What are /r/entp's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Honestly, for me, I think it's coming across more traditionally-minded people who think I'm not behaving in a sufficiently "feminine" way. I often get told that I'm "unladylike" because I have a direct way of speaking and don't always go out of my way to soothe people's feelings. (Mind you, I'm usually polite and courteous.) Interestingly, it is mostly older women who give me this feedback.

That being said, I think I'm one of the ENTP women who is - maybe a little more in touch with her feelings than other ENTP women? (I say this because the few ENTP women I know all seem to really HATE ~FEELINGS~; I'm mostly just sort of confused by mine.) Something that really helped me a while back with understanding emotions was Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. One of the basic ideas in the book is that intuitions and emotions are as much insights (and there valid) as (analytical) thoughts and opinions, so the better way to deal with your emotions is not to treat them as the enemy but clues to something that your conscious and "rational" brain may be missed.

Ok, since everyone else has addressed the elephant in the room - Was this supposed to be a diary entry? I think you meant to post here.

Really though, are we supposed to give you a nice jerk or something because you're playing the revenge game like a teenage drama queen?

It's because ENTPs is a very detached type, so when we finally take a form, it is usually exaggerated, and meant as a joke. But the person behind the joke, is quite chill, and open minded.But people that don't think between the lines, only see what's on the surface, and not what's beneath it. Typical sensor/defensive people behavior.

Duolingo x 1000. You can do it 20 minutes a day while pooping.

Bonus: no one's around to hear your awful pronunciation on the vocal lessons.

Also, it's gamified in a good way.

The whole thing, all around, is phenomenal. I've used it to get back to fluency in German and work toward proficiency in Spanish.

The introduction to A History of Western Philosophy.

Russell talks about the dangers of both a convergent and divergent society. A strongly religious society is a convergent society, but the sense of community becomes so strong that novel ideas are out of the community and thus rejected. A divergent society would have a ton of free thought, but so divergent that no one would come together to develop ideas together.

The ideal society is somewhere in between, where there is enough social convergence, which can be brought about by religion (Ancient Greece, for example), that ideas come together. At the same time, not so close that new ideas are rejected.

Anyway, there are a few examples in there of overly convergent societies, you could look at those.

When I was in a similar situation, there were three 'levels' involved in getting back on track.

Level 1 - the basics: Eat right, sleep enough, be active, see friends and family, take vitamins, get sunlight, meditate to calm your mind. These are all the things where if you're not doing them, they can decrease your mood.

Level 2 - enjoyment: Indulge your senses (e.g., good food, massage, fun experiences), connect with nature, read a good book/watch a show you like, help others, try new things, pray (if you're religiously inclined), use affirmations (if you're spiritually inclined), jolt your system/do things that scare you. These are the things that will break you out of your funk, for small periods at a time, and will get you feeling like you won't always feel like you do now.

Level 3 - meaning: Find your calling in life. Not easy! But this, especially for an ENTP, is what will pull you out of tough (mental) situations. Your calling could be your career, your family, God, or any number of things, but it's basically the thing you live for. Read Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning or Jeff Goins' The Art of Work for more info.

Good luck! I'm going through a similar thing again now, and knowing all this from last time is making it a LOT easier and quicker to get through.

it's a good start; 12 minutes is much, much better than 0 minutes, so good job :)

as a lazy-and-depressed INFJ, i run because i know i have to, because i know i'll be totally hosed if i don't. exercise is more effective in alleviating depression than drugs are. but i find it boring and tedious, so i combine it with another task: listening to podcasts (that deal with cognitive biases, usually). so, i get to learn and pound out some endorphins at the same time. maybe something you can try if you haven't already. a good book to read by an ENTP that's interesting and has some useful protips: How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big

A healthy diet and exercise is a must. It took me way too many years to realize this. I mean, I heard it so many times, but I always shrugged it off. Even just simply speed-walking for an hour in the morning will keep me in an elated state for the rest of the day.

When you have the time, I'd also recommend you read:

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and

How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie

They pretty much spell out the traits/habits of successful people. You'll be surprised just how many of those traits ENTPs already have. Our biggest flaw, however, is our procrastination and indecision. Reading those books helped me put some things in perspective and helped me decide what I wanted to do with my life.

Define your purpose first and it will be easy to do the other things you've listed.

I think sites like https://www.codingame.com https://leetcode.com might help you.

codingame is a gamified version of coding to solve problems. It's fun and will help you understand the basics of programming and problem solving.

Leetcode is more about optimization and interview questions.

if you don't have personal projects you want to work on then these sites can help and you can also chat with other people who can teach you a lot.

If you're coding to automate tasks rather than problem solving then I suggest learning some scripting language to do stuff like downloading a webpage and getting all images from it, moving certain files and deleting the rest, creating Excel sheets from some data.

>"Let's sort stuff out, I wanna be friends with you, Kim Jong-un!"

Nah, that's not it. They've basically entered a similar phase of Korean-Korean relations than the two German states did in the 1970s.

> I am not sure how USA has been part of this but please enlighten me.

