The Reason Why Finn Can Wield A Lightsaber

Ok, this is just more ad nauseam, and now you're also contradicting yourself.

Lucas told them to imagine that the handles were of immense weight, the blades were to be weightless. The handles not the blades.

I'd prefer if you didn't abuse ad hominem attacks, thanks. Furthermore, I'm not the type of person to throw "hissy fits," my reasons for wanting to close this thread are not only logical, but also rational. There is very little emotional involvement I have in this discussion.

Judging by you're use of ad hominem, I'd gauge you're trying to incite me. I can assure you, it's not possible.

I've already told you why I want this thread closed. What is it with you people and arguing ad nauseam. I wanted people with some good points and they did, but now it's just fallacy fest 2016.

I've accepted many different ideas, positions, and types of evidence. All this has turned in to now is a bunch of people just arguing ad nauseam, like can you guys seriously not bring anything new to the table. "Oh but this weapon and this..." no, this was already covered several pages ago, etc...

"Melee training follows into light saber skill" first off, that's illicit minor, second off it's an argument from ignorance, thirdly it's cherry picking, fourth it's another ad nauseam argument, fifth it's already been previously debunked.

 

^this is a prime example of cherry picking, and now you're outlining a false dilemma without even realizing it. Marvelous, it truly is my lucky day

No, out of all the things that I find entertaining, this is one of the most entertaining because now that the thread has been derailed, I've deleted the OP, and asked "FOR THE THREAD TO BE LOCKED PLEASE" , I can engage in true arguments of wit.

Foremost, I've already given my logical reason for continuing to reply to this thread. It would be illogical and irrational for me to cease replying. If you were to look back at the first several pages of this thread, you would notice that I accepted a lot of different points, changed a lot of notions that I held prior, and was extremely level headed when people would argue logically.

I don't attach myself to my arguments because I make my arguments, they don't make me. This appears to be the exact opposite for the majority of everyone else currently participating in this thread. Too strung up by emotion.

Am I the only INTP around?

 

There are no strict protocols of debate, but straw men arguments are usually frowned upon. Ahhh then tries to equivocate fictional topics to real ones to display their inferiority, but wait... you're doing so to incite an emotional reaction. However, you appeared to lose your temper a post or two ago, so you've retreated to ad hoc rescue fallacies and contradictions. Love it, true demonstration of wit.

I'm not going to engage in slinging ad hominem attacks or fallacies at you. It'd be pointless because I'd just lower myself to your level of ignorance and you'd beat me with experience. Oh wait, the irony.

You think I believe in rules? In structure? No, I heed little attention to them.

Don't worry I don't drink caffeine, I just take vyvanse instead, and how can I get stressed out when I've got a script for valium?

I love this, you're displaying your own ignorance (if not to those around us, then to the world) by this argument from avoidance.


Edit: but remember, the only thing that wins in debate is the truth. Or in this instance, wit over ignorance. The latter you seem rather adept in its use.

 

There we go, hit me with the heat.

Yes Meyes Briggs based off of the theory made by Car Jung in 1910--Which was first implemented into Meyes Briggs and then into Socionics by the Soviets. Interesting that test reliability is so low, as it's purported accuracy rates are upwards of 95%, as reported by the American Psychological Association (Edit: statement made in 2013). Although, I can assure you, it's not a pseudo psychological theory, and is infact, rather brilliant at describing the human thought process. MBTI along with Enneagram forms a potent formula for someone's personality. Sadly no, I never learned that in a second rate high school, though the high school I went to was hardly second rate, but that's extraneous information. My discovery of MBTI was pure coincidence. My current work with MBTI pertains strictly to the research team I currently am part of to invest into the relation MBTI types have in accordance to how people act when exposed to various economic theories.

As far as I am concerned, businesses never vested strong interest in MBTI in the first place. Although, I can't speak conclusively of course. However, MBTI in combination with others personality type indicators, is helping to advance the social structures of all age groups (re: helping to develop stronger interpersonal relations). In an age of growing cooperation and collaborative thinking, MBTI couldn't hold a higher standard as to help those of like minds think together, but also to enable agents to understand the thought process of others.

In NCAA debate I've found that knowing an opponent's MBTI prior to the fact gives you a very distinct edge.


AS A REMINDER TO ANY MODS RUNNING ACROSS THIS THREAD, PLEASE PROCEED TO LOCK IT.

 

Finn is force sensitive. I can rate blast now


edit: nope still can't do that, but I can create threads with 0 posts

 

Yeah pretty much spam mailed a bunch of mods

"I hate to admit it, but this is one of the most entertaining threads I have ever posted in. I'm probably a bad person for saying it, but the OP reminds me of a young cousin I have. Brilliant guy and he means well but he can't have a conversation in which people who are obviously of lower intelligence than him don't bow down and respect his PHD and Macarthur Genius Grant. It devolves into a conversation just like this one nearly every time. And I for one, and I suspect many others, just can't help ourselves."

As far as disagreement goes, I'm usually pretty lax and accepting of it, but when there's chronic disagreement I usually fret away. I'm not really the type that gets hell bent on a specific outcome. The prescription drug use is legal (scripted to me), not really afraid to announce I'm ADHD and GAD, but I'll refrain in the future.

hate to bring MBTI back into this, but in heated debates, INTP/Js get extremely cold, logical, and boost themselves up against their opponent by using subtle superiority complexes mainly because people who fall along those types straight up fear incompetence. NT's in MBTI or 4's, 5's, and 6's in Enneagram--fear inferiority and feel as if they must assert their competence by degrading others.

As far as evidence for Finn being force sensitive: http://www.mediaobservers.com/star-wars-the-force-awakens-defending-finn/

EDIT: my theory wasn't personal, and I actually wrote it to be extremely one sided (I don't even believe some of things I wrote)

Personally, I'm on the lines that there's a ~70% chance that Finn is force sensitive.

skip to around the 1:20 mark.

Finn is standing far away from the castle where the falcon is, and he hears screaming (women and children) randomly from the sky. The screams are clear, and he hears explosions. However, he's hearing all of this while the beams are still traveling to the planets. The two aliens around him don't notice anything and continue on completely oblivious to the sounds Finn is hearing. It cuts to space and the pallet goes dark, then it cuts to a planet where we see women and children and hear the exact same screaming. As the planets explode it cuts back to Finn and the screams slowly fade out. Finn then SPRINTS back to the castle (remember, the falcon was pretty far away), and sees that people have essentially just started to come out of the castle. Remember how far away the falcon rested from the castle, so Finn was probably running for a minute or two before he even gets there. When he gets there no one is in panic, no one is running, no one is screaming, there are no children, there are almost 0 women, they are all curiously looking up at the sky. No one seems to be in disarray, they are all calm/curious and collected. Finn is extremely shaken up from the experience, you can hear it in his voice and see it on his face.
