    What to make of people who say you are smart.

    people who tell me that i am smart are usually referring to the span of detached attention and the drive to be orderly in my expression. the structure of my mind. it's a synonym for introversion and sensitivity, which give birth to a abstractions that guard against a drowning in chaos, according...

    It's possible for an INFJ to be more skilled in Ti than an INTP

    what if you don't think of a function as a skill, but rather as a pleasure seeking principle. according to jung, the introverted function finds itself confronted with an overwhelmingly animated world. the reason for this impression is that the world has been animated through a powerful...

    INTPs and Suicide

    the core of your insanity is that you think that life is motivated solely by attachments to it. it is not. to the contrary, attachments are a break applied to life. and your fictitious non-existent "dead self" couldn't possibly be attached to a nonexistant future life, true dat. that's...

    INTPs and Suicide

    how is not knowing and not feeling anything relevant to your values? as a human being you want to know (be intimate with) and feel/experience things, therefore suicide is the opposite of what you want. if your lifestyle has become so empty of meaning and rewarding feelings, that it hurts, you...

    How does depression feel like in Fe vs Fi users

    Fe=Self Hate. The classic example of the loved family member(lover/best friend) who can't admit that they don't want to be part of this family(relationship/circle of friends), instead they act like they are so horrible that surely nobody in their family would want to have anything to do with...

    some more of my current thoughts about Fi

    as requested in a PM feeling is not originally about ethics, ethics is just a higher level product of feeling, like chocolate could be thought of as a product of sweet-tooth. feeling is essentially about motivation. if motivation exists relative to a given or imagined situation, it's...

    MBTI character typing and criminal tendencies

    as i hypothesize that sensors have as much disrespect for progressive possibilities (N) as i have for static matter and substance (S): how would they express it? there are what appears to be "mean" crimes to me. i often think of corruption as something that makes developmental growth of...

    MBTI character typing and criminal tendencies

    typical INFP crimes: graffiti, destroying status symbols like mercedes stars, shop-lifting music/videos/comic-books to support media based escapism, stealing food, low level marihuana dealing or buying, riding bikes without light, riding on the pedestrian lane, speeding a car etc. "offending"...

    INTP's shouldn't try to help people

    If you want to give good advice, focus more on Ne and reduce the Ti as much as possible. The problem is how subjectively invasive Ti is by nature. No Fe-effort towards presentation can make up for that. Perhaps try to fake Te, by ramping up Ne, limit your thinking to how the situation of the...

    Recent IQ Drop

    Recent IQ Drop

    I think hemi-sync is good for mediation and lucid dreaming or altered states of mind like visualisation, NLP, schamanism. but not for IQ tests. you can easily end up being in a trance for hours. if your brain is busy doing infinite loops of excercise A, it won't do well with exercise B.

    The Bad Guys Never Win: Bane

    batman got to beat up superman in frank millers 'the dark knight returns' (1986). i have had a paper copy of this graphic novel since childhood and it's why i really liked batman, despite what tim burton made out of him in those days. he doesn't exactly "win" in this book. he barely get's away.

    Several unconnected strands of thought seem to have one underlying explanation

    I believe it may be a deception if you think the deepest patterns tell you something about absolute reality. There is this odd quality about how the mind is a verb and yet it creates a reality that we perceive as given, like a complex object. Of which we are, or our separate self, as we know it...

    How do you feel about videos in which people die?

    this video is one of my favorites, it makes fun of how trigger happy human beings are when all they care about is their stupid ideas, or simply about how any human idea, when taken to manifestation in a very consequential manner, will probably cause suffering. it's a hilarious theme and a good...

    I try to never lie to myself.

    you don't have to care "about" others, you just may learn to care about caring for others, i mean, you may learn how to take care of others and you will care for doing that, because it's a fucking epic feeling to be of service, but you need to be in relationships to learn how to do this. i can...

    I try to never lie to myself.

    don't you avoid the possibility of being wrong a lot, with all those hopes about being the honest man? the whole thing (as i have worded it above) is difficult to explain if you can't say wholeheartedly: i don't trust my own stupid brain one bit, i might just be suffering from hallucinations...

    okay, gottcha. you mean you might be happier if you were to find out that you are wrong about how life works, if you were to find out, that there is a better way than your own, which is actually going to function as advertised. i can relate to this thought. just the way you put it into words is...

    Is suicide selfish?

    How does that even work? What idea of happiness do you have, that it is not synchronized with values? I am INFP, it's hard for me to understand!

    Is suicide selfish?

    anyone who does not allow for his thoughts to change is lying to himself, because change is the most essential truth of the human condition and personality is the biggest lie. staying in control is pretty much the same as lying, telling a story over and over again. the only way to stay...

    Is suicide selfish?

    Is suicide selfish?

    I think it's rather unethical to call services on anyone without asking them if they want services applied to them. If you can offer services, you may ask anyone, if they need it, not just those, who need it the most, according to your opinion. Society is not smart enough, to know how my life...

    The reason this forum scares me.

    I agree, we have little objective knowledge but all the more creative hallucinations, thus the issue is not one of knowing versus ignorance, but one of contributing versus consuming. If Ti is a subjective activity like sculpting or graffiti and you want to join a scene or team you need to be...

    Mental block with cognitive functions.

    MBTI system feels like a trap.

    MBTI system feels like a trap.

    How do you feel about protests?

    Although it's not possible to have an objective opinion on the motivation of other people (hundreds of them, strangers). My view is sort of a projection.

    I feel similar about most protesting. Until it's big like occupy, it's just a weird circle jerk for people who don't seem to realize that they are not in power. Because they are not a majority.
