'Low degree of confidence across the board, but to get the ball rolling:  Cassandra IxTJ Iron Bull ExTJ Blackwall ISxJ Varris ExTP Sera ISxP Cole IxFP Solas INxP Vivienne xNTJ|||Yes. I don't think there's much room for ambiguity here.   I'd say ESFP, but I can see why you'd lean ESTP. Clearly she extraverts perception: intensely curious, uninterested in commitment,...|||My advice would be to stop empathizing and instead locate agency at levels other than that of the individual. It will help you suspend judgment and is good historical practice in its own right. And...|||Weird is, very often, the S term for N. It needn't be derogatory, either. Non-weird people can appreciate weird people, just as the weird can appreciate those who are a little more grounded.|||Oh, I'm not complaining that we discuss philosophy here. (If anything, I wish there were more parallel discussions on the other type forums so more direct comparison of intuitions could be done.)...|||Based on stereotype you'd think we'd be better about defining our terms, though; sheesh.|||Women get a lot of messages on online dating sites, and the vast majority of them are incredibly boring. (Of the minority that are not boring, about half are genuinely interesting and half are...|||Yup, this is an SJ's game, as a look at any military in the world should indicate.|||Almost certainly not, because both of those beliefs are incredibly rare. Don't fall prey to the base rate fallacy.   (I'm inclined to the view that if there are such things as qualia then they're...|||Present in this thread, and every one I've seen like it over Yon Internetes: Yeah, I'm not a feminist because they hate men.  Not present: YEAH I'M A FEMINIST BECAUSE MEN ARE THE FUCKING WORST...|||Don't knock on hate. Struggles for justice often come from a place of hate, and gain fuel from it - hatred, if nothing else, of prevailing conditions. If people hate their oppressors as individual...|||It might be worth thinking about the ways in which different types are able to genetically and memetically reproduce themselves, and the ways these interact (assuming we're credulous about all of the...|||You have to have some sort of belief before you take any sort of intentional action. So I'll certainly lend my assent to the idea that opinions (in this sense) are the root of all evil: if we didn't...|||This and fear. Most violence - especially large-scale political violence - is rational in the sense of being a(n often very effective) means towards achieving concrete ends. Every social system of...|||My Ti-Ne P-ness.|||INFPs are the best. :)|||Any man can be accused of rape - but most who are are guilty, and most who're guilty aren't, and most who are get reflexively defended. Any amount of default confidence we place in accusations is...|||Oh, huh, I somehow inserted a not in there. Sorry about that!|||Oh, I'm absolutely not saying they aren't horrible, just that I'm not sure I agree with the idea that they're worse on account of being stupid. I hope I didn't say anything to trivialize your...|||At the most abstract level, patriarchy.  At a more concrete level: many rape myths are prevalent because, sociologically, they help to reproduce patriarchy, and psychologically, they protect people...|||If you take a look at communities organized around occultism or fundamentalism or conspiracy theories, there are pretty much always people who are interested in the stuff at a theoretical level,...|||This thread is interesting because it's kind of a window into how people who pride themselves on orthography think people who don't spell. Natural misspellings are quite different - this seems to...|||I get it and I'm still facepalming.|||Incidentally, it doesn't really apply to wolves either - the Greek Alphabet stuff was inferred from how wolves behave in captivity, not the wild. (Arguably one could say that humans are more in...|||All of these are of the form here's why <unpopular idea> is actually true, which is perfectly INTPish.|||Take this one too and give us the results, even if they appear cryptic.|||You can likely go without the membership, depending on the layout of the gym - just make a beeline for the shower as though you're intending to work out afterwards.|||Both INTJ and INFP are Fi-Te, whereas INTP is Ti-Fe. Would you say that you're more fluid - thinking critically, but responding to peer pressure - or solid - having a clear internal sense of what...|||Better yet, throw a party. Friends are always valuable in a pinch; invest sooner rather than later.|||Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book - you can comply with the title by clicking here - is the classic work on this. There are necessary updates, obviously.   If public facilities are enough to get you...|||One aspect of Jungian function theory seems directly falsifiable: the degree to which the ordering of the functions depends on the combination of axes. A 1-n counterexample to the theory: I reliably...|||The subset of feminists who say that all porn is bad actually do define porn as the subset of masturbation aids that are bad, so the statement is analytic, not synthetic. This doesn't quite jibe...|||Giving up porn is really easy, though? I know because I quit cold turkey successfully (for my own reasons, not my girlfriend's request) and I have basically no self-control at all. It's not something...|||I love being a nerd; I hate the ridiculous ressentiment that infects groups of people identifying as nerds. Just because non-nerds have little to say of interest to nerds doesn't mean they need a...|||The difficulty of ascertaining this - and the indication of reports on the industry that my prior chance of a false positive is high - are why I quit watching porn. With the professional stuff...|||I think this betrays a fundamental misunderstanding about what moral non-realism is. Relativism in the sense we're discussing doesn't say that there are no objective truths, it says that there are no...|||Different people fundamentally value different things, and the universe itself doesn't care about anything. The relativists are fundamentally right: there's no a priori argument for why any agent in...|||I really can't emphasize this enough. Not even grad schools care about what you majored in as an undergrad.|||I would so pay for a print SEP with crayon illustrations.  If you want to read Capital, read Smith, then Ricardo, then Fine and Saad-Filho's Marx's 'Capital', and then Vol. 1 (epub here, if that's...|||Oh, it's not at all about agreement - I think Rand's basically right on metaethics, although the way she phrases it is really weird, since she wasn't in dialogue with contemporary philosophy; and...|||There's a great deal of good material out there, so if you can narrow down what it is you're looking for, do so!   If you're not quite sure, I would recommend J.L. Mackie's Ethics, Marx's German...|||Precisely. This is why Scandinavia, the only region with near-parity in parliamentary representation and parental involvement in childrearing, is so famous for its poor governance and dysfunctional...|||I believe in apostolic succession, the authority of the bishop of Rome in matters of faith and morals, justification through the sacraments and hylomorphism, but please don't call me a Catholic;...|||Like others, I don't know representative an INTP male I am, but  1) I would not say I was interested unless I was very interested, and 2) I am spotty keeping up communications with people even...|||The brain isn't centralized, it's massively parallel. There isn't really a single answer to centralization is more efficient or not; it depends on the substrate, the tasks you're trying to...|||The universe of adoptees has unusually low environmental variation, and birth and adopting parent characteristics tend to covary. Inferences from identical against heterozygotic twins aren't plagued...|||Most of your peers who repeat phrases back to the teacher aren't dumb people who can't see plain and simple lies - in fact, I guarantee you that most non-nerds are much better at detecting lies...|||Failed my test six consecutive times, which is more than it ought to have taken me to realize that a luck passing would have just made me a danger to myself and others. Since I don't intend to ever...|||Yeah, I think that's still incoherent: if human nature means anything, it means the range of molds that are possible. If you see a human doing x - rape, snowboarding, theoretical physics, whatever...|||No, it's clear that that's your belief; it's just not clear how to interpret the quoted passage - but discussing this particular point further seems useless, a trap for the conversation to become...'
