    Another white male attack:

    AAAAAAAAAHHH NO! I'm just saying what the data shows, and trying to dispel any illusion that this data shows that white males are more likely to commit mass shootings merely because they are white males.

    Another white male attack:

    Well of course white males commit more mass shootings. Being more privileged, they have more time and education to consider such things for philosophical and emotional reasons. I think you will find, however, that mass shootings by historically underprivileged races have increased in later years...

    Belief in God

    But if all there are is preferences when it comes to morals, then on what grounds do you base your argument that people should not force their morals on others? Is it not a moral assertion?

    MBTI is nonsense, personality is real

    I think that a big problem here is that this discussion has been conflating the Myers-Briggs letter-based approach with the Jungian cognitive function-based approach. The letter-based approach, which focuses on 4 spectra (Introversion-Extroversion, Intuition-Sensing, Thinking-Feeling, and...

    The wise man

    In my experience, standing with people is far more important than standing alone. It may not make me wise, but I'd much rather be there for people and have people be there for me than be a lonely sage who dispenses advice but is emotionally detached.

    Why do INFJs and INTPs hate each other so much?

    I'll concede that is an ability we lack, as Ne is a shadow function for us. However, our dominant Ni lets us intuit things in seconds that would take others days to figure out, sorta like Sherlock Holmes (an INTJ), easily one of the best examples of Ni at work. Our insight is primarily about...

    [Triggered] Safe Spaces And SJW Fragility

    I find the idea that SJW culture is akin to a religion very interesting. I think that it is more like a cult though in that it alters the fundamental way that its members think. This is not to say that their values are inherently wrong, but that there are more important things, such as free...

    The wise man

    I would like to point out that a crowd is different than a council. The wise, in my perspective, are those who can think well in groups. Socrates, one of the wisest humans to have lived, placed great value in interlocution, saying that true wisdom involves being able to accept criticism of your...

    How do other people see us?

    Being a very Ni-oriented INFJ, I often have more in common with INTPs and INTJs than other INFJs, at least in my behavior. People generally see me as socially awkward but insightful, and only my close friends and family see the more sensitive side of me. Even then I am prone to keep them at...

    Clinton vs Trump, Trump vs Clinton

    John Green should be president. Here's why. Anyone who will rationally discuss health care proposals would make a much better president than either of the current candidates. However, since he's not going to win, I will just say that I loathe Trump slightly less because at least he didn't...

    Life is Meant to Be Enjoyed

    Life is not meant to be enjoyed. Life is meant to be lived. And living is about filling needs. Sometimes what you need is not what you'll enjoy, but without it you'll end up worse off. You know what's really enjoyable? Crack. Focus on meeting the needs of first yourself, then those around you...
