'Alias|||So, I've started a new solo music project under the alias Alias (because I can't think of anything better) and recently completed the first album, titled Voodoo. I'd like to release it ASAP but...|||I have become rather obsessed with Stoicism (philosophy) since reading about it some time last year and am interested in hearing your comments and criticisms regarding this worldview. So much of my...|||I never said I wouldn't engage in emotions at all. I said repeatedly that emotions are useful insofar as they can facilitate reason. I can engage in emotions but merely endeavor not to be driven by...|||Friday, because I gotta get down on Friday, Friday. Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend.  2AM-4AM because daytime is such an ugly time of day. So many people are awake being industrious...|||This is much like Aristotle's account of virtue, wherein states of character that lie between excess and deficiency are what we should strive for (e.g., courage should be sought, as it lies between...|||If emotions lead you to make the decision you would have otherwise made on the basis of reason, then emotions are superfluous. And if they lead you to make a different decision than the one you would...|||The way in which one conceptualizes intelligence greatly influences the way he/she tries to assess it. I'm not sure there is an objective answer. The ability to reason, solve problems, learn quickly,...|||[deleted]|||My friends do not have a problem with this because they are my friends. Those who do not accept this tendency of mine do not stick around. I make no bones about it either. If people complain, I...|||Another one: Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. This is why I don't scroll down past the videos on Youtube.|||I can relate to the lyrics.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tklYWVV-xY  #RARE #BASED|||That's what I thought after reading your post.  On an unrelated note, I have noticed a tendency in some INTP's in my life to be flagrantly stubborn and rude, as if it is society versus them. This...|||Lighten up dude. Asserting your pseudo-superiority over him makes you look like an asshole. He probably thought your desired conversation topics were as boring as you found his. Even if your meaning...|||What are your interests and hobbies? Music composition, philosophy, reading and learning (but never to the extent of becoming an expert at anything), internet foolery, and exercising.  What kind...|||wtf u mad bro? h8r lolol|||Acting altruistic out of self-interest is the most common misconception in philosophy (probably due to its cynical and simplistic view of human nature). The mere fact that you act on your own desires...|||@Vulkan  Does God command conduct because it is right or is conduct right because God commands it? If you believe that God commands conduct because it is right, you are accepting a standard that is...|||Actions are morally justified if they are backed by better reasons than the alternatives. If you think a test is unfair you would have to give reasons why (it might have been too long and required...|||Our sober walking selves are as much a chemical contrivance as any drug-induced state. Insofar as our understanding of our sober conscience is the result of chemicals, we are always in a drug-induced...|||If they could see their future and want to kill themselves because of it, they would not be able to kill themselves because that is not what the future would entail for them.  EDIT: Unless some of...|||Overcoming shyness in these scenarios is so exhilarating. I wish more people would try it. The fact that it is uncomfortable is what makes coming out of your shell so desired and appealing. If it did...|||You are over-analyzing this conundrum.|||I think the purpose of life is to find what the meaning of life is.   ...and then to find what the purpose of life is.|||Okay, I understand this distinction. What I do not understand is  skepticism towards morality, as KneeSeekerArrow put it. This is  because, like free will, we have no choice but to accept it. We...|||That matter is mostly white actually, whereas grey matter is more involved in the processing of sensory information.    My attraction to emotional intelligence and maturity has spiked since...|||Interesting you say this, because there is no proof for whether or not we even have free will. But even if the universe is deterministic in nature, you have no choice but to have free will because...|||This is true, but it does not mean morals are without reason. A moral judgment is true if it is backed by better reasons than the alternatives. They are different from scientific truths but that does...|||http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly3vqvDVv11qa4b44o1_500.jpg|||I really like Robert Fripp as well, and think he's an INTJ.   Here's an INTP:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q0nImsfMvE|||I'm the same way. Revenge requires too much energy.  It's much easier to use voodoo on people. If someone wrongs me, I don't seek revenge. Rather, I let that person's shitty behaviour continue...|||Use humor to amuse yourself.|||Chances are, INTP's will be as thoughtful in bed as they are during any other activity. While I may be carnal, I don't lose my inhibitions entirely. I want to prolong and maximize pleasure as long as...|||I have a few love/hate relationships with ISFJ's, including one with my mother.   I feel kind of bad for the ones I know because, to a lot of people, their behavioural tendencies translate to this...|||You'll never find the answer if you're thinking about why you can't maintain that creative spark. I'm a music producer also, and during my most creative days, I seem to vanish from time. I stop...|||I have my own study group. It's called ME and no one else is allowed in.|||http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FYXbXu45AQ|||I keep eye contact with everyone all the time. There's some sort of poignant energy and social edge you emanate by doing it, especially if you're wearing the curmudgeony, pissed off face at the same...|||Coming to Personality Cafe and posting on such threads as What do INTPs use for outlets might be my most common outlet.|||^ This is an unhealthy INTP/human.|||Survival instinct has proven to override many peoples' acceptance of their lives having no meaning, including mine.    Whatever existence is doesn't affect the way I interpret the world through...|||Let me rephrase it:  Admission of this concept does nothing to change the world in which we are aware of through our senses.|||Admission of this concept, like solipsism and determinism, does nothing to change the state of existence.|||Daytime is such an ugly time of day. So many people are awake being industrious and/or doing bad things. It's not just that nighttime is quieter, but I can actually feel the absence of daytime...|||Look everyone, Kilgore Trout's trying to look all cool and innocent by posting this. He's such an open book.  But seriously, this happens to me too. I'm not exactly sure why. Would it be ironic for...|||I literally hate the word literally.  In today's day and age, people still mindlessly use the phrase, in today's day and age...  I try to limit my use of like and uh/um.  The word fag...|||I like economics because more than any other discipline it provides an entirely new and different perspective for most people. It changes the way they think. Most students have very little, if any,...|||The reason why Sweden does so well is because they have incredibly low corporate taxes, so it's smart for a business to move to a jurisdiction like Sweden because despite it having high personal...|||Irrefutable: imintp custom aplate lonely  If you drive a shady windowless van: nostds lonely|||ISFJ probably.'
