Damn birds and insects plotting against me.

VODKA!!!

Yeah ok, something like justifying a principle destroys the principle. I think something similar is referred to in Transcendental Idealism and in the Tao Te Ching. "The shortcomings of psychology like these........." Was thinking if you had alternative ideas, something dynamic.

What model of psychology would you propose?

@moon777light If there's a science department(male dominant....), you could go with a small group of girlfriends say 2, maybe 3, knock on some dormitory doors to arrange a picnic or if the weather is rubbish some other social activity. Otherwise probably have to look else where, Universities are usually massively female dominated.

@moon777light Literally knock on someone's door that you like and seduce him. Europe is quite mixed in people's temperment. Germans, Czech, Dutch & French are more open about sex. English are more reserved, although probably varies by region.

Yeah I reached a similar conclusion a while a go, I guess neuroticism corresponds to turbulent or assertive, but also to P/J. Would be interesting to know more about conscientiousness. I know the INTP has Introverted thinking at the top of it's function stack. Where as ENTJ has Extorverted Thinking. Perhaps INTP is low conscientiousness and ENTJ is high conscientiousness?

@i am I AM Bit different for me, rooms in buildings are almost always small or proportional to general reality, but connected to adjacents rooms, often filled with things, often old neglected things white consumer goods, old toys etc. Unless in something like an attic, central hall or basement, then maze like. Outside seems to go on for miles. Usually any mystical awe I feel in dreams is when I'm looking at a general environment from a birdseye pov and thinking "woah the graphics are pretty good!". Intially thought "Iceman" though I'm guessing the poster is female, from language and boyfriend. Emotion, a source of power, not something that is good to do without. Can a person really talk about what's on their mind in a public forum though?

@Looking for meaning You feel horror, that's something... Have had a few dreams in the past of being in buildings, where things just didn't seem right. Dark rooms that seem to defy the laws of physics, where light does not enter. Bit like the movie Silent Hill.

Sounds a bit like Platonism?

Scientology, looks a bit like gnosticism (knowing). Contrasted to say?, "The Book of Not Knowing" - Peter Ralston.

I believe the universe is indeterministic(not sure if that would relate to impermanence?). Order brought about by chance (quantum events?). Freewill exists as a potentiality, limited by the interplay of the conscious and unconscious mind (Alien hand/Dr Strangelove Syndrome). Perhaps more along the lines of degrees of freedom. Achieving "Absolute Freedom" I think would depend loosely on how the Ego is structured Purpose I think would be along the lines of teleology(becoming). To have purpose is to have the distinction between self and other. Maybe morality or Ethics, though not sure how to answer them in the positive sense. Having said that Actualism, perhaps along the line of Spinoza might be it, the predestination of reality would allow the fortelling of the future, Final Destination style. I think everyone at one time has odd occurences that they can't quite explain.

“You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.” ― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

What is? Technique such as? -------------

"Triumph of the Will!" - Apparently a popular movie in 1935. I actually believe that Free-will may exist as a potentiality. Fighting for a cause, sounds a bit collectivist in nature. Whether there is a way to generate/allow to happen or cultivate a causa sui (cause of itself). I wonder how to cultivate will? Sit in a cave meditating? or would that cultivate the freedom part, maybe both.

"What Tyler says about the crap and the slaves of history, that's how I felt. I wanted to destroy something beautiful I'd never have. Burn the Amazon rain forests. Pump chlorofluorocarbons straight up to gobble the ozone. Open the dump valves on supertankers and uncap offshore oil wells. I wanted to kill all the fish I couldn't afford to eat, and smother the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted the whole world to hit bottom. Pounding that kid, I really wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every endangered panda that wouldn't screw to save its species and every whale or dolphin that gave up and ran itself aground." Don't think of this as extinction. Think of this as downsizing. - Fight Club, The narrator. "It’s Project Mayhem that’s going to save the world. A cultural ice age. A prematurely induced dark age. Project Mayhem will force humanity to go dormant or into remission long enough for the Earth to recover. . . . This was the goal . . . the complete and right-away destruction of the world."

The cow: Whether ice cream, prime rib, cheesesteak sandwiches etc how could you hate this animal.

@Krishna Siva Might find "Man's Search for meaning" helpful.

@Revolutionary Think You will suffer me!!!

@GomeGabrielDavid Perhaps a bit like declaring oneself to be an Atheist, people, at least most people aren't (A)santa or A(Unicorn). Conditionality; I guess a bit like Star Wars, "do or do not, there is no try." Seeing through walls though, sounds a bit like superman.

"The farther one travels The less one knows..." The Inner Light - The Beatles. Incompatibilism; although I'm not sure that would be the correct term, probably The Way or Daoism. An idea I've been playing around with.

I heard J.Peterson say that pyschedelics permanently increase a person's openess to experience, was fairly adament. Have also heard him say that openess to experience is correlated with IQ. My concern is that taking psychedlics of which I have virtually no knowledge of, may lead to a decrease in conscientiousness. Still got kind of an Aristotlian mean going on in my mind. You are also not, your brain, though I wouldn't say freewill exists presently either, neither does determinism.

@Uchira Wouldn't feeling lost, imply you have a destination to go to?

Uhmm Jumanji?

How can an abstract game, be a life purpose? My life purpose is to be the best Tic-Tac-Toe, player Ever!!!
