How would you (re)program your ideal INTP-self ?

I am playing around but if you could program your ideal INTP-self thru Ti Ne Si Fe, how would you do it ?
I start with a VERY VERY simplifyied "program"... Please give me some better ideas ?


1. STANDBY / TRIAGE MODE - Is individual / situation / statement "x" first and foremost logical and non self-contradictory (-Ti-) ?
If NO, then discard as emotionally charged individual / situation / statement and go back to standby / triage mode (1.), if YES, then continue (2.)

2. BRAINSTORMING MODE - What are the mediate possibilities / implications (-Ne-) ?

3. DATABANK MODE - Based on database of introspected and self-analyzed experiences / success / errors (-Si-), which possibility would be the most likely to occur or the most practical to implement ?

4. HUMAN EVOLUTION MODE - Finally, how could this possibility best benefit the betterment of mankind (-Fe-)?

No one wants to play my game ?

I can't say that I would like to be "programmed." I can see how an INTP could ascribe some degree of romance to the idea, but I think in reality it would separate us so far from the rest of the world that we would either be harnessed as thinking machines or shunned by society altogether.

But what the hell, it's a fun thing to think about.

My functions would work in the following manner:

Ti -

Primary operation - what is the fundamental cause of the input and its range of functions?

Auxiliary operation - standby mode; defer all input to Ne (AKA ENTP mode).

Ne -

Primary operation - what are alternatives/permutations of current input.

Auxiliary operation - narrow input to humorous application with emphasis on irony and double entendre's.

Si -

Has current input been encountered before? What actions were taken before? (assisted by Ne) what are correlations between current input and past situations, and what options are available?

Fe -

If current input triggers intense and unpleasant emotions, re-route processing responsibility to Ti.

Also, can current input enhance the well-being of others (what is emotional cost to self? [operation of Ti]), can it enhance my well-being? If opportunity is available, activate Ne as dominant function and engage to achieve an emotionally-charged (Fe) end with logical (Ti) means.

Then I'd be truckin'

I think the problem is that the rules of the game aren't clear. Are you saying to strengthen some functions and weaken others to improve ourselves, say the shadow functions? Or to use our functions differently? What exactly are you looking for?

If you jerk off in a corner, you have a whole minute of complete rational thinking. This is the best way to program yourself. So, you do your jerk of thang, and you're like, "hmm, I hate my fucking wife, gf, etc. why am I with this bitch?" obviously you'd think this after jerking off into a corner, because why else would you put up with this bitch. Some of you of course probably don't need to jerk off to come to this conclusion, but you can see how this is a great way to reprogram yourself and get rid of the unnecessary things in life. Lmfao

Thanks, great stuff. I love your Fe part:

I haven't looked into the acronyms, but I think to re-program yourself without your 'flaws' would suck. People need to struggle. I suppose I would prefer it if I could program myself to focus better, but if I didn't have that limiter, I fear what I might be capable of.
Even if we did have perfect responses, the world is too imperfect to appreciate it.

Uhhh....What?

I mean using our functions optimally so that we don't get caught into using functions in the wrong order... Or we don't get stuck too long into (over)doing one function to the detriment of another / the whole.

Maybe by perfecting ourselves first / faster we could perfect this imperfect world better / faster.
I know for a fact that if only my tertiary and inferior functions had evolved faster than they did, say 5 years ago, theres so much good i could have done around me ! Instead, out of ignorance, i did / said / thought bad things !

Being able to focus better (without being sidetracked) is certainly what id be happiest about. Then again, don't we, as INTPs, actually find thru being unfocussed what people with full focus won't find ?

Good is too subjective. You know what I would consider good? Eugenics I've spent a great deal of time thinking about what the world really 'needs' and it seems like what I would consider improvement would be considered 'evil' by a lot of people. Sometimes there just is no 'right' thing to say/do( even looking back on it latter).

It's all a matter of information but most importantly how it is communicated / mediated...
As INTPs, we value information very much, however in our younger years and because of our ultra sensitive inferior Fe, unless we're lucky enough to come across the right people / mediators at the right time, often we neglect the very type of information that could yet help us evolving early...
So the "bad" (entropy) is said / done / thought of because, sadly, the "good" (negentropy) that could have yet enlightened us was yet mediated by total assholes, therefore not rewarding !
