There was a side conversation about the show Numb3rs. I was responding to that, but did not start the topic of NT TV shows.

I said it's an opinion 'of mine'
("Speaking of Death Note").

I'm hesitant... not sure if this is right but...

Few pieces or stories are simple enough to move me emotionally, but this one does it.

By "move me emotionally" you mean it's funny because of the poor translation, right? :devil:

No, I mean it makes me cry.

Then again, years of anime-geeking have pretty much inoculated me against poor translations. Knowing the grammatical quirks of Japanese language (and foreign languages in general) allows phrases like "her face was filled with smile" to convey their original meaning without restructuring.

You have to admit that

I was a robot made by lonely scientist
To say how it done
"Miracle"


was pretty funny :devil:

Also, how come you are only moved emotionally by simple stories?

Not in the least... that's pretty standard for crappy translation x.x

I don't know why. I guess if it gets too complex I start to pick it apart and get angry at the characters for making stupid decisions.

I suppose complex and long stories often become... unromantic. Are you secretly a romantic INTP? Isn't that an oxymoron? I suppose that's where the lower-case "t" comes in ;)

I don't really know what I am...

I don't think a romantic INTP is an oxymoron. Most INTPs (as far as I know) are 5w4s, which basically means they long for something that doesn't exist (ie. true romance.) No?

Depends on the definition of "romantic". I suppose there is a kind of romanticism to their idealist usage of logic, for example, but the romantic aspect of their personality seems to be in a purely intellectual rather than interpersonal fashion.

Maybe they don't secretly yearn for it, but the Fe section on most INTP profiles suggests it is simply buried deep under layers of cynicism :3

Actually, now that I think about it, didn't someone just say cynicism is a brand of idealism?

Cynicism is the face of idealism after having been punched repeatedly by reality, thereby becoming a wretched, bloody mask covering what's underneath.

Well, yes, but I was referring to this.
So when you say "cynicism" is a brand of idealism you mean the classic school of philosophy? I'd say they were idealistic in many ways. I wonder if anyone would actually object to that. It's funny how much language is distorted over time.

I don't remember which thread it was in but basically the idea was that pursuit of virtue leads you to realize just how disgusting and immoral humans are.

That is to say, cynics (even contemporary ones) are actually some of the most idealistic people - too idealistic for this world.

Yeah, the cynic is a cynic because no on can live up to their expectations. They are proven experience after experience that no one can live up to there vision and they then believe no one can. One vicious cycle.

I always thought cynicism was a pure form of optimism for similar reasons to ReflecttcelfeR. A cynic is a cynic because as an idealist he knows and strives for what CAN be, but isn't. And the cynicism is the result: dismay at the gulf between what is and what can be.