SK's new president has publicly credited Trump for the recent developments: 1, 2.

You brought your Fi in here as did OP. Let's put that aside. What do you think the actual way forward is?

I picked up a copy of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius on Amazon for a dollar.

It's got a bunch of wise practical advice on living a virtuous life. I read it on the toilet instead of looking at my phone.

I enjoyed reading (light) psychology & philosophy and self-help books.

Turns out I only liked feeling inspired. It was just empty otherwise. Just something to do. I didn't actually care about putting in the work.

Whenever I tried to really enforce those books, I got so paranoid and anxious, like they knew everything and I knew fuck-all. Looking back at my whole life, I was doing well in life without such books.

As for reading now, the last book I read was Viktor Frank's Man's Search for Meaning. There's 2 parts - him describing life in concentration camps and the other is the philosophical side. I loved the first bit, so I might take a dive in fiction next.

I guess the benefit of that would be I gain new ideas for stories, like I do when I watch films.

I've probably typed thousands wrong - but also probably none. I think what led me astray was thinking that people had definite types and trying to apply logic to determining them. It is not a scientific process, there is no right or wrong answer. I mean, look at the infamous house type debate - wtf type is he really? Who knows, you could go so far as to make a case that he's an ISTP or an ENTJ, all we really know is that he's a psychopathic thinker with his sarcasm setting on MAX, so no matter what you say, you're neither wrong or right (though you would be out of your mind to consider him a feeler :P), there are real people like this too.

> Daniel Kahneman in his book Thinking, Fast and Slow suggests using base-rate information wherever possible.

This is what started the whole SJ typing movement on r/mbti. So be careful with that, in the end we came to the understanding that the statistics are not reliable enough to base those decisions on.

>I have amazing visions in my head constantly but can't send the signals to my arm to draw them. Just life.

If you ever want to work on that, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is a pretty incredible book. I've always been interested in drawing, so YMMV, but it teaches you how to "see" lines and space like an artist needs to in order to reproduce what is in front of their eyes and eventually what's in their head. It's fairly well reviewed on Amazon, and I personally enjoyed it quite a bit.

(The whole literal left brain/right brain thing may be mostly nonsense but the methods still work to improve your drawing skill.)

Just in case. :)

Chronic illness is possibly the best thing that's happened to me, as far as my Si goes. I have very limited energy, so structure is a must if I want to get anything done. My routines are essential to staying happy and productive.

Tools I use:

• Habitica (https://habitica.com/) is a gamified productivity app that offers in-game and IRL incentives for accomplishing your real-life tasks. It's shiny and fun, and you can have pets and costumes.

• An hourly planner helps me make a rough outline of every day. If I don't assign times to the things I need to get done, I tend to a) get overwhelmed or b) procrastinate.

Every morning—even if I'm in pain or I don't have anywhere to go—I get up, get dressed, and make my bed. Sometimes it's difficult... but if I can do my basic morning routine, it gives me momentum to get other things done, too.

I do deep breathing for ten minutes, three times a day (ideally), to engage my parasympathetic nervous system. It's mainly to manage my chronic pain, but it also helps with emotional and mental balance.

Some days, I fail at this and spend the day in my pajamas feeling sick and sorry for myself. But those days are becoming less and less frequent as I become more and more consistent with my routines. :)

Thanks for asking about this, OP! It's a conversation worth having.

• 1984 by Orwell. Political classic in light of recent American events feels quite appropriate.

• The Gene by Sidartha Makurjee (garden peas WWII era eugenics, mutant fruitflies, Gender biology, Discovery of DNA)

• Chaos by James Gleik (history of physics/mathematics of chaotic systems - totally mindblowing)

• The Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach, or Packing for Mars (same author) are both highly... Engrossing reads. I'm still looking forward to reading her other books.

• I'd try find something about AI, because its becoming a big deal. Rise of the robots is an accessible book on the topic, while Super intelligence by nick bostrom is a bit more rigorous.

• Carl Sagan's Cosmos and Death by Black Hole by Niel Degrasse Tyson are pretty fun reads.

• Chris Hadfield's Guide to life as an astronaut is inspiring as fuck and full of wisdom.

• The particle at the end of the universe by Sean Carrol and The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene basically brings you up to speed on some of the modern theories of physics.

• How google works contains a lot of wisdom about workplaces, business success and such.

• Psychology of Influence and Persuasion is packed full of things I'd say everyone should know but dont, theres a lot of surprising tidbits. Bit dry, but I'd add Thinking Fast and Slow by Kahneman, which contains nobel prize winning ideas on psychology (prize was for economics though :p)

• The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein. Economic history - sheds light on how badly Western superpowers subjugate other counties. Bit biased to the left I think and what she says about Friedman seems dubious to me, worth reading regardless.

I'd look into introductory textbooks to undergrad courses, loads of critical information fundamental to our comprehension of reality hidden away inside them. They're often more accessible than you'd think.

Mary Roach's Gulp and Packing for Mars. I think it's clear she is an ENTP.

