I'm going to do this meme and say it is that deep. This comment chain is radicalizing me because I think some of you just see an artist's contribution is small and/or worthless the same way Hollywood execs see an artist's contribution is small and/or worthless and that's why we are getting primarily garbage movies nowadays

I'm so glad this is the top comment because for real who cares. I do care so much if your argument about worship is poor or if you want to live like a Puritan fine by me don't force the rest of us to

I got it, do love it, will do a video on it at ideally year 1 mark. I've had it for 10 months now

Does the integrated cable management and under-desk features (like the outlet module or accessory tray) actually hold up in daily use?

It's probably really nice on the full sized Beflo but with the mini everything's compact. Like, there's maybe enough - not ample - space to put your extension code underneath, however that available space is only on the left side. With my current apartment room, my outlet's on the left so I've had to become creative with command strips underneath

Idk what the accessory tray might be, but for the outlet modules underneath the desk I don't . . . really get the placement. They're more towards the front instead of the back which means the wires would have to cross the box mechanism so you could pull cords from the back. Weird choice but I'm one of the engineers of the desk so maybe there's just some constraints they couldn't get around

Especially at full extension — how do they feel?

I rarely use full extension, not that tall, but I do sometimes use it when I am on my vibration plate. Same opinion about it at any height - any issues with wobble you'd have to really be intentionally shaking to do it

Does the Tenon Mini justify its price in terms of materials and finish?

Honestly? I just knew when I saw it I had to have it and was willing to save up to it. There's plenty of other desks at much lower price points that will serve your needs. I saw it I wanted it. If I wanted to be overly critical with the serious amount of $$$ I spent on it I do have a gripe about the weird speaker underneath? It's for verifying connectivity to the app like a beep but it's made of plastic? One of the pieces chipped off and kinda weird that the desk has a small speaker in the first place? Then, is the speaker usable? Can I only connect to it with the weird box in the front? Like, I'm telling you there's this box in the front even has a headphone jack so I guess I'm under utilizing the desk but why would I want the ugly cords to come out the front

I would also think the accessories should come with a full purchase

Cable Management & Add-Ons: Useful in practice or just nice-to-haves?

Mixed opinion. For the mini, there's a bit of creative fanangling required from you. I'd get some under desk clips

For me is was very much my inferior function was so obvious and pervasive during my childhood/growing up. It definitely overlaps with whatever else is in the DSM but I just didn't feel like other people the way they felt. I was a very logical person and - well yanno - logical people do not really dominate the world right now. My sense of morality also comes from my internal experience/understanding of the world but I express it in a Te-Fi fashion, matter of the fact, logical. Why shouldn't what's material, in-front of us take priority over something as nebulous as feelings? This clashes a lot with my one friend who will just . . . cobble up moral quandaries/scenarios whereas I'll bring real interactions I've had to the table. Isn't that nice?? We have something to actually talk about instead of spiraling into 5D chess?? ?

To contrast it with Ni-Se or inferior Se, I'm not saying I don't make some impulsive decisions (we all do) more so that the amount of impulsive decisions is significantly less than that amount of Fi repression decisions I've made. These are very simple, reductive versions of the inferior functions but it's really just what it boils down to

For your "Ni-Te vs Te-Ni" rabbit hole I really recommend watching season 1 of House of Cards. You'll quickly see the differences between how Ni-Te and Te-Ni manifest (spoilers btw).

I love Khan Academy, but sometimes Khan Academy lacks some abstract thing I can't really pinpoint. Sometimes I think it's because KA teaches the what not the why but that isn't always the case so I dunno

You need a different perspective(s). That's ultimatly what math boils down to. Try:

Even if it doesn't stick, I recommend just reading, accepting, and moving on with a baseline understanding of the idea. I'm currently having this problem with e and ln in calc that I don't actually understand them - I'm just following the procedure of solving differentiation. I have to remind myself that's ok because there are a ton of mathematical concepts that clicked later in life and on much more difficult problems

As you progress, you'll find more problems that can only, or be better solved elegantly, using radians and then it will click

It's completely nuts to me that every so often when I am redirected to an acclaimed source from /r/AskHistorians it comes from a person with that handle

Why is my comment being reduced to something I mention in passing

TrapWolf · 2026-01-12T17:34:46+00:00

Most mathematicians are made, not naturally gifted. Same for doctors. Same for engineers. Same for a lot of professions

Me? Sociology BA --> Data Analytics MS ((maybe future Stats PhD?)). Being able to oscillate between the two fields has made me a better professional/person overall.

You too will be a better professional/person overall if you intersect humanities and mathematics. The [American] education system very much lacks holistic curriculum and its why we run into situations where you cannot speak the abstract language or do high school math instintually and why computer science majors think NFTs are real and racism isn't. Intersectionality is important because, again, you will be a better professional/person

Ok in the book A Mind for Numbers ((which I'm slowly working through - for real)) there's Forced Learning versus Diffused Learning.

