You should post a pic of yourself. It's cool to have a mental image of the people you talk to. We now know that noodles is a dancing unicorn who uses sexy sweaters (demonstrated by emperorblackdoom in other thread), so it would be nice to know how the philosophizing eagle looks like.


I will, then. I just need to figure out how. I've never done it before... Do I need to make a link?

Just need to upload the image to Photobucket or something similar. Then copy the link (the 4th one). It's easy.

I'm very sorry I just saw you post. Yes... I'm not particularity enjoying it all that much, it's more a career thing for me so I can help people. I don't think a lot of definitions we learn in Psychology will be used all that much in the practical sense later on in sessions.

Although I'm only in my second year of my studies I can already see where you're coming from. There are definitely some interesting bits here and there (in the courses I'm taking, I'm not talking about psychology as a whole) but so far the emphasis is mostly on the scientific and methodological aspects. I'm hoping that'll change in the near future though.

Yes... That's the reason I'm minoring in Philosophy. The root of all genuine Psychology comes from Philosophy and from understanding behaviors in a purely pragmatical and empirical sense ( apart from the fact that my first love is Philosophy). I'm also enjoying a lot of my non-Psychology courses much, much more than my actual Psychology courses which is a shame to begin with.

This is definitely true. I've had an "introduction to philosophy" as it was called officially which I found to be very interesting. I wish they had expanded more on that than on statistics for example.
Indeed it is too bad that you're not really enjoying your Psychology courses but I'm glad that you at least found a way, via your Phylosophy minor, to combine the good with the bad, so to speak.

Oh I hate statistics so much. I generally don't have a way with mathematics at all other than how it can explain the nature of infinity. Thank you... I guess I have found a way out of the dryness of Psychology to reach a point where I can make money out of it. I just wish common jobs paid more because the whole spectrum of going to university has lost its purposes in the 21st century and it has totally become a money-making business for the majority of the population.

Indeed. People now go to the University to gain a paper so they could make more 'paper' in their jobs, not because of the will to learn and cultivate the mind and spirit. I remember a paragraph in Nietzsche's Antichrist, where he was whining how the XIX century men where inferior to the Renaissance men. I wonder what would he think of XXI men... :sad:

Well, of course. The Renaissance were the golden years in history no matter how one looks at it. Nietzsche was obviously right and his philosophy would fit our 21st century mentality perfectly. Although Nietzsche did not like a lot of things in life due to his very poor health and the stress he was under all of his life.

Although I agree that most people go to university just to get a diploma for the sake of it, some actually go to university because they really want to expand their knowledge on a specific subject.
But yeah, most universities are mostly about the money these days.

The most passionate people I have seen are in the arts studying music or theater. Those two subject don't exactly have a bright future in our days. One either has to be very lucky or get the recognition one deserves well down the road when it should have and must have happened a lot earlier. In European countries you can see a lot of extremely talented artists painting or drawing on the street corners and what not which is a huge shame. It goes to show what direction the 21st century has taken with politics, money and war.

Location: Bay Area, California
Real first name: Sean
Age: 18
Location: Morgan Hill, California, US
Job/school?: Dishwasher at a local cooking-related company, currently finishing high school and eventually applying for college somewhere
Favorite bands: Iron Maiden, Cynic, King Diamond, Soundgarden, Soilent Green
Current favorite album: Endstille's Verführer
Non-musical interests: The arcade, science fiction, history
How you discovered Metal: Forgot how, but I discovered Iron Maiden when I was 11 or so. A neighbor of mine actually showed me Pantera, but I didn't listen to much outside of Maiden until I was 15, where I got into Megadeth and Sodom. A year or so later I was listening to pretty much everything.
How you discovered Metal Reviews: Was tired of reading very biased reviews of Atheist's Jupiter (crying about production and the fact Roger Patterson died and therefore bass sucked), and in looking for a more balanced review that referenced the actual songs, I found the site.
Gen. info: I'm a nice guy?

Location: The Moor
Real first name: James

Age: 26

Location: Perth, Western Australia

Job/school?: Part-time at local bottle shop (liquor store) - Professional Writing degree on hiatus

Favorite bands: Opeth, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond (counts as 1), Death

Current favorite album: Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain

Non-musical interests: Reading fantasy, writing reviews, video games (Nintendo), basketball, drumming

How you discovered Metal: Used to listen to mainstream alternative crap (contradiction in terms, but you know it exists) then managed to discover A Perfect Circle - that led to Tool circa 2000, Lateralus remained my favourite album for about 4 years, then I discovered Opeth on the recommendation of a friend. Never looked back - nothing is too brutal!

How you discovered Metal Reviews: Pretty sure I was looking for more reviews to confirm my long-held view that Opeth are metal gods. And found them :D

Gen. info: I tend to not get involved in arguments, as they're largely pointless affairs - hence I hate politics, although I do consider myself left-wing. I generally spend too much time playing games (yes, Guitar Hero is awesome), and various other nerd-related activities. I have sweet long hair, but it's super thick and gets fucking knotted like a bitch. And you know how they get knotted.