Still making my way through The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein, It has been difficult since I have no background in economics and such, I pretty much looked up every single person/business/country mentioned and turned it into a collage. It's humbling to realize I still don't know jack shit about the world.

Also reading Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku, but this book isn't as good as the other two I read from him. It's still pretty neat.

I tend to read a little fiction to put me to sleep, just Hitchhiker's Guide and Memoirs of a Geisha... er, wait that's not fiction - but you know what I mean.

It really depends on what you're looking for.

If you're like me and you're looking to sell real estate, I would say the best place for you to start is by looking at licensing options in your own state. Every state is different and what you can do in the field can vary depending by the state. In the meantime, the absolute best resource you have is established realtors. Your state and local agencies will always publish their top realtors along with contact information. Call them and ask any questions you have. So only ask for five minutes of their time to ask even one question and a lot of them will give you more than that. Ask them where they got their license, what you should be doing right now, what they love about their job, what they hate about it, etc. One thing I've learned so far, especially being this young in the business (<25), it's that people are quick to help out.

As for actual things to read and look at;

The Sell by Fredrik Eklund is a great look at the story of the top selling realtor in the New York, it's just a great read for some inspiration and The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon. This one seems a little cheesy when you read it, but he says some good shit and honestly this book really has changed my thinking and gotten me fired up about getting things done.

There's a website you can check who your doctor is getting lunches from.

They're required to report this stuff, I think the website is gov

Edit: found it. Not a gov website, but Obama care is the reason for the transparency. ".the federal government under the Physician Payment Sunshine Act, as part of the Affordable Healthcare Act, began to release details of payments from pharmaceutical and medical device makers to doctors and teaching hospitals for promotional speaking, consulting, meals, travel, research, and other activities."

It's available as an iOS/Android app, but that's not free.

Cookie Clicker is also addictive, you just need to click and then optimise your cookie output.

I started learning HTML and CSS. I've been always more of an "human sciences" person. But suddenly I felt a great interest in learning coding. So I started taking courses at http://www.codecademy.com/. Been a nice experience haha!

I generally find my accomplishments very mediocre. I don't celebrate that. At the same time, I find a lot of mediocre accomplishments being celebrated as milestones. People don't think ahead too much. My mindwave is more in line with the Taoist (interesting short story here that portrays exactly how I think). I can see both positive and negative sides to your accomplishments. The positive ones are no brainer, but most people don't consider the negatives, and I'm a pessismist by default, whom are often more right about things; optimists crash and burn

• You've got 11 A* in your exams? Great, you've just turned life into hard-mode, or shit-mode, depending on how you handle pressure (most suck) for future college/university entries (and by extension, jobs) depending on their requirements
• You got promoted? Great! I know you didn't earn it/now you have to work even harder/ugh I have to listen to you now?!
• You got married? You spent how much? That's a deposit for a house you know. / Good luck not pissing her off in the next 20 years and lose most of your property.
• You're pregnant/you're going to become a father? Your life just got that much more difficult, or maybe none-existant as you have to spend even more, become restricted, or deal with the pressures of additional responsibility

Something along the lines of that. In truth I'm very broody and would love a daughter, but that's still a long way off... and I do dread everything that is attached to it, but I'm looking forward to such a challenge.

best app i found for this stuff is Todoist

if you're into Getting Things Done they've got an example workflow of how to set it up

my policy is: never waste a second of your life carrying around easily-externalizable daily detritus in your brain when you can be using it to generate cool ideas instead

Just buy one of these They dont include depression in the name.

I drink 2 sugar free redbulls a day, every day. Usually one Acai flavored and 1 Lime flavored. Each have 114mg of Caffeine that 228mg of Caffeine a day plus usually a diet soda at the end of the day for another 80mg so thats about 300-350mg a day. (About 4-5 cups of coffee a day)

&#x200B;

It definitely helps me be up and active when i first get to work and it used to be absolutely essential to pull me through the post lunch food coma (Or that 2pm feeling) but ever since i started doing Keto (down 30lbs since April) i find i dont need them for energy, but i do need them to fight off the caffeine withdrawal headaches which can be brutal.

&#x200B;

Also they taste fcking delicious, I order them by the case from Amazon and the whole office knows that Sugar free Redbulls mean that I am near by. For 15 calories a can i literally can't think of a better thing to keep me going through the day.

I third this. Try reading Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations." If that's a bit too dense, although it's not necessarily stoicism, try "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo. I read that book in one sitting, and it significantly improved my life and to look over my pessimistic ways.

I would have said no a couple months ago, but I read Marie Kondo's "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" and ever since then it really did change my life. I've been throwing out / giving away things that I simply don't need anymore very actively and consciously. I plan to only buy what I need once I get my own place (that dorm life lmao). So yes, yes I would.

I wanted to learn programming, bought some books, started to delve into them and... stopped reading/working with them after a while. I occasionally came back to them but it was nothing I pursued with great vigor or motivation.

Until I had a few ideas at night that I wanted to try out. I wouldn't say I have mastered programming yet and I doubt I ever will, but it is has become some sort of hobby I occasionally go back to if I can't sleep and have some vague idea of a program or routine in my head.