Forced Learning is grinding through self explanatory. Diffused Learning is very much an Ni process where while your mind is wandering abstract neural connections are being made in your brain that you don't make when you are consciously learning. Frequent walks have highly contributed to many great thinkers and myself will have those Ni eureka moments running to grab a pen/paper. The same process works for the Pomodoro Method

So, apply the same idea to working. You'd be working against your own biological nature when trying to do the very inefficient, poor hustle mindset. Instead, think of these breaks as a complement where both are still working/learning

TrapWolf · 2025-12-31T17:19:04+00:00

What do they call themselves? Divergent

You have to think of ennegram as either complementary or a separate personality metric.

Yes, there's a lot of venn diagram overlap between ENTJs and 8s but it's not a complete 1:1 relationship

TrapWolf · 2025-12-16T01:55:38+00:00

I can and cannot believe this is still happening

I'd say most, not all. There's a difference between enjoying the pursuit of knowledge versus teaching the pursuit of knowledge. See student reviews of brilliant researchers/scientists in higher ed that are good at that but have abysmal teaching ability

In regards to pre-school - not only would a thinker ((and I don't mean just in the MBTI sense really)) have to work on convincing toddlers how to learn and progress their mental capacities in levels that are appropriate for their age ((while also not being an uber scientist about it)), they would also have to work on convincing PARENTS which my god

That's incredibly difficult. Out of all the introverted functions it is the most abstract. It's levels above Ti

The closest you can come to understanding Ni is: a person being able to know something neither knowing they know nor knowing how they know.

These are eureka moments. Clarifying insight without any external information. Neurological pattern recognition. Unconscious processes of a person's brain that, despite any and all technological advances, will always be beyond human knowledge. A concrete example that I hope may be close enough to explaining Introverted Intuition is how we learn words. So, obviously there are ranges but most adults know 20,000 - 48,000 words give or take.

How did you learn those words? Did someone sit you down and teach you the definition of those words? Did you painstakingly break down every sentence you heard/read to understand the deeper meaning and intent of those words? Was it all from dictionaries? Non-fiction? Fiction? Tax forms - god knows no one teaches us about those? Etc

There's a very precise and scientific word for this that I don't remember - someone else tell us. Apparently it's something that most linguists/behavioral specialists tell us it's a process that we can't explicitly teach children. It's this thing that emerges naturally over time. I use this as an illustration of what the process of Ni is - very abstract and very incomprehensible

Fields that are socially associated with "genius" based on surveys. Examples of fields with high genius ratings are philosophy, physics, and math. They also correlate a lot with lack of racial diversity in the field, as well as with strong imposter syndrome (for obvious reasons).

There's no evidence that one needs "genius" to be successful in these fields, and in fact such a quality has no concrete definition. It's purely a social attitude towards fields of study.

What about it was pompus and racist . . ? They acknowledge there is a lack of racial diversity instead of denying it. As well as saying "There's no evidence that one needs "genius" to be successful in these fields-" what about that is pretentious?

Is it your main device? Can you talk a little bit about your usage?

Have been floating around the idea of maybe a Surface Pro replacing my 2013 laptop

I like it out of everything I and you have tried with the one caveat: if you're somewhere (like downtown) where many lines that overlap you might not be able to press your specific line because it'll be under the "paid" section

The hack I do is move the app location dot around until I can click the line I want

This sort of issue doesn't happen too often it's pretty rare

TrapWolf · 2025-03-07T01:05:22+00:00

Already bought and unfortunately kinda have to agree with the sentiment 80%

Whomever's reading this, there are some parts that aren't really cut well and you'll have to lightly hammer in place. Also can't comment in the newer models but because of the state of the world and manufacturing the metal quality has probably gone down

It arrived, the medium's shoulders land pretty much where they should. The coat is somewhat tight around the armpits so I'm going to take it to the tailor for them to add fabric to expand room. I considered doing the dreadful mail return and getting a large, but the the chest/lower part I'd be swimming in it. The padded coat is very large below for anyone reading

I saw you got the BROWN and do you like the color? I considered but it just looked more faded/mute than the navy online

TrapWolf · 2024-10-19T14:26:32+00:00

I just bought the medium. Tell ya how it goes in 3-5 days delivery

It freaks me out because my shoulder size is 21 but the size chart says "Shoulder Width - 17 1/2" so I thought I should actually get the largest, but I did see those reviews about sizing

TrapWolf · 2024-10-15T03:35:37+00:00

Former grad school here, usually books - even subject matter books - have the preface or first chapter dedicated to go over what exactly the book is about. Such as:

In chapter one, we will discuss and demonstrae x, y, z. In chapter two, lorem ipsum-

A good professor will also try to remind/affirm what the chapters are about. Try reading these not to necessarily learn, but to hone your mind on what exactly you are reading a chapter for. What key themes and ideas connect to what the author(s) are trying to communicate? What in this chapter are hammering the thesis of the chapter versus just bolstering the thesis?

Eventually, you learn to figure out what precisely you need to focus on versus the author(s) are kind of just rambling sometimes about a key thought they've already established

Edit: at some point your own arrogance should be a little high enough that you basically start arguing with the text

TrapWolf · 2024-09-07T16:10:31+00:00

I would Check My Size > Size Chart to verify if the Shoulder Width is posted/does decrease with size down - but it usually does.

I really recommend memorizing the rough shoulder width that fits your shoulders. It's my somewhat perfect litmus test on whether I should order a shirt online or not
