Many people seem to think Capitalism is a problem, with a pathological hatred for Capitalists.They are tantamount to mini-Hitlers and should be expunged from this world, or so some say. I bought a game called, "Capitalism". It is a business game where you build products, supply chains, expand...

A phrase that seems to be everywhere nowadays is "empowerment." Just because someone says it, it doesn't necessarily mean it is a good thing. For example, if you have two individuals with equal levels of power, empowering one and not the other means you have comparatively reduced someone else's...

This lexicon has prompted me to spur another thread, about empowerment!

I remember him saying something like that. It is easy to identify because they are using the common lexicon of that ideology. e.g. #MeToo

It's not the ONLY reason. :D

That is why I was arguing the toss about the "debunked" Jungarian perspective. There is always another point of view.

I have considered opening a forum section called, "Amazing people." I pondered about that the other day, thinking we could have Tolle, Peterson, Freud, Plato, Trump (hehe), and others in there. The threads could be talking about these amazing individuals. Just a thought.

It seems that Patreon is going a bit political, where they want to shut down accounts, according to some, due to political differences. There is also discussion that the credit card companies, such as Mastercard, VISA, PayPal etc. are also flexing their muscles. Without the financial transaction...

That reminds me of the saying, "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." The same can be said of Quantum Physics. Scale matters. [Edit: If the above is not clear, I am referring to fixed perspective.]

I do not see overlaps as a problem. Just look at the Hexaco personality inventory. There is a main category and subcategories, each on a continuum. Each subcategory could be argued to overlap on its parent category, since they are a part of it. Rest assured, I am sure Jung was a nutcase like...

I think I recall a conversation about this a long long time ago, and talk that infinity came under complex numbers or something like that. There is a whole sphere of maths that defies common logic, going under different rules. I am aware that logically -1 does not equal 0 or 1. So by...

Does not Feeling also overlap with Intuition, not just sensing? Ever heard of "gut feeling"? If both Sensing and Intuition overlaps with Feeling, why is that an issue? Let us say that you are more Thinking than Feeling. You are only 2/10 on Feeling. Then the Sensing/Intuition continuum is just...

Jordon Peterson is leaving Patreon on Jan 15th. Just found out.

My understanding is that maths has its own language. And in that language, 0.9 recurring means 0.99999 to infinity. It is not a semantic fudge, it is a clear way of describing that the 9's don't stop. So in the language of maths, "recurring" = "infinitely recurring". If it doesn't mean that...

Hehe Edit: Let me add something more substantial...Do you know why Jung is allegedly debunked? I think all academics can make errors of judgement, even the more experienced ones. That is why psychologists themselves study cognitive biases. Perhaps Jung will be like the butter versus margarine...

So are you saying academic professors in psychology are sometimes wrong?

Ah I remember now. So if academics have debunked Jung, why did this academic go work for a debunked philosophy? Was it his dirty secret?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-echochambers-28315137 "The popular Myers-Briggs personality test is a joke, write Vox's Joseph Stromberg. While it might be a fun way to pass the time, he says, it has about as much insight and validity as a Buzzfeed quiz." You get my point?

Great post Uncle. I've never heard Jung speak before. Never even knew they had him on video! Thought perhaps he was before our era.

For me, I am using it for everything! Topics include: - Health - Programming - Non-fiction books - Evolutionary psychology - Wisdom - Exercise and diet - Work specific stuff - Rational thinking - Social and relationships What are you using it for? Are you a student and need to pass exams? Or...