I ordered Dennis Ritchie's The C Programming Language and dived into it. Did some of the tasks (I still use an enhanced version of the Fahrenheit/Celsius converter occasionally) but more so I was interested in coming up with solutions to my own problems.

I tried to create a text editor and ended up with a line-based one (similar to ed). Sure, this piece of software was pretty much useless but I solved the problem I set out to solve.

I also began working on some calendar app (in Java this time) almost a year ago but it isn't going anywhere soon.

In comparison to people who studied computer science, my knowledge is fairly small, but I know my way around and can use a search engine.

I think what I'm trying to say is that the best way to get into programming is to have a bunch of problems you want to solve. This requires a certain knowledge of basic stuff but from there, I think the internet offers a plethora of information, tutorials, forum posts etc. from which you can go.

I'm not sure what online sources you have looked into so far, but you might want to check out stuff like codeacademy.com or some of the courses on Coursera.

Besides programming/computer science, what are other fields you could see yourself getting into? Could you apply for an internship in the branch that could give you more answers?

Nah, I use note cards for all my random thoughts. They're easier to tape to the walls to remind me of things, like events or things I need to buy or even neat quotes I wanna remember.

The one on my fridge right now:

"Tigers are more beautiful than sheep, but we prefer them behind bars. The typical romantic removes the bars and enjoys the magnificent leaps with which the tiger annihilates the sheep. He exhorts men to imagine themselves tigers, and when he succeeds the results are not wholly pleasant." Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy.

Stoic philosophy is definitely a useful tool in any individuals mindset. To add on to this, if anybody is interested in learning more about stoicism, the book Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is a fantastic place to start.

> I recommend to entp's is freakonomics where they use data analysis to explain or poke holes in human behaviour

Yeah, first one was not bad. Sequels were just milking for money though.

Since you already think like a libertarian, I recommend works by Milton Friedman and David Friedman (his son).

"Free to Choose" is a very nice piece. So is "Capitalism and Freedom". You only need one of those really.

Once that is done, you might be ready for the "Machinery of Freedom" by the son.

If convinced and once you are ready to start your own country, move on to the grandson and his sea-steading ideas.

I also recommend Nassim Taleb. He is kind of difficult to read, but he has somewhat original thoughts about risk, statistics, quality of human knowledge ... Either Fooled By Randomness or Black Swan should work for that (well, maybe both but he is repetitive). I also heard good things about his newer book called Antifragile but have not read it yet.

Surely there are ways to find them free on the internet ;)

An intj calls out to you from the afterlife:

“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Especially when that foe is an ENTP. Sometimes scorched earth is the best earth. Enjoy.

• Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain
• Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain
• North by Gunnar Karl Gislason (it's a Finnish cook book)
• The Flavor Bible
• The Meat Hook Meat Book
• A collection of poems I printed out by Rumi and Hafez

I'm mainly reading all these books because food/cooking/drink/etc. is the one interest I actually don't want to let go of. I know we're prone to "hobby-hopping" and "interest-cycling" but I really want to hold onto my new obsessions (cooking/food/drink/restaurants/food-retail, etc.) for once. So I'm surrounding myself by them as much as possible.

As far as cornerstone books for ENTP's to read, I think we should check out:

• Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson
• Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
• The Art of War by Sun Tzu
• The War of Art by Steven Pressfield (this helped me confront the interest-cycling issue we're prone to)
• anything by Anthony Bourdain because his writing style is engrossing

I used to be an anarcho-capitalist. I read "Human Action", "Man, Economy, and State", "Power and Market", "The Road to Serfdom", "Economics in One Lesson", "The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality", "The Fatal Conceit", "The Revolution: A Manifesto", "Austrian Theory of the Trade Cycle", "The Virtue of Selfishness", etc, etc.

Then I decided to actually study socialism to see if what they were saying about it was actually true, or just a straw man. So I read "Capital", "The Communist Manifesto", "Statism and Anarchism", "Marxism, Freedom, and the State", "On Anarchism", "Marx's Concept of Man", "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism", "Theories of Surplus Value", "Why Marx Was Right", "First as Tragedy then as Farce", "Society of the Spectacle", "Anarchism and Other Essays", "One-Dimensional Man", "Understanding Power", "Profit Over People", "Manufacturing Consent", etc, etc.

Plus I remembered that I studied statistics in college and know the difference between ecological correlation and the ecological fallacy.

Now I am a anarcho-socialist.

Yep, read The Lean Startup!

Rewriting your comment with Lean terminology:

With any business idea you need a testable hypothesis that can be tested in a short amount of time. Depending on the outcome of your testing results, you can decide to persevere or pivot. Just ensure that you aren't judging the success of your idea or business on vanity metrics.

Why do you think Nardi has the patent on an EEG cap?

For being a neuroscientist there’s a lot of basic things you seem to not be aware of.

Not being aware of and even further rejecting the idea that neurotransmitters act as hormones made me highly skeptical but now I’m even more skeptical. I question if you’ve taken one neuroscience class based on the things you say.

