actually... everyone's artistic interests is super low. Is it possible there's something about posting on a forum that makes people seem less artistically inclined?
a friend suggested the relationship between prevalence in the community and popularity as far as traits go is an artifact of
1) that certain traits like Depression are "objectively worse" than others like Morality
2) internet forums like ours are cesspools of bad traits

Might also be all the mafia and general debating that we do, skews heavily towards analytic/scientific biases.

My phone is. I can't even count how many pagetops I've gotten from phoneposting at work lately.

There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

I know it's a longshot that any potential damage will arise of this, but I'd like to ask Psyche to shut this down for now until we can review the IBM confidentiality stuff.
Oh you fucking killjoy
Are you seriously trying to get this shut down because a string of 6000 words likely with just a username and (rarely) first name attached goes to a source which probably won't but may read it even though they likely have no clue who the user is and can't really do fuck all about it
It occurs to me that post probably came off weird so I should add that I think this project is very cool and I wish I was passionate enough about something to create anything half as cool as this.
I think the lack of artistic interests/self expression comes from the fact we don't really talk about art or "personal interests" much here. Pretty much everything in the speakeasy is memes, Serious Matters, or cries for help. The other big outlier on my chart was anger(since I don't really feel anger), which is easily accounted for since my posting style is admittedly just a little hostile+I'm prone to hyperbole.
I think this is mostly correct for my forum profile but is somewhat incorrect to my actual personality. Or maybe not, I dunno.
