Red Rum? Oh and If free helicopter rides are offered, don't go.

@Shin It is arrogant assuming we, or at least I, follow your posts. Other than that, don't have anything to go on. Can see that you post a lot, but don't really follow the gooey relationship stuff.

@StephenK Yeah I think that's ace. Only when things get so evil and corrupt that some take up arms to defend themselves for some reprieve. Wouldn't be surprised though if the politician/bandits bring in logging quotas to sell. Then destroy people's lives with the "police" or army.

Blue and Red. Attempted murder of a candidate, 40% blood loss from a stab wound, is going to preclude orange. Plus native psychopaths, with large land holdings and virtually no accountability, cattle ranch owners (yay Corned Beef all the good stuff), logging industry. As well as being the last westernised country to abolish slavery and import the greatest number, probably didn't help. In contrast I would say Portugal is stage blue, with some orange after they stopped breaking up markets, in the south. They also kind of had their own version of Vietnam, but in Africa. Funnily enough they had their own former Prime Minister in prison over corruption when I was backpacking there in the North & South, about 4 years a go. Not so funny for some families sharecropping in Portugal though. Lot of Germans in the south, probably because after upsetting a bit of Europe, countries like Greece, France, Italy, Spain etc were out of the picture for a place in the sun. I know that Brazilians try and get Portugese citizenship, which then means they could legally work in Ireland. Ireland because the tax rates and paperwork is relatively low globally, and they speak English, plus probably are the friendliest people in Europe. So perhaps either a Military Dictatorship. Or something like Venezuela, hows that working out? Anyway generally curious about other cultures.

@DrMobius Wouldn't it taint the overall experience though, if the idea being is to interfere profoundly with your psyche? i.e Blood diamonds. Electronics, produced sometimes by prison slave labour. But yeah I don't think there is any genuine fair trade dope. I guess there's testing kits. No idea how something like liberty caps would compare instead. Or what even to read on it, about sourcing and affects. Drown in possibilities

I think Shakespeare might have had an idea about magic mushrooms, he references them in "The Tempest". I find it interesting with historical references, to things. I did read that Mike Cernovich, tried 5 MeO -DMT, said the stuff apparently kills the Ego, at least temporarily. Out of curiosity, I'm interested, but not interested enough to trust a completely unknown stranger, how do they even source the stuff? There's a lot of literature out there to read or listen to, so purely on time wise, couldn't hurt to try and exhaust. More trodden paths first. Although "Do it!!" comes to mind, you have no idea where the stuff comes from. I'm also highly concerned with the "double-think" phenomena that comes to mind with psychedelics. From listening to the "Book of Not Knowing", Peter Ralston, seemed to be aware of such a phenomena, refers to it indirectly though, as "expedient".

Example. Do I have the right to go to the bathroom while at school, technically yes, by law and code of conduct. Although what if asking for permission the answer is no? 1) Go to the bathroom anyway. 2) Piss on the teachers desk. 3) Hold it in. 4) Piss yourself.

I go with rights being permissions. "You have the right to remain silent." Whether you do or not....and if I don't have that permission, what are you going to do, make me? Whether you have permission to live, permission to stay in your home (Property rights), is a mute point until it's not. I have a right to X because without it I'm probably dead, maybe you have the right, maybe you don't.

@kieranperez Can't you do the Forest Gump or visa card advert thing, and run across California? People for the most part speak English so, you don't have any language communication difficulties. On the bright side at least, you don't live in the UK. Dark, cold and wet most of the time in winter. Sure there's more messed up places in the world. California though is pretty awesome. If San Francisco is expensive, lots of near abandoned gold mining towns, throughout California and Colorado. Providing you can get a 3G or Cable connection, can order whatever you need online. Was about to say, although another member beat me to it, I can relate to yourself in someway with a dad working 80 hours a week. With modern technology housing should potential be less expensive than 50 years a go. Stripout any modern conviences, buy white goods on Ebay or from superstores. And it's not like American houses are often built with brick, but more flatpack like. 1) Life purpose. Rent a place with someone else to split costs. 2) Go a running. 3) Work for enough money for independence, to buy a place outright. Small piece of land with a nice view, put a trailer on it or something. I read that Richard Branson lived on houseboats for a while. 4) Utter Nihilism. Embrace the darkside. Do whatever you need to achieve your ends. Society does not matter. Property is expensive, in Vancouver as well, like $1 million avg home price. No wonder there's so many homeless along the west coast.

@Shin Uhmm. "Your arrogance blinds you Master Yoda."

A Cruise ship.

@TheBeachBionic Then date someone blind.

@DeannaDevil If you had a son with him, he's not your boyfriend. Guy's an adult, which means either he looks after his son, provides an education and does the housework. Or looks at providing for his woman and child. The focus is not on himself, any more.

Hamlet: What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me— nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so. Rosencrantz: My lord, there was no such stuff in my thoughts.

June 17, 1800 (on observing prisoners of war who recognized him) Many began to shout, with apparent enthusiasm: "Vive Bonaparte!" What a thing is imagination! Here are men who don't know me, who have never seen me, but who only knew of me, and they are moved by my presence, they would do anything for me! And this same incident arises in all centuries and in all countries! Such is fanaticism! Yes, imagination rules the world. The defect of our modern institutions is that they do not speak to the imagination. By that alone can man be governed; without it he is but a brute.

Words are magic. Without words, the clip has no context. Sounds similar to The "Loki's Wager" problem. There is no distinction between life and non-life; only in consciousness.

Well I guess if 80% of the Internet is Porn...... Not sure how someone measures that. What can you do with the other 20%?

Same with Chuck Norris jokes probably.

@Outer ------ The funny thing with Cast Away, the last package he delivers to a large farm, in the middle of nowhere, might have been a radio. Could have been batteries not included though. But does provide and maintain a purpose though. I wouldn't say talking to Wilson is an example of doublethink, instead it is an example of projection. Chuck needs the ability to project onto an object in order for creativity to take place, and get off the island. "How much wood? would a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood." For an example of Double Think Spinoza's "The Ethics" is a good example, the book is worth reading for some of it's faults, and good points. For a more contemporary example the phrase "Just do it." Chuck is also obsessed with time, perhaps a partial relation to his name Norland. Northern people generally being more time obsessed. Thought I throw in the Rabbit from Alice and Wonderland is also obsessed with time, before any major projection continues. -------- Listening to "The Book of Not Knowing" on Scribd going, gingerly.... Better than Spinoza's "The Ethics" so far, and Peter Ralston does not fall into doublethink, unlike Spinoza, although sections of the book are very similar. Also seems to strongly support the unconscious theory of the mind, which I agree with. Haven't seen a strong support of a subconscious theory of the mind, perhaps there is one out there somewhere, perhaps Carl Rogers, don't really know.

Liberation or License?

"They've identified it as something they can consume."

Collective unconscious. Orange. Individually conscious ego, but they aren't individuals, they're slaved to a greater collective. "The Borg are the ultimate user. They're unlike any threat your Federation has ever faced. They're not interested in political conquest, wealth, or power as you know it. They're simply interested in your ship, its technology."

Yes, I suppose, was wondering if low conscientiousness is innate to INTP or if it could be raised. @Ponder When you say "unlock" your shadow what do you mean by that?