For everyone else

I most certainly agree. I was referring to "an insecure person that inflates their self-image to feel better about their self" <- he doesn't actually inflate his self-image to feel better about himself. He inflates it because he mistakenly takes his excellence in whatever single subject to mean he's better than other people. It's a narcissistic problem, not one of trying to make himself feel better.

Themselves is the only correct usage there, since themself has yet to take off. You could make an argument for themself however. But their self is not technically correct.

> I admit it, I don't understand this. What say you?

What they're saying is that they enjoy animals more than people because they don't have to deal with the negative consequences of human emotions.

A dog can't cheat on you, break your heart, say mean and spiteful things, chew you out, be disappointed in you, be angry at your stupidity, etc., etc., etc.,

But they can do this. which can make you feel fan-fucking-tasic and 'special'.

So when people say shit like that, it's really more a reflection on their own emotional insecurities and inability to cope. Beware people with personal zoos.

1) Always read the label Whats this mean? http://genius.com/Gza-labels-lyrics/ Basically, know what you want is really what you want; look at both the outcome you receive and the repercussions of the outcome...

2) Be patient Don't be impulsive and blind. If the doors you want to open don't, then find a new door; A good running back is not merely determined, but flexible as well. They want to get downfield, but they adapt their plans on the fly. (always finding new holes (aka doors) and identifying more).

Sorry :P english is not my first language. And then there were none is a murder book and the "trick" (idk if it's the right word) is the secret method of murder.

I'm the same way with caffeine and nicotine. And yeah the thoughts are killer, like a constant static when I try to go to sleep.

Do you use f.lux on your computers? If not you should, it helps to bring down the brightness and adjust the warmth of the color from your monitor at night. This will help you circadian rhythm significantly as it should help regulate light frequency stimulus. You could also just get some blue blocker glasses to help as well and just wear them at night if you are in front of a monitor or device which you can't put f.lux on.

Shit it is 3:30 am and I am still awake.

I have a huge library...er problem like this too!

Have you seen Amazon's Kindle Unlimited? I almost fainted when I saw it... you pay $10 a month and you can read as many books as you like on the kindle. https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1002872331

Wellll, if you want to take a detour, Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend are well worth the time. We stayed at this airbnb, it was so cute if you're into the outdoor shower thing. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4705474

I'm sure you guys won't kill each other. Wishing you the best!

To starting a career in it? I would strongly recommend a degree, though it's not entirely necessary, it does make finding work and actually doing the work MUCH easier. And I don't mean some bullshit from university of phoenix online... a legit degree from a brick and mortar.

One reasonably common avenue is to study design and learn front end coding, then learn about how to work with databases and more traditional programming.

If you have a degree in comp-sci getting a job is ridiculously easy. Takes about a week or less.

Edit: also for dabbling more try: http://www.codecademy.com/ if you haven't yet. You can also get a feel for what the classes are like http://webcast.berkeley.edu/series.html#c,d,Computer_Science

These really helped me through my degree actually :) Not all professors were created equal

I use a combination of the Eisenhower matrix and ASANA for scheduling and organising.

It’s a constant battle, but I put aside 15 minutes at the start or finish of a day into identification, prioritisation and scheduling of tasks it helps a lot.

It is likely that you have inherit bipolar from your father. Here is the book btw, the author is a specialist within mental disorder.

https://libgen.pw/item/detail/id/5a1f05253a044650f50c469a

By understanding bipolar you will have much better control over the ups and downs.

If you need someone to talk about it, just send pm aite? Just want to help.

I intentionally searched for the poorly reviewed professors on Rate My Professors! and skipped all my classes. The students attending the class would be confused by the professor's lectures while I'd study PowerPoint slides and read books on my own.

We still need a good project management online tool for individuals and collaborative groups. I posted redbooth to Mindbridge but there are others http://www.capterra.com/project-management-software/

Maybe we should start another post on project managements tools and what would work best for us?

One of the best source that I have come across to understand Introverted Thinking is PersonlaityHacker. I would recommend that you listen to the podcasts in order instead of skipping through, to understand clearly. Here's the link below for you.

Also your body doesn't tell you when you're developing all sorts of long term problems. Science is pretty decent at it most of the time though. Your body evolved to get you through having babies and likely living long enough that they're self sufficient. Everything else is just cruft. A 35 year old with achy joints will likely have fewer kids. A 55 year old with achy joints is likely already dead anyways but if not meh, evolution doesn't give a shit.

Places most people go to meet others:

There is a huge dev shortage. And plenty of programs and internships to get started.

Plus I assume money for financial independence is one big motivating factor for you? Well all salary ranges for Solidity dev are in the $100k~140k and you only need to show your skills. You can even work fully anonymously.

It's likely the highest paid skill with regards credential/time investment of the decade. And I say that as someone who also started data science/artificial intelligence 5 years ago (and so didn't really have tonget a degree).

Not exactly mind map software, but it does not bound you to rectangles. I like how creative you can get with it.

Have not used it myself, but watched enough presentations made in it to like it.

