Life means that I've made a positive impact on the life of another, hopefully several others. What does life mean to you?

You're making it work, and I'm certain working towards a more roomy future.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Ah, happy belated birthday to Mako then.

You can download all the episodes off certain sites. When they initially came aired you could have streamed them as well. I didn't pay.

I've experienced the same problem. But they're the ones missing out, IMO. Have you watched the newer series, LoK?

Not in any way. I am definitely a solid introvert. My confidence and broad knowledge base allows me to come across as an extrovert at times. I even like public speaking. But being around people definitely saps me. If given the choice of living in a big city or a deserted island for the rest of my life I would ask if I would be provided with sunblock.
This weekend I am going camping with my wife and a bunch of her friends. The idea of being trapped, in close proximity to semi-strangers, with nothing more than a nylon fabric wall to hide behind when I want to get away….I can already feel my chest constricting.

Thanks, yes, my dad and brother are ENTJs. I used to hang out with an ENTJ guy quite a bit too.

Ah. I once was singled out during a subject and taken around to see everyone elses drawing work.

I guess that made me the most in need of improvement of the lot.

Now that's a good idea, like buying a new chip or something. This is why we need INTJs, because if these things ever become an actuality one day, it's you guys which will most likely make it happen!

Heh, i dunno. I don't know i'm doing anything truth be told it's just natural. And because of that naturalness, it's not so much that non-fiction is a source of inspiration (although it is i agree on occasion), it's just that for whatever reason the INFP is already creating these worlds from a very young age. The inspiration comes from within - and that's the cheesiest thing i'll probably say all day - but it does contain a kernel of truth. I have a bit of TJ envy too you know, which is another reason why i'm trying to plug that gap by digesting lots and lots of non-fictional information.

Hmm.

I think Socs would pose a question rather than deliver something so direct

Love? But isn't that an emotion?

Can one love the rational path and truly love the rational path if you think love isn't part of the rational path?

I think as Plato's portrayal of Socs goes he was "enlightened" by love and then deepened his wanderings down the rational path.

So while the rational path was important, neglecting love and its role seems nonsensical.

But I may be a tad rusty.

Ohhhhh, consciousness is located in the prefrontal cortex. Awesome, mystery solved. I'll let the neurologists know.

you mean "corporal punishment"

I agree.

Sorry, i took a break. I completely lose interest in things and i will just ignore them until i feel ready to come back around. I rebuked the assertion that consciousness be the determining factor of what gives human life the right to live - the potential of thought is what gives human life value. When we decide the fate of a terminally ill patient, or comatose patient, we do not ask, "Is this person conscious?" when we are deciding his or her fate. On the contrary, we ask, "Will this person live through this ailment/does he or she have the potential to regain their humanity?" It is the same as a fetus or embryo, they are each their own individual human being, and a fetus is presumed to eventually gain consciousness.

I think Plato's Republic is a classic INFJ exercise of writing political fantasies. I'd attribute that partially to his Fe and partially to his Ni worldview.
