Let's see.Intellectual capacity: INTPs are quick at understanding things. How does such happen? Ne branches out rapidly over different pieces of data closely followed by Ti (processing it). When Ti spots a logical inconsistency, Ne stops exploring and suggests another alternative (a theory which has not been backed up by reality enough to be called facts) and continues to move along that course. This way, INTPs can cover a large amount of data in a relatively short amount of time. And if the data is very large, we categorize first.Knowledge hubs: Intellectual stimulation is constant. We're constantly exploring via Ne, processing through Ti and storing the extracted logic in our under appreciated hard disk, Si. We may not be able to recall facts, dates or numbers like Si-doms and Si-aux but when when we're really interested in something, we know it like the back of our hands and it sticks with us for a very long time. Not even INTJs come as close when it comes to that depth of learning - what INTJs call answers, INTPs call questions.Charming: INTPs maybe regarded as blunt and tactless and sometimes I agree, because I just don't see any reason to hide truth for the sake of your feelings. But if what I'm about to say is ‘unnecessary’ and will stir up conflict, unlike the INTJ, an INTP would just keep it to him/herself.Also, INTPs with a healthy Fe are more considerate towards the needs of others and polite - in fact, INTPs will find it hard to say no to a polite request but will automatically rebel if forced to do it (don't push us to the wall. You will most likely not get anything out of it). But over all, healthy INTPs are amiable and generally well-liked.Detached: We hate bias. And what's even worse is when there is evidence against that bias. We are similar to ENTPs in that we both play devil's advocate and while we do it for fun, we also do it instinctively when people are so cocksure of themselves like no argument can stand against theirs (and then we present one). That's why ENTPs are known as the debaters (we're on the quieter side). So bring your arguments. Except you're illogical or so confident in your bias, you're warmly welcome.Unconventional: We don't give two hoots about the world because its rules and policies seek to tightly control every aspect of our lives. While INTJs criticize the rules, INTPs question them. If they don't get in our way of living and they don't micromanage us, good. Let those who need the rules use them to find their way. And that's why we don't care. We choose not to let the rules apply to us because we don't need them. As long as the internal order we seek is established, whatever comes next is secondary.

Dear Homo Sapiens and all readersA study showed that Greece in general had 89% ancient Greek DNA and Albania 84%.This is not only because of admixtures between Macedonian Greeks and Epirotans and (Illyrians) that some people want to show, (which is true to a certain extent) but because Albanians are a chunk of Hellenism, as Southern Italians and as a lot of Anatolians (Asia Minor).For me the fact that both peoples have the same DNA ( not similar) comes as a blessing from God to verify the history of our peoplesThe problem for me is that Ottomans messed up our people and communism through Hoxha hid the truth from the Albanian people and tried to make them, into something else.At this point i want to provide a lengthy answer with a lot of historical documents, so it will take some time for you to read or study, but i hope it will convince you for the truth of the matter, as we talk here with arguments that are historically documented and is not an opinion of someone but contains historic academic proof.My answer wants to bring our people together in proper understanding of past history and don't want to divide whatsoever.Vlassis Gabrielides founder of a major newspaper "Akropolis" said: "The Greeks are Albanians and the Albanians are Greeks."An excellent book to read , you will understand a lot.This is in Greek of course but the Gheg Hakif Pasa highlites in the whole book the Union of Greeks and Albanians, in one country as they are the same people.In this book again in Greek ...it says if Ghegaria a bastion of Hellenism will fall to Slavs (kossovo Albanians) Greece will be in great danger.Let me tell you that the bibliography in Greek and German is very very lenghty, so here i provide you a sample of some documents and excerpts.Jacob Spon (1647-1685) was a French Calvinist physician and archaeologist from Lyon. In 1675-1676, together with the British clergyman Sir George Wheler (1650-1723), he undertook a trip to Greece, Constantinople and the Levant to visit the ruins of the ancient world. The journey was documented in his much-read volume “Voyage d’Italie, de Dalmatie, de Grèce, et du Levant, fait aux années 1675 et 1676” (Voyage to Italy, Dalmatia, Greece and the Levant in the Years 1675 and 1676), Lyon 1678, reprinted in The Hague in 1724. In it, he reports on what he saw while sailing down the coast of Albania Near Sazan we could see the Acroceraunian Mountains that are now called the mountains of Chimera [Himara]. Along the outer coast, they are populated by five or six villages that resist the Turks and refuse to pay haraç, the head tax. The foremost of these villages is Himara, situated on a rocky promontory to which the whole population can retire in case of need. What is more, if anyone wanted to attack