First rule of How To Win Friends and Influence People is do not criticize, condemn or complain.

Last dude you described could have just been having a shitty day. Also, don't touch other peoples' stuff.

Dune, How to Win Friends and Influence People, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Book of the New Sun, The Sun Also Rises, The Shining, American Gods, On Writing, The Anatomy of Peace, How Washington Works, One Second After, Fahrenheit 451, Gone Girl, The Road, and Sharp Objects.

So, a little more than ten, I guess.

Have a read of Dan Ariely's book Predictably Irrational - we are horribly irrational beings on the whole and we are easily and often manipulated. We are very capable of rational thought and action.

Kahnman's book is very good. Though extremely dry at times. Ariely's book is a little more accessible (and well written) but less in depth.

Great article. Thanks for sharing. The comments are reminiscent of several ESTJ vs. ENTP debates I have had. The former approaching the question of what is "knowable" from the standpoint of, "the authorities should be trusted, they're rarely wrong, and what has not been confirmed by scientific authority should be tossed into the rubbish bin." The latter (me), approaching from the standpoint of "science is constantly changing, if there's no evidence for something, it's unknown, the authorities have made many mistakes in the past and should not be given all of our trust." This kind of article really brings the question of psychological orientation to the forefront.

To what degree should "expert opinion" be trusted? Where and when? Again I cite Kahneman's book Thinking, Fast and Slow where he basically sums it up as follows: If an expert works in a field characterized by a high degree of stability (low variability), then their opinion should be trusted. Think surgeons, firefighters, plumbers, etc. At the other end of the spectrum are pundits, stock-pickers, even radiologists and counseling psychologists. Those guys operate in fields that have so much variation and where feedback is either nonexistent or extremely infrequent that predictions are virtually worthless. This is why, except for tax solutions, the entire investment management industry is one giant charade. It really does just boil down to chance.

All that said, I think it's important to make the effort to be well-informed of what the "experts" think.

Yes, but they typically don't overlap. So, at any given point, I may be reading some fantasy, some literary fiction, and some nonfiction. At the moment, I am reading:

• Bonehunters by Steven Erickson
• Heroes Die by Matthew Woodring Stover (been working through the audiobook on road trips, but I have already read it)
• JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford
• Light Science and Magic by Several Authors

Yeah, I did and then I started making a lot of money and realising that I could save money.

Buy things with cash, it allows you to budget much better. Debit cards capitalise on people with poor impulse control, in the states all you have to do is swipe and you've spent money. In the UK we now have contactless cards where you tap your wallet on the machine to spend your money.

Read 'The Millionaire Next Door' and subscribe to r/personalfinance and /r/financialindependence. There are a multitude of fantastic blogs out there too.

1) What an impressively self-aware young person. You might be interested in reading Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. Or listen to the audiobook. That's how I "read."

2) It gets better hormonally, but most people don't really get better. I think it is unwise waiting around for corresponding maturity.

3) No one is a snowflake. Get out more, find teens with an angst/interests corresponding your own...unless you are in a small town, then you may be fucked. My best friend in high school used to diagnose the people we knew with mental illnesses and whatnot together for fun. We at one point decided that I was a sociopath. We are still best friends...Or you could have fun trolling people. Play the devil's advocate, you will amuse yourself even if no one else gets it.

4) It was nice to read your post, despite its length. you good writer. maybe use more similes and metaphors next time.

5) I feel like a list of four isn't enough to justify using 1,2,3,4, instead of A,B,C,D.

> However, if I do pursue comp sci and become a failure I will never overcome the feeling of inadequacy;

Wait...what? How would you be a failure as a comp sci grad? Companies need programmers, data scientists, etc. Will you have some stumbles on your journey? Sure. But total and life-stopping failure? Fuck no. You're an ENTP. We bounce back harder, faster, leaner, smarter.

Ask yourself this: If you can't do both, then what can you teach yourself? If you can teach yourself programming, do engineering as a major. If you can teach yourself engineering (and yes, there are self taught engineers. see: history), major in comp sci.

Colleges and society want you to believe that your MAJOR is the ultimate signifier of who you are as a person and something that will chart your future for the rest of your life. That's bullshit. I'm 29, and here's what I wish I had known at your age: MINDSET & SKILL SETS, not majors, are your tools for success.

Grab a copy of Mindset by Carol Dweck, read it thoroughly, then rethink your views on success, failure, etc. Hope this helps.

When I was married, everyone thought we were a 'power couple' -- but only a handful knew how miserable I was. One benefit to being an ENTP is that we tend to have a built in lie detector -- so we can witness genuine joy or sub-par acting.

I keep lists in a plain-text editor. One trick I learned from The Four Hour Work Week is to break everything down to 5 - 10 minute tasks. This works well for me since I respond well to marking things off a list. But you'll have to sort out which system for tracking works best for you.

If your frustration is mood related, you should check out Cognitive Behavioral Therapy -- and specifically The Feeling Good Handbook, by David D Burns. Since you're an ENTP, you might suffice with this very brief summary - http://web.mit.edu/kdrinkwa/Public/splash/cognitive_distortions.pdf

As a total long shot, I get extremely frustrated and angry if I have red food dye. Might be something to consider.

