That really doesn't make sense. They do recognise vaues-based vs. logic based (different thing from directive vs. adaptive, which corelates with J vs. P), but also many other dynamics and dichotomies, many in a form that the typecode nomenclature wouldn't comfortably accommodate. It's hardly...

Well, you can when you know, but the dichotomy-focus has done a lot to mislead a lot of people, and is actually just inaccurate. Why use inaccurate terms with baggage when you can use accurate ones without? That's just my thoughts and preference. Really not interested in a classic snafupants...

Re: Type Reading | Series Sure, and I actually agree with you on that. I'd say the emphasis of the output has been like that (for a number of reasons, some of which I explained in previous posts), but that, IME and IMO, the model itself and how it applies when you really get into it in your...

Re: Type Reading | Series Both. Whole configs (Nai'xyy fathers will often have Nai'xyy sons, who will often see very little of themselves in their fathers), but also close social alchemies. Mostly you get interpretive and literal families. When there is crossover, it's usually by some other...

Re: Type Reading | Series Sounds interesting, so sure.

Re: Type Reading | Series Off the top of my head, BigApplePi (I suspect), PheonixRising, possibly EditorOne, joal0503 (I suspect), Cryptonia (I suspect), Glovehead (I suspect), a few others. Text reads are rarely certain, but 'bubble' reading can actually work quite accurately without specific...

Re: Type Reading | Series Intuitives aren't actually meant to be rare except by MBTI test statistics, which represent what people want to be/think is the right answer as much as anything else. The HHH channel's activity was largely and explicitly directed at 'Typology Town', as it was called...

That's actually completely false. Pod'Lair's position is that individual 'bubbles', or social groupings, tend to consist of a highly concentrated mass of a very limited number of configurations. The reason for so many people being read as intuitives is that both typology-related and...

This might be true-- but that still wouldn't mean I was distracting from the point, would it? I was making the post I was making, which may or may not have indicated my disagreement with the tenability of reductionism as a position. If this was of interest, a further discussion about this could...

My original argument was clearly about the psychological aspects of needing to remove unpredictability from our understanding of the world. A deterministic system is one whose future states are entirely determined by past states. You said that 'a non-deterministic universe cannot be understood'...

I'd rather you proved it, actually, because I don't think I did back-pedal, do think you're taking the base assumption that I must be mystically wafty and wrong and stupid and 'subjectivist' and reasoning from there, and do think you're just riled because you're experiencing the consequences of...

@Duxwing Given that we're writing in a psychology forum, it's a little bizarre to describe psychological explanations as 'a distraction'. If my post were in response to a debate about the factual/argumentative strength of certain positions, then I agree that it would have been out of place. But...

Fairly sure you have, and are trying to save face. Poor show.

I didn't say she didn't understand it because NeFi is her config., or that her config. is explanatory of all of her behaviours or thoughts. You're having a bad day philosophically, Cog. You need to take a step back and realise that almost everything you're saying is addressing a figment of...

You're literally just writing nonsense, here. Your words would be as applicable to any random person in any forum who you deigned to attribute this position to and then proceeded to write at. It's your choice to express irrelevant idiocy, of course, but that's what it is until you identify my...

It would really help if you ascertained my position. None of what you're saying is either particularly relevant or particularly in contradiction to it. E and I are MBTI terms, not terms with much to do with what I understand as the cognitive configuration phenomenon. Ti/Zai, to me, is a...

You didn't even read what I wrote, did you? I explicitly stated that my position isn't the one you're critiquing here. Argument with me certainly is pointless if your don't read what I say...

This is, again, very sloppy thinking. That things can be classified trivially does not imply that any possible classification is trivial. For an example of this, the taxonomies by which we attempt to order phylogenetic trees and evolutionary species generation/splits/extinctions are far from...

That's what I said, is it? I was under the impression that I was taking the very conservative position that our objective knowledge, of which there is much, contains no evidence justifying either a) The inevitability of millenarian robot-transcendence to a somehow trans-subjective realm. or...

Agreed.

Well, I can't really engage with you if you refuse to allow me the possibility of being nuanced or arguing from premise to conclusion. And I wouldn't say posting in 2 threads, one about the flaws of MBTI and one by somebody I worked on a related project with about visual reading, is trying very...

Hey redbaron, That actually wasn't my argument at all , and I'm actually not angry at all. I meant what I said. Note that I didn't dismiss the possibility of valid and fundamental disagreement with aspects of how the configuration phenomenon has been presented. Or the aims of Auburn's project...

Well, sure. But that's not particularly relevant to what I'm saying. Sure, I was providing background history for the poster I was responding to, not claiming that your model was identical. That said, I would very much regard your project now as a continuation of the pre-group phase of PHY, and...

See, I think this desire for total 'objectivity' that so many Cognisant Auburn buy into is primarily a way of dealing with fear of the vastness and unconstrained unpredictability of our experience in this life. It's not that different-- as humans tend not to be that different-- from how our...

SpaceYeti I do think everybody is special, actually. Try seeing how one person trips versus another, or give everybody the huge amount of coaching in artistic output that somebody like Mozart or Beethoven had from a young age (interestingly, the main difference between the best known/most highly...

Well, I'm not sure my position is exactly the same as it was then, and I'm not sure it's accurate to say that I have faith in anything. What I do think is that the visual reading methods and certain of the formulations which originate with Pod'Lair have significantly more explanatory power in...

Copied from another thread for reference's sake...

@nightstreaking @Auburn and I ran the physiognomy.me project together for a few months, and I'm very familiar with his thinking. His visual reading is derived from Pod'Lair, and he would really do better to train harder on his source material before publishing his findings. That's not to say...

Yes, the MBTI test is flawed to the point of uselessness, and is more often inaccurate than accurate. That is irrelevant to the phenomenon it attempts to measure. Any clear thought about this would make the obvious inference that if the phenomenon is there and the instrument isn't working, then...

It's not about treating it less seriously, it's about treating it with more accuracy and less philosophical naivete. A more accurate rendering of the actual functional processes involved (i.e. Pod'Lair's, or those directly derived from Pod'Lair's) immediately renders the majority of the...

She's a NeFi, not INFP. Her understanding of the cognitive configuration phenomenon is certainly less than definitive. That said I do quite like her. She's just not a serious or relevant thinker at this point, given how little she understands the lay-of/frontrunners-in the field she's talking...

As I see it, TED talks are characterised by a superficial people-pleasing and brown-nosing of fashionable cultural memes. More often than not they lack substance or argumentative rigor, and, when they do contradict one another, very little interesting or serious dialectical exchange results from...

On another note, I would like to record a personal milestone. I made a beautiful girl (not the one you're thinking, intpf insiders!) squirt/orgasm several hundred times in a single night on Saturday. The love you see playing across a person's whole body, during this kind of experience, is one...

Assertions to explore: You will never die. You are an immortal consciousness choosing to play a game with itself, and if you want to end this one it doesn't really matter. The curious thing is that if you knew what I was saying, instead of only trying to believe it, you'd probably begin to find...

The dialogue, part 1: 8 said: 'Every individual is the world, the mind of God, experiencing itself. All heavy-footed sincerity, all suffering, is the most laughable ridiculousness. Liberation is the infliction of pain, the waking of the sleeