And, surprisingly, I actually don’t read much of Plato or Socrates. I mostly read of philosophers in the last four centuries with an emphasis on the modern (cuz they’re easier to read) 😀

Yes! John Piper actually chose Jonathan Edwards as the one theologian he would try to study the most of. There’s a John Piper book I’m reading that is split into two parts. The first part is Piper deconstructing Edwards and analyzing his work. The second part is one of Edwards’ greatest works, “The End For Which God Created The World.” The book…[Read more]

@emily-d Ok. I should probs check him out. Philosophy in general is such a vast field that it’s hard to find good people in it. I normally read of the erroneous views of old-timey people like Nietzsche and Voltaire. But now I’m trying to saturate myself with the Christian philosophers (aka theologians) like Jonathan Edwards.

@winter-rose Well, when it happens be sure to announce the release here! By the way, what’s the basic premise of your book?

I have an answer . . . but I’m more curious what @Leumeister @Charisetter @f5a8c3e92 @RadicalGlitter @Cloudy will say–if they say anything at all.

@emily-d I’m not familiar with Shaeffer. I did google him though and I recognize one of his books–True Spirituality. Why do you ask?

@kate-flournoy Oh, fun. Breaking down MBTI.
It’s true that most people don’t understand I and E that well. But the way you define it is not what I’ve heard. I tend to gravitate towards the definition that Susan Cain uses in her book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking which describes introverts as people who have a…[Read more]

@jane-maree Better put your kind in a reservation before you go extinct 😀
@BethanysInkyRoses I’ve been lied to my entire life?!
@dragon-snapper @daughteroftheking It’s totally fine to not like philosophy. I just find it helpful to understand other people’s worldviews (like postmodernism) as well as culture and art. But a lot of it is too…[Read more]

@ingridrd Sounds awesome. I was wondering how much they reinvented the film. It sounds like Disney did a fantastic job.

@daeus LOL! I guess I trust psychology a little more than you. Your statistical achievement is really something. It made me rethink my position on MBTI and my chances to win the Powerball. But you’re still assuming MBTI is correct. I would rather try to empirically find out evidence instead of trying to prove a theory. It’s begging the question…[Read more]

Mark Kamibaya replied to the topic MBTI is Fake in the forum Characters 7 years, 4 months ago
Oh, no. The clickbait actually worked.
@daeus I see the point you’re trying to make, but I’d have to disagree with you on the case of psychology and science. Sure, psychology is a broad and undeveloped arm of science to be sure. But to discount psychology as “crazy” or “pseudoscience” seems a bit extreme. To prove MBTI through its immediate…[Read more]

@jess-penrose I totally agree.

@jess-penrose Exactly! I also use MBTI for characters, but then I trash it later on 😛 But I never got used to using it on people. I just thought the article showed me that MBTI (and the Enneagram too) is definitely not the end game when it comes to personality. So I thought of my writing buddies and the community here on KP.

Wow I’ve heard of him! I’ve read Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper and he quoted Jonathan Edwards quite a bit. He sounded really good. Whenever I think of the term “philosopher” I think of Socrates, Plato, et cetera, but it’s nice to be reminded that there’s a Christian side to it!
