So I took the test and I was profiled as an INTP - Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving. The description of the INTP so amazingly accurately depicts my way of thought. Measly Earthlings, it is time for copy-and-pasting.

INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.

Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists.

Mathematics is a system where many INTPs love to play, similarly languages, computer systems–potentially any complex system. INTPs thrive on systems. Understanding, exploring, mastering, and manipulating systems can overtake the INTP’s conscious thought. This fascination for logical wholes and their inner workings is often expressed in a detachment from the environment, a concentration where time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli are held at bay. Accomplishing a task or goal with this knowledge is secondary.

Many regard this attitude as arrogant, and Architects are likely, especially in their later years, after finding out that most others are faking an understanding of the laws of nature, to think of themselves as the prime movers who must pit themselves against nature and society in an endless struggle to define ends clearly and adopt whatever means that promise success. If this is arrogance, then at least it is not vanity, and without question it has driven the design engineers to take the lead in molding the structure of civilization.

They are content to sit back and think about what might work, given their view of the situation. INTPs may ignore standard operating procedures. The hours that they spend are not what is important to them, but rather the completion of their thought process

Yes, I am very fascinated with systems. :) I just spent 2 days programming a statistic program although there is Google Analytics. I want to manipulate data and GA doesn’t let me. All it provides is a email report system, pfft…. I want XML!

Oh yea some of the favored careers: philosopher, game designer, scientist, software engineer - yea all the things you expect, but this: assassin. OH it all makes sense now. Still, I do not favor a career where I have to trade time for money, after all this whole career thing is a system itself. Neither do I want to be a DBA because I am not at all fascinated with uncreative administration, I want to design. To be able to architect a system to generate exponential wealth seems much favorable. I have a system in mind but it is quite difficult to implement. It will exploit existing systems, not in a bad way, to generate automatic wealth. Then there is business, which is also a system.

Yea, as those who have played TTD with me knows, I am more interested in perfecting my complex railway system than actually winning/generating virtual money. After I have got it all figured out, I got bored of it.

What have I learned? I learned that there are others who would rather not deal with the complexity. In other words, there are people who are different in this sense. Sorry, but all of you are mere mortals in this system and I am the architect.

It says I am a rule breaker and may ignore standard operating procedures. Exactly! Who wants to follow the lab notes or the text-book? I rather figure it out by myself. Damn institutions. The schools do not reward those who figure out by themselves, rather, they merit those who follow instructions. By giving out step by step procedures to guide them along. Why are they in an programming course in the first place?

If you do not know by now, “the default path” as I would like the call it is the “standard life procedure” of study hard, work even harder, becoming zombies, complain, retire and die. It is absolutely abhorring that people are trying to enforce such values onto me although they might mean good, then again, people always enforce their values on others. I am already planning to break many of these rules including death. Yeap, I have joined the Immortality Institute for awhile now. No one but me questions the validity of the existing rules and paths. It is unfortunately too stupid for me. By me, I meant all who are like me. Hello clones.

In other news..

I HATE YOU. Nah, I hate everyone else as well. Actually, I just didn’t want to hurt your feelings. I have ventured into the unknown mehahahaha.

I have 2 videos for you.

Yours, as Always,
Master

PS. I was lying, love everyone.

Up the bridge
You have to walk up the stairs first. Hard things first.

Down the tunnel
You walk down first. Hard things later.

Which would you rather take to cross a road?
This relates to my previous post.
Why don’t we give up going home while we can give up on other things?
Maybe it is the time cost and mental energy consumption.

Going home is so object oriented ( not in the programming sense )
You cannot “survive, being stuck in between.
While working on self solo projects are so “optional”.

One thing I cannot stand is brain dead grunt work.
It is a torture to get through database administration.
My brain cannot stop.
Imagine the unexciting task of moving data around.
Solving database problems? Backing up databases?
What the X!? Standard Routines Maximus.

I would enjoy designing systems, than working in one.
I love systems. I love perfection.
I love to create perfect, eternal systems.
Eternal: Built to last forever without need for human intervention.
Systems are so beautiful.
Oh, who else would appreciate?
You? Oh, come on.
It is like art. Self-gratification.
The end.
Fin.

P.S. Howdy. I SAID HOWDY! Introspection is a hobby.

Should we vote based on our opinion even if it is selfish?

An example:

  • Enbloc selling of your condominium
  • You just moved in, bought the place at a high price, don’t want to sell
  • Yet you understand why other people want to sell
  • They would profit, move to a better place perhaps.

Okay, so you know it is better for the majority of the residence if the Enbloc goes through, but to you, individually, it is detrimental.

Should you vote, based on your own opinion or “more ethically” based on the benefit of the majority, the greater good? Your vote makes the difference.

It does seem more ethical to not be “selfish”, but the system doesn’t work this way. The democratic system aims to take into account every of our true individual opinions, to judge a situation. So if 20%++ of people truly would not agree to the sales, for example, the Enbloc will not proceed.

For a true, outcome, all votes must reflect the selfish opinion of the individual.

Politically, it might be a little different, you might be conservative but you go by the “live and let live” principle. Hence, you vote for liberty, because with liberty, you can be conservative all you want and those people who are not can exercise their rights too. :)
