I have read this book but I am wondering where did the Levaiathan come from? What was the evolutionary process for it come to be? Have you ever read The State by Franz Oppenheimer ?

Have you ever read Memoirs of a Superfluous Man by Albert J Nock? If so what are your thoughts? Do you think he was a INTP?

For a scientific school yeah but I wouldn't consider the goal of education is to merely learn instrumental knowledge. Perhaps this why the whole system and approach to education has gone down the drain. We went from teaching Latin and Greek to now having Common Core. If you don't understand why...

I always found it interesting that math is now taught first without teaching it's origins and logic. In the classical tradition of learning you would learn things like Euclid's Elements and the concepts related to the theorems, along with logic to have a more holistic understanding. Applied math...

I agree with your general idea about the dominant-inferior role. INTP seems like the ones who focus on projecting the bottom up approach for influencing society or ideas. This entails emphasizing independent thought, probing ideas and cultivating disinterested reasoning. So for other...

Not INFP?

Yeah although that argument is similar to, "If u think education system is shitty why do you teach at colleges? or "If you don't like the US government or think it is totalitarian why don't you leave the US".

INTJ, similar mannerisms as Peter Thiel who is a INTJ as well. I agree with QuickTwist he projects Te instead of Fe.

copywriting, direct marketing

It's funny because my older brother is a INTJ so you can imagine how that has played out. Pretty much.

Yeah he comes across more as a ENTP looking at his work and philosophy. He is in favor of "mixed markets" or rather government intervention so investing and money opportunities are more dynamic, makes sense for someone of his fame and net worth. Also sounds like someone who is less principled...

I find it interesting that humans are so keen on wanting to travel outside of earth while we still have a lot of ignorance when it comes to life here. Not saying traveling or colonizing is bad in itself, but it says a lot about the capacity of civilizations to just focus on exploiting it's...

I originally thought you were a INTJ, but I think you could be a ENTP. Both are N Doms but your posts and style give off heavy Ne and inferior Si vibe. If so try to develop Ti and integrate Fe more.

Yeah I think it is a TP thing in general especially ITP's. Ti dominant is usually composed then Fe inferior can come out. I have experienced problems with this but have gotten better through the years.

Very interesting. I identify more with trying to understand philosophical/social subtleties than anything technological. I enjoy the theoretical ideas surrounding technological processes but get bored quickly with anything related to implementation or static problem solving like you say.

Time to declare war! No, but intuitives IN's in particularly need to figure out ways to either ignore or not get effected by their actions. Also a lot of their actions result in certain things that we end up going along with out of necessity. I guess a lot of ideas in the world come from N's...

Freedom to think and pursue happiness

I can not see INTP's in the military unless forced to be. Military and warfare is for people who don't want to be productive or enjoy mindless control/order. INTP's probably fit the first part but not the second. ENTJ's and INTJ's are too smart to go into military intuitions in this day an age...

Similar to Marcus Aurelius even though he was probably a ISFJ.

Why do you want a career?

I could see how stoicism appeals to N's naturally more than others, especially IN's. What i was saying is how a developed SFJ could align itself with stoic thinking if they moved past the S details and superficial aspects, and focued on the big picture. I think this is possible, difficult...

Yeah your right it's just a tradition after all, although a very old and sophisticated one. SFJ's who have decided to dig deeper than the typical frameworks of organized religion I could see end up at stoicism through experience(Si). NFJ's on the other hand might follow it without much place on...

I could see developed SFJ's follow the moral framework of stoicism as well.

I always find it funny when Hitler and Nazis are romanticized as the worst outcome of a corrupt State. Sure the whole regime was a bunch of thugs like any other, but Stalin's regime was worse. FDR wasn't some hero either.

Reading a book that channels my thoughts in a "connective" manner, usually from the classics or some modern literature which have held on to that tradition. Anything that connects myself to culture. Music is one of them as well.

OK makes sense. I guess a Ti focused INTP would concern itself with establishing principles and structure, while a Ne focused would look at it more holistically establishing critiques or broad explanations. Compare A.J. Drenth to William James. Both interested in psychology, but James was all...

Was re-watching some Seinfeld and especially Curb and Larry David seems more like a ISTP than INTP which I originally thought. He doesn't go into ideas or intellectual topics like an INTP would, and a lot of his scenarios are Se based. For sure a Ti dom. Jim Parsons seems like an IXTJ to me...

This is like saying concepts don't exist, only objects. Which I guess could be true depending on your definition of existence. Energy is a concept, a forest is a concept, society is a concept, Trees exist, individuals exist, electromagnetics exist.

What do you consider as the distinction between science and humanities? You mention Immanuel Kant, he was a philosopher more than anything. Usually philosophy is in the realm of humanities. Science to me consists of the natural sciences (physics,biology), formal(math, comp sci) and...

Seems like ENTP's use Ti for establishing the patterns to focus on, so with this it concerns itself less with analysis on specifics but rather coming to a more whole picture of their possibilities. They are dominant extraverted intuitives so for them decisions are based on how it fits into their...

Have you considered that CS might not be something you are actually interested in?

A man is rich in proportion to the things he can afford to let alone.

They could be but the science isn't their yet and possibly might never be. Even the natural sciences have limited causality, we just accept them because they are good enough to predict outcomes. They can be overturn tomorrow if a better theory comes along. I think with human action there...

You can predict the future without software. Software just increases the processing power. Maybe natural phenomena based off of some probabilistic model, but I am not so sure human action can be predicted in the same light as it's based off of each actors value based judgements(free will) not...

Originating is mostly a fiction.

Read better books.

Yeah, I always wonder or get annoyed if I come off as serious or more Te based like a IXTJ due to my indifference to many things.

Translator/Interpreter

Yeah compared to STEM there is less work. Humanities is more about getting a education in the true sense of the word and becoming an individual than something practical based. Why pharmacology though? You could always be a writer or something.

I am a 5w4 and in general I prefer thinking about the "humanities" over the natural sciences. The thing with the natural sciences is that it assumes an ultimate given or causality for understanding truth. You can experiment with a chemical in a lab, identify it's composition and see how it...

I theorize mostly about social/political philosophy, and personality psychology. At times economics, education, epistemology, history, and technology. I wouldn't say I theorize about general psychology, because I find the personality branch more interesting and relevant. The scientific or more...

I think INTP's can get into team sports but their interest diminishes over time compared to ISTP's. With solo sports INTP's can probably sustain an interest but it wouldn't be as "serious" as a ISTP would approach it. Si vs Se seems to be a factor in the differences here.

Because it's not practical.

Yeah your right. I think what the OP and others are saying is whether technology is good or bad based off an utilitarian premise of it's advancement.

Yeah I thought the same. If I had to guess they wanted to separate themselves from Jung/MBTI, so they created the 4 groups and just focused on that.

The power struggle been a back and forth for the whole of human history, essentially a race. Certain periods have been more decentralized than others. When the Ancient Rome and Greek civilizations began it was fairly individual based with the advent of agriculture and as power became more...