I was once upon a time. My advice, don't take shortcuts just because you can. They make things easier in the short term, but overall can lead to your downfall.

Another thing is don't be afraid to delegate. If you think your staff aren't up to the task then get them the right training or get new staff - don't just take on more responsibility.

Both pieces of advice are in the same vain of think like its a marathon, not a sprint. It goes against our nature, sure, but if you plan on having this company long term then you must act accordingly.

Two good reads for anybody thinking about going down this road are The Lean Startup by Eric Ries and The Four Hour Workweek by Timothy Feriss.

Normal. Read "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman" for a stereotypical ENTP ... yeah, sure, he was a world-famous physicist, but he was also a safecracker, a bongo player, an artist, etc.

As Ne's we see too many possibilities, we want to pursue them all.

Seconded. Recently moved to a new city by myself as a recent grad, focus on doing the things you like (for yourself) and don't think of this from the MBTI perspective... while I have found people and personalities to be predictable, humans are wildly irrational and whether or not someone will be attracted to you is hugely dependent on factors beyond your control.

I recommend reading Models by Mark Manson.

I really like this book: http://www.amazon.com/Unbearable-Lightness-Being-Milan-Kundera/dp/0060932139

I haven't been commuting so I haven't been reading shit for the last month or so. I think I was trying to get through the dostoyevsky collection again. God that fucker just drones on and on and on like a 14 year old who just discovered thought. Do not recommend any of his rambles.

You know how I get half my book recs? I go on okcupid and when someone seems cool I look at her favorites. Do recommend.

Found this new app, any of you guys interested in it? An anonymous text messaging app. You post your text message out there and anyone can respond to you, only using their own writing skills.

I've been using it and seems cool so far and was wondering if this is something ENTPs would be interested in? Might be cool to meet some of you guys through there.

Assuming those numbers from the second link are right then there really isn't too much to worry about from the DoD. Even if all their energy consumed was in oil it's about 0.8% of the global consumption, and it seems like they're making the correct moves to kerb their consumption.

China is making good progress in terms of moving away from coal and oil base power. Which is impressive considering they're practically still developing in a lot of areas just outside cities. Frankly Australia's policy of mining all the coal and then saying &quot;they're not our greenhouse emissions&quot; is going to run out really soon

They're also taking the correct steps as far as nuclear power goes

Free Code Camp - if you can write html, you can blow through this.

Otherwise, learn how to Google and sift through results to figure out a solution. Knowing how to code certainly helps but before that, you have to be able to zero in on the problem you want to solve. This is what I do when I’m trying to figure out how to accomplish something on Linux.

If you want to get into robotics, get yourself a raspberry pi or a kit that uses one. Look at either checking out from a library or buying a copy of Maker that focuses on diy robotics. I have a book published by them that uses Minecraft to teach basic Python. Also keep an eye out on humble bundle for programming book bundles from O’Reilly.

Basically, treat it like a hobby and let your inner mad scientist have a field day lol. We live for prototyping shit. Let loose your curiosity and see where it leads you.

> Calling a political system "capitalist" is a category mistake anyway. Capitalism is an economic system.

That‘s exactly what they‘re getting at though. Politics aren‘t just about politics anymore, but are handled like an economic system.

I mean in the literal sense of capitalism, as defined in Wikipedia, you’re right, every country that produces and distributes stuff is capitalist.

But I think what he‘s saying is the understanding of society for capitalism. For example

> The paper showed a picture of homeless people sleeping on the streets with the caption underneath 'the unacceptable face of capitalism'. Link

In that sense, I think Germany definitely is different than let‘s say the US. The gap between the rich and the poor is being kept minimal by the government through the strict tax laws.

I've already devoted enough time to online religious arguments.

So I'll just drop this here. Read it or don't, I don't really care. But logic and religion go together just fine if you spend enough time thinking about it and reading different things.

Most definitely. Scheduling is hard when we thrive off of the next idea. How do you plan for something that hasn't happened yet? The tool that has brought me closest to being able to effectively schedule is Trello. Trello Referral Link If you're familiar with KanBan, Agile or SCRUM this is a really effective tool. However I found it too easy to get lost in the hyperspace of personalization.

You totally strawmanned me there. I never said anything about Snowden... and tbh the irony in this is that the nonsense about ufo and whatever... secret government tall grey underground lairs etc.. that distracts the public from talk of the sort of REAL significant mystery/ government secrets that are available.

Also not all there.

But here's the thing. What if the unique types recognized in the MBTI percentages (including ENTP, INFJ for our purposes here tonight) are examples of evolutionary psychology taking place?

Like....what if the quirks we exhibit are the types already shaping for future uses of the human brain and we just don't see the connections yet?

Channel your inner ENTJ motherfucker. It's time to whip out that Te.