them from the sea, they could withdraw into their mountains that are virtually inaccessible and could take their flocks with them. If they were to be attacked by land, there are passages that are so narrow that they could drive off an army by pelting it with stones. They make good soldiers and follow the Greek faith, and like the Mainots, they are very good at pillaging. They stem from the Macedonians, as the Mainots stem from the Lacedaemonians, two equally warlike peoples. They have a good port called Porto Panormo but few ships dare to stop there because it is said that they sell Muslims to the Christians and Christians to the Muslims. As to their religion, they are subjects of the Metropolitan of Janina which is a large city two days away. From here, we began to enter Greece which gave us as much pleasure as it had once given Aeneas pain when he passed hrough this region, as he considered the Greeks the destroyers of his country Excerpt from: Jacob Spon & George Wheler, Voyage d’Italie, de Dalmatie, de Grèce, et du Levant, fait aux années 1675 et 1676 (The Hague: Rutgert Alberts 1724), vol. 1, p. 69-71This is one of the oldest if not the oldest document that mentions Albania. This proves all Albanians were at that time Orthodox Christians. Albania was considered a province, never existed as a country before,ig..(Like Macedonia for example) Albanians are entirely like the Greeks in dress and manner.( So fustanella is a Greek thing and the white Albanian cap, is a Greek thing too, both of our peoples were dressed the same).The way someone was dressed at that time shows two things 1.Social status, 2.Origins and backroundTwo Irish travellers in Albania, in: Albanien in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Internationales Symposium der Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft..., Munich 1991, p. 24-27. Narratives of pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land provide a primary source of information for much of the eastern Mediterranean in the first half of the second millennium, and in one such narrative (1) dating from the year 1322. And then after spending a few days, we passed through the city of Ulcinj, which belongs to the king of Rascia (2), and sailed to Durrës, a city once famous and mighty by land and sea, subject to the emperor of the Greeks but now belonging to the prince of Romania (3), the brother of the aforementioned king of Jerusalem (4), (this city) being in the province of Albania. It should be noted that Albania is a province between Slavonia (5) and Romania, having a language of its own and which the aforementioned schismatic King of Rascia has subjected to his rule. For the Albanians themselves are schismatics, using the rites of the Greeks and are entirely like them in their dress and manner. For like the Greeks, they rarely if ever wear the cowl, but rather a white hat lowered almost flat to the front and raised at the back so that their hair, the length and beauty of which they are extremely proud, may appear more attractive to the eyes of the beholder. And then, taking advantage of favourable winds, we continued on to Vlora, a fortress of the Emperor of the Greeks, and to the island of Corfu on which there is a city called Corfu belonging to the aforementioned King of Jerusalem, this place being two hundred miles from DurrësThis is the situation in Albania in 1890 ,65 years after the creation of the Greek state.Victor Bérard (1864-1931) was a French classicist and political figure from Morez in the Jura mountain,The following excerpts from this journey from Durrës through Kavaja, Peqin and Elbasan are taken from his first book, “La Turquie et l’hellénisme contemporain” [Turkey and Contemporary Hellenism], Paris 1893 Arrival in Durrës Durrës is a strange mixture of Turkish buildings and Italian shops amidst Frankish and Byzantine battlements. It seemed as if the Turks had arrived in this Venetian town yesterday. Up near the domed mosque, the mutessarif had built himself a huge palace, an earthen and wooden konak. The stairwells and halls were buzzing with supplicants, high-turbaned imams, veiled women and ragged policemen. Soldiers were cooking or making coffee in the courtyard. Prisoners stretched their heavily chained arms through wooden bars, begging for cigarettes. Orthodox priests were arguing in Greek. Artillerymen were moving around an old bronze cannon. Everyone was at home here. This is what I imagined a prefecture must be like in a country of paternal tyranny. Hellenism recruits its partisans from among the Orthodox Albanians and the Kutzovlachs. The town itself may be Italian, but the suburb is Greek. Greek is spoken in all the cafés here and the walls of shops are plastered in portraits of King George I and his minister, Mr Tricoupis. Under the plane trees, groups of drinkers in fustanellas sing melancholic Aegean songs with their guitars. It was in Exo Bazari, far from the “macaronadis,” that our Albanians found lodgings for us worthy men in a han (inn) that was less comfortable than the Italian inns but more Christian, i.e. Orthodox. For the Greeks, christianos always means Greek Orthodox. A Kutzovlach caravan arrived from Monastir [Bitola] after a seven-day journey. These Kutzovlachs (lame Vlachs) are a people of Latin origin that Pouqueville, towards the end of the last century, placed as coming from the two slopes of the Pindus Mountains, between Larissa and Janina. All