I was skeptical at it fist when I got ENTP (Debater) but after doing some more research and reading people's thought who are also ENTP they seem to be very similar to me. I find it interesting that you can categorize people into types.

>>7983204
just as accurate as horoscopes

Does anyone else with INTP get those crazy ass neck cramps, when they yawn? I'm pretty sure it's an INTP thing.
Normies need not apply.

You provided no counter-argument at all. Democracy will run everyone into the ground, and it already is doing so very well. Crucial ecosystems are being destroyed, global warming results in more and more climatic extremes, arable land is being eroded and most of the key resources are being depleted.

Therefore, democracy should be replaced by a system which wouldn't let everyone equal rights in voting: an ignorant creationist idiot shouldn't have the same voting power as a high-ranking academic.

The society should be structured as academia, academia should rule the society and any opinions should only be expressible through academia.
At the present time, democracy doesn't lead to any rational decisions - most of them are based on who's better at PR and empty rhetoric.

I like how we word it straight to the point,
but Reddit has to say "look very much alike"

I used to work in a factory, and eventually the janitorial work was outsourced to a local charity which employs tards. Basically every day a minder would show up and mind about 6 tards (there seemed to be a group of about a dozen who would rotate in and out) while they emptied garbage and did other cleaning tasks. OTTOMH I don't recall any "classical" Down faces in the bunch. But one guy sorta stuck out, he was by far the lowest functioning of the bunch. One of the (mentally) lowest functioning adult humans I've interacted with, actually. 20s, young man, a bunch of acne, not the scrunched face of a Down patient, but a sort of gawky/awkward large head, ironically. More of a baby-bird physique. He'd drawl out words as he'd slowly lift a light trash out of its thing, stare in the middle distance for five minutes, then be told to do the next one and then he could pretty much do it. The others could actually do a routine and complete a job but him not so much. I would honestly estimate his IQ in the 20-40 range. Fortunately he was pretty docile and agreeable, otherwise they wouldn't be "using" him.

He watched cartoons and reality TV at home I guess, once he was rambling to a very cute minder about someone "IM-PREGH-NATING" someone else on the Kardashians or whatever, complete sentences by his standards, repeating "PREGH-NANT, SHE'S PREG-NANT NOW." that was pretty awesome.

That is kinda right pal.

How far in to 'taste' the drug? I'm highschool math+halfway through spivak right now. How much more until the addiction sets in?

There is no paradox when you consider how rare life is.

>>7975863
I think it's because no organisms are currently inhabiting our small part of the galaxy or maybe universe (I emphasis currently). Maybe at one point there was an group of organism. Populations of organisms might just not live long enough to evolve into complex intelligent life forms (Intelligent enough to survive catastrophic events). This also applies to life on earth, In all likelihood, sometime soon (A few million years), life will be totally wiped out.

Outrage incoming. Funny how scientific facts won't matter when fee-fee's are about to get hurt

Isn't the difference in volume just due to the fact that male bodies are larger on average than females'

Two things:

1) Neanderthals had bigger brains than humans and they went fucking extinct, and were dumber. This point illustrates how your insinuation is based on your lack of understanding of basic biology. Off yourself.

2) Don't off yourself yet, off yourself knowing that there are women in STEM RIGHT NOW with smaller brains than you and have achieved a lot more and are far smarter than you will ever be.

It's 50-50, since you can rule out the grey box. It's also a feint of the Monty Hall problem, which is probably where the stupidity comes from. The difference is so slight that it's almost unnoticeable.

If there is a gold ball in the box, what is the probability of the other one being gold.

[math]P(G|G) = \frac{P(G \wedge G)}{P(S \wedge G) + P(G \wedge G)} = \frac{1/3}{1/3 + 1/3} = \frac{1}{2}[/math]

Should have stopped there senpai. Our problems are That we are fucking the earth.

>>7972347
No we aren't, human footprints are comparatively small on the grand scale of things. Earth doesn't mind anyway. It's like saying it's sexual assault if I hotglue a statue.

>>7972348
It will be shitty for us, that's the point. Not everyone who has a concern for the environment is a new age hippie gaia faggot.

I've talked to senior research scientists (females) about this and they all agree that sexism in STEM is pretty much BS. Can't you just dismiss it as just another popular culture phenomenon like everyone else?

>>7968599
>like everyone else?

Yeah, like everyone else.

I really think they dropped out because of sexism.

Do these have problem sets, exams and such?

>>7982605
Because ugly people still have babies. Also ugliness mostly isnt genetic

Define ugly

>>7982605
Because evolution is slow, whereas life itself isn't.

Realistic sex robots. That is the primary goal that all technology has been moving us towards. Nothing else even matters.

Hu-hu-hu-hu yeaah baby, yeah!

no, because blurriness is lack of information. You would need more information in order to let a person see better

wut?

>>7982742
Look up Fourier transforms, transfer functions and how they are used to solve differential equations

>>7982758

I do not think that is relevant desu

>>7982742
What book is that? because its written like shit

What he does is let [math] x(t) = \hat{x}e^{i\omega t}[/math] with [math] \hat{x} [/math] some constant because you know that the position will be a function of [math] t [/math] only in that form.

Plug this into equation 23.3 and differentiate and you get 23.4

A huge chunk of PhDs awarded are for people like Melissa Click who literally go to cons to study fandoms.

Also, turns out a lot of people are inherently retarded.

For example, for thousands of years philosophers have made arguments for the existance of god, only for their argument to be destroyed by the next generation of philosophers. But the punchline is that both those who do arguments for god and those who do arguments against god... BELIEVE IN GOD.

I've always known that people who study philosophy are retarded but seriously. Thousands of years of easily disproving pro-god arguments and no one has made the connection that maybe, JUST MAYBE, god doesn't exist.

Lets just give the philosopher brainlets a couple thousands of years more, I'm sure they can make it.