You want a highly efficient rocket stove. It has downsides. For example, if you use it incorrectly, any fireplace can poison you with CO. Even storing wood pellets in your basement can release the deadly carbon monoxide. A fireplace is tricky to set up properly in an air-tight house. You'd be burning up the precious oxygen and might have to have a dedicated air intake from the outside. Do you want to use it just for heating or for cooking as well?

Where in Europe?

By the way, if everyone had one of these, then in a densely populated area there would be too much smoke.

You also could benefit from installing geothermal heating which requires a little bit of electricity input. Or solar panels and a massive battery bank. Well that is expensive and won't save you in the winter ...

If you can join some social groups. Like meetup.com or school clubs. A lot of people in those are nerds, have anxiety disorders, or have Asperger's, and they'll often appreciate your greater social skills and enthusiasm. I think these sort of "social support groups" are good for ENTPs because we tend to be so accepting and unfazed by people others consider weird or don't like for simply being different/a bit daft socially. At least they can provide you with a social pick-me-up.

Well fix it, son!

It all started with some dreams. In a recurring dream I was in a pitch black spiral staircase in an ancient castle with a torch, and I had to go down, down, down. It was terrifying but I had to go down, forever. In another dream I was floating a few feet off the ground down the street when I realized I was dreaming and could do anything I wanted. I thought this is my chance and I'm not going to blow it, so I went up, up, up. I left earth and looked down upon it--and kept going. Then the--atmosphere? ambience?--changed, became frigid, and a voice of power too great for comprehension said one word with terrible force--NO. Instantly I fell back into my body and was awake. Then somehow I came across some book called C.G. Jung:His Myth in Our Time by Marie-Louise von Franz https://www.amazon.com/Jung-his-myth-our-time/dp/0316905305, who was Jung's assistant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-Louise\_von\_Franz. It was a revelation. Then in another dream after reading the book I was in a room surrounded by blackness but I could sense the room was larger then I could imagine. Then a woman in a white robe appeared out of the darkness and told me I was dreaming and could do whatever I wanted. Unfortunately I panicked and woke up. I haven't run into a math book yet that could explain any of that.

The article is also oddly aware of concerns about ML and then rosily denies the problem it potentially poses to programming jobs. You can characterize ML approaches as training computers rather than programming where by programming I mean giving the computer a linear set of instructions to accomplish a task.

If you don't care about the way that task is accomplished (i.e. you don't need a physically realistic simulation, etc.) then ML can be a useful tool to accomplish that task without having to actually program an algorithm.

There are already some code-generating software tools in use -- things which pump out templates or UI code from wireframes -- and those types of things are most susceptible to code automation in my opinion. Here's a proof-of-concept ML approach that creates code from a .jpg of a mock-up UI.

ML won't lead to real AI. But ML approaches like generative adversarial networks (GANs) might just might automate a lot of highly domain-specific tasks that now require large amounts of routine but tedious and error prone human coding.

You will be extremely excited to know the us fertility/birth rate is at an all time low, that link is huffpo and full of drama but you can google it yourself and check it out. Your maybe for forced abortions? So it "my body my choice" until other people decide it's not(i mean that already happens as people disregard the body autonomy and rights of the unborn).

Also, check out the example of doggerland (and other lands) disappearing and how our landscape have been shaped by glaciers covering continents that have melted-the earths temp (and water level) have been rising for thousands of years. I do understand that people have had a negative impact on the earth-like overfishing (grrrr) and coal burning etc but climate change has been occurring forever. Saying that is reason to force a woman to have an abortion is stupid and uninformed. Maybe we should focus on giving cows beanoinstead?

>Some bleeding is normal after a tonsillectomy, but the amount of her bleeding was very abnorma

Right, it sounds like that was lost in translation. Jahi says bleeding, nurse says normal, doctor doesn't respond immediately because it's normal.

I'm a white person. I had a kidney stone removed before through an invasive surgery. I pissed two liters of blood the next morning, complained to the nurse. I was told that's normal and explained that given I just had shit stuck up my dick, i should expect to pee blood. Never saw the Doctor. Turned out fine.

But if I hadnt... What would my excuse be? That's my point. Why ascribe to racism what can easily be ascribed to negligence or poor communication? It activated seeks a race war.

>As far as I can tell from looking at the research, there is no correlation between after surgery bleeds and obesity.

Bleeding can mean a few different things. The doctor even pointed out she was having a heart attack. I'm not a doctor, but I'd be willing to bet that her coughing up blood and having cardiac arrest were correlated. Btw after a 30 second Google search I found this

https://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20070314/surgery-risks-higher-for-obese

It's so relaxing... I like to combine it with rain to get the best effect.

It could. If you are trying to pump 5V into one end of the wire and 0V into its other end at the same time, bad things can happen. Usually there are digital gates that (diodes essentially) that act as one-way conductors for as long as the right voltage is applied to them, thus protecting the "bus". Mechanical sensors that detect whether the stick of ram is in or out can turn the power on / off to the RAM. When used properly, it worked properly. After an improper use many things could go wrong. There is also static, potential short-circuiting due to moisture. The voltages are too small to harm a human, but electronics ...