business in southern Albania was in their hands at that time. From Voskopoja [Moschopolis] near Korça, Syrrakou, Kalarrytais, Mezzovo and Larissa, centres of the Anovlachs, they spread throughout the country, selling the products of their labour – hides, leather, silverwork, capes, felt hats and carpets, or the merchandise they received from their branch offices in Leghorn, Vienna and Amsterdam. Durrës was their natural port for contacts with Ancona, Dubrovnik [Ragusa] and Venice. Following the Greek Revolution, the Vlachs, who called themselves Greeks and who had fought for freedom with their money and blood, emigrated in great numbers to the new Kingdom of Greece and were scattered. The towns of the Pindus range thus lost their role and importance. Elbasan The Christian community in Elbasan is a lost beacon of Hellenism in the north. All the Albanians understand Greek and almost all of them speak it. They have a Greek school for boys and a Greek school for girls. They call themselves Greeks, but there is no revolutionary Hellenism in them. Their political objectives are limited to reducing taxes, and to restoring just and good administration. They are and remain faithful subjects of the Sultan whose portrait hangs in a prominent place on the wall among the crowned congress of Europe, just under the holy icons, and between the king and queen of Greece. They regarded Epirus as their country, and that Pyrrhus the Greek was their ancestor. Their wretched fathers, in their ignorance, had led lives of misery, but they wanted get closer and closer to light, to civilisation and to Hellenism. And they did what they said. This year, they sent two of their sons to the University of Athens, one to study philology and become school director, and the other to study medicine and save them from the witch doctors among the monks and dervishes. The cleanliness of the shops and the good width of the streets surprised us somewhat. We almost thought we were in one of the towns of Greece, in Patras, Piraeus or Tripolis, with their straight streets and perpendicular, parallel avenues. We congratulated the prefect on this. Despite all of his zeal, his administration was, however, not at the origin of this cleanliness. It was fire that had done the trick, in 1877, 1880 and 1882. But the Turkish authorities and fire most often work hand in hand, as almost everyone in Albania believed. Following a fire, the authorities had the right to confiscate a pickaxe length of land from landowners, to build new roads. A good fire spared legal battles and much money, and the prefects made good use of this ally to clear the land. […] The Vlach quarter is right beside this verdant temple. The Vlach colony of Elbasan, like that of Peqin, is a hub on the Vlach trade route between the Pindus Mountains and Durrës. The Vlachs have their own church, their language and their schools. They live and marry amongst themselves. But their church was constructed in the same style as the Albanian church. Their clergy is Greek, and their liturgy is held in Greek. Even the flagstones in their cemetery are written mostly in Greek. In their two schools, for girls and boys, instruction is given in Greek. They themselves speak Vlach in their quarter but Greek or Albanian in the bazaar. They also send their students to the University of Athens. In short, they regard themselves as Greeks.Another proof that at the time 16th century that everyone and foreigners were thinking that Albanians stem from the Macedonians, which means other people were considering them Greeks.[excerpt from: Sebastian Franck, Weltbuch: spiegel vnd bildtnis des gantzen Erdtbodens, von Sebastiano Franco Wördensi in vier bücher, nämlich in Asiam, Aphricam, Europam vnd Americam gestelt (Ulm 1542), pp. 89r-90v. With the kind assistance of Xhavit Muslija (Rothenthurm, Switzerland) People in Albania are born with white hair for it is a cold region facing Asia. This country has such huge stray dogs that they can attack and slay wild bulls and elephants. Concerning this, read Pliny, Book 8, and Isidore, Book 9. These people have colourfully painted, bright eyes such that they can see better by night than by day. Solinus was amazed at this. Albania was more or less a part of Macedonia and belonged to it. In it are situated the famed cities of Didrachium [Durrachium = Durrës] and Apollonia.Kostas Mpiris in his book "Arvanites. The Dorians of modern Hellenism "(p. 361) presents a letter of 1847 of Albanians Muslims Tosks to Otto, his government and the Greek Parliament. With this letter Albanians beg the highest state authorities of the Free Greek State to be recognized as Greeks. Albanian Muslims wanted to join the free Greek state.The Tosks inhabiting Lower Albania, in the sandjaks of Avlona and Berat, and the Tchames and Liaps of the sandjaks of Delvina and Joannina, designate their country Tchamouria and Liapouria. These latter are supposed to be direct descendants of ancient Hellenes, as they speak the Greek language with greater purity than the rest; and certainly some of their characteristic features bear a great resemblance to those of the ancient Greeks. All the Albanians of Epirus use the Greek language, and are more conversant with it than with Turkish, which in some places is not spoken at all."Janet Blunt: The People of Turkey, Twenty Years’ Residence among Bulgarians, Greeks, Albanians, Turks and Armenians, by a Consul’s Daughter and Wife.

