the party hardly started, everyone's still fresh as daisies, plenty to choose from. That is if you're going for vocals, imo instrumental music is less tiring especially when feeling audio-hangover-ish

    Do you respond to depressed individuals with hostility?

    To tell the truth, I am not very good at recognizing or reading emotions, and I keep second guessing quite a lot. It can be I don't notice depression or anxiety in other people easily unless it's quite obvious, signs can be so easily misrepresented/misread. With friends and relatives I just take...

    Calling Classical Musicians/Classical Music Lovers?

    ^ Ditched all the earphones I had couple of years ago. I was quite happy with my Sennheiser for the home listening, but when moving around I used those in-ear earphones what was most of the time, until I started hearing funny noises in my ears afterwards, that resembled tinnitus. I would use...

    Have you ever been in a situation where you didn't know what to say?

    My vagueness probably is too much even for the INTP forum, I thought I could get away with it here... The particular incident I had in mind when I posted my reply, happened to be quite personal. That was a situation that left me a little stunned and not were I could answer in a pedestrian...

    Have you ever been in a situation where you didn't know what to say?

    Never mind not knowing what to say, sometimes I even don't know what to think, and obscure F function doesn't help matters either.

    Is it INTP or just me?

    If concerts, then only in the classical vein. Dancing. Bearable, but not particularly interesting. Sports. No. Not even Olympics. I would watch them for instructive purpose if I were in that sports branch myself

    When you work, the world disappears...

    The same here. Not necessarily even working, just plain thinking suffice. People get annoyed or offended, they think they're being ignored. This makes me feel concerned a little, because even relatives do and after years of knowing me they should know better then get offended. My theme song on...

    What is your favorite color?

    I don't understand how it is possible to like or dislike a colour, or have a favorite one. Meaning purely in abstract sense. Colour favoritism in connection to some situation like weddings, events, or in connection with objects , for example, preference for white shirts, and dislike of purple...

    Healthy diet *not any!*

    Blood test should show you if you have vitamin deficiency, imho it's much easier then diagnosing yourself. In regards to B12 I've read somewhere ( when I'll find this link I will post it) that food containing B12 has to be consumed in smaller amounts, but frequently for the better absorption...

    Meet me - the paradigm of dysfunction

    Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of any of it. I have to admit I've never seen Dracula movie, or read the book, that's why the image was unfamiliar to me. I know the outline of the story, but when I think of it now, it doesn't look so reliable.. perhaps it isn't true. It probably just...

    I have difficulty hearing music at "face value"

    Would you want to hang around in space?

    I believe It would be the following feelings for me: inadequacy/boredom/uneasiness hanging there in the small bubble of oxygen in infinite space quite devoid of it. Earth is much more preferable, even on the boat in the ocean. Earth is more reliable with regards to oxygen supply.

    INTP pets

    I don't know, I just don't believe in the idea of animals as pets, as in pets kept at home. They have to live outdoors in my opinion. They can be tamed to some degree even some wild ones, but human habitat is still not natural environment for animals, birds, etc.