Another lesson we can learn from historical documents is that when He and his fighters moved to Italy they joined the Greeks of 'Magna Crecia' and they became one. They joined Greek churches and they were speaking Greek and Albanian. Obviously they could join other ethnic communities if they were feeling something else, but they joined the Greeks. They knew that Albanians and Greeks are the same stock. They even started Greek schools in Venice and other places, and i mean the so called 'Arberesh', not the other Greeks that were there before. It is funny how modern Italians wanted to change the things because they wanted Albania to be their protectorate. Mussolini during the 2nd WW changed the main plaza of Palermo from "Piazza dei Greci" to "Piazza degli Albanesi".Seven times not one but seven, both peoples tried to unite since 1800s but the superpowers of time didn't let us ( they wanted small states...divide and conquer....ancient technique)The last time was by Balli Kombetar in 1944 where all authorities, political, religious, muslims and christians want to unite with their Greek brothers, but unfortunately Hoxha and the communists prevailed and we know what happened.Enclosing it is not only the dna that proves the Hellenicity of Albanian people but mostly is history, that different circles try to destort.

Austin is the most exciting startup community in the world.That’s a claim made with a degree of frequently lately and it begs the question: why? Does Austin live up to that title when, frankly still, most of the venture capital remains in Silicon Valley, the NE region, with Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and more, remain the United States’ most important economic hub, and other cities are developing entrepreneurs at as healthy a rate or greater?The reason for the exuberance of Austin, and the startups with which you might think, lies in the context of regional economies.Late last year it was reported that the University of Texas, the largest school system throughout Texas, took the title position as the school producing the most tech talented graduates. The immigration patterns of the U.S. have people moving from the coasts (both coasts) at a rate unseen since the migration to N. California's tech community in the nineties. As a socially liberal city at the center of a fiscally conservative state, Austin is driving ideas, innovation, and entrepreneurship at the heart of one of the largest, healthiest, and business friendly economies of the world. All of those examples of significance reflect Austin’s growing impact on our economy and the potential of the region and the role Austin plays therein.When you ask what’s interesting about Austin entrepreneurship, I think that’s the lens you want to apply to the question.Why Austin?I wrote a surprisingly popular thesis on that question last year: Austin is Where Tech Comes to Life. The point, then and now, is that we should look to Austin as it pertains to how technology is shifting from frameworks and infrastructure to industry convergences.Any successful startup is ultimately driven not by customer validation but market demand. While we like to consider our world an increasingly global economy, entrepreneurship still starts locally and then gains traction as a result of supporting partnerships, regional industry, familiar media, and surrounding demand. That is, what drove the economy of Silicon Valley for the last 25 years was the establishment of the internet, and then mobile technology, driving a regional market for our economy’s new frameworks and infrastructure: operating systems, commerce engines, search engines, and social networks (roughly in that order). The experiences with and demand for the internet, by the surrounding region, fostered further innovation, funding, and acceleration of those technologies because of the experiences of predecessor companies and investors. One beget the other.So why is that important in the context of Austin? The words I used, shifting, immigration, regional industry, etc. mean that the future of innovation is shifting; Austin is potential and thus, the exuberance for Austin’s startup community. Austin is at the heart of the market for future innovation.Having established the operating systems and search engines by way of the internet, other industries are embracing technology and Texas is home to the largest market for most of where technology is heading.What are the significant industries that have yet to really be transformed?Education - We’re seeing online education but the industry has yet to significantly changeMedia - Though LA and Silicon Valley fight over itReal Estate - Yes, real estate, 14% of the Texas market making it second only to Oil & Gas in significanceHuman Resources - What do all these people moving to Austin do?Energy - Need I explain?Transportation - Underserved by rail, mass transit, and with major cities exploding, Texas must innovate the way we moveHealthcare and Biotech - What happens when Austin is at the center of 3 of the largest cities in the U.S.?Think about it, almost every major discussion of our future economy centers around those spaces and it’s therein that Texas comprises a significant portion of the existing consumer, corporate, and even government attention on innovation.So, what are the most interesting startups in Austin?In Education, applying predictive analytics to college counseling is Civitas Learning, AcademicWorks is working in scholarship management and donor relations, Querium is developing mobile learning for STEM skills and on the job training, Aceable is developing education safety software, and leading us to my next suggestion about looking at Media, we have Picardy Learning and SproutBeat teaching people how to play…Music that is. Austin is Music & Tech so more than Picardy and SproutBeat, I could refer you to the dozens of companies driving forward Austin’s music community and passion for live music; instead, a few: Everfest, Playola, and Remidi come to mind but I want you think in terms of other forms of entertainment. The Texas economy is driving film, advertising, PR, and more,second only to their coastal hubs. TrendKite is transforming the way we work in Public Relations and companies like Spredfast are making the Social Graph meaningful to businesses.With all that immigration and enough land to keep developing for centuries, the technology of Silicon Valley built things like Zillow but it’s Austin where real estate is being reborn. RealMassive, SmartTouch Interactive, Kasita, Renew Energy, Aldea, Modernize, Balanced Development, AuntBertha, and IdealSpot are just a few of the new technologies making real estate tech meaningful.And it should come as no surprise that that such growth is driving demand for innovation in recruiting, hiring, and placement. ROIKOI and TalentObjects immediately come to mind.Energy is right at home here given the proximity to Houston’s Shell, BP, and other related venture capital sources, as well as Austin Technology Incubator’s focus on Smart Cities, water, and other energy related innovation. We have some overlap in the context of real estate wherein I already mentioned Balanced Development and Renew; DrillingInfo, Smart Home Hero, and Accend are a couple more worth a look.Spend a few days in Austin and you’ll appreciate why I put the future of transportation innovation here. Where other major cities have freeways and mass transit, Austin frankly hasn’t kept up with it’s growth and that “problem” is resulting in innovation. Bliss Transit is looking at commute as a service, Guadaloop finds a brilliant team of UT Engineers looking to practical application of the Hyperloop concepts, and uShip continues to reinvent our shipping industry with RiskPulse and Nuve also in the space, evidence of my point about industry convergence driving (pun intended) great innovation. We even have things like The Zebra rethinking auto insurance.And finally healthcare and biotech and I want you to still think regionally as though Texas isn’t known as a hub of respective innovation, San Antonio and Houston are home to two of the largest medical communities in the country and with Seton Hospital’s innovation work and Dell Medical investing heavily in Austin, the Texas market is bringing about innovation in health. Unaliwear, Televero Health, ePatientFinder, MI7, Atlas Wearables, Afoundria, Humm Systems, ESO Solutions, Rallyhood, and even in pet care, Embark Veterinary. EverlyWell just moved to Austin.Then of course, we can think entirely outside the box to companies like AngelSpan, PeoplePattern, Firefly Systems… all though examples of what makes sense being in Texas: investment, people, space.End of the day, the only other industry that strikes me as ripe for Texas based disruption is politics. I’m sure some enterprising entrepreneurs are looking at Austin, Texas, or even Federal politics and thinking, “we have to do something about this.”Bottom line, look to Austin to help us realize the implication of technology on the industries that that really mean something to us, shifting innovation from devices and connectivity to how we learn, live, move, and work.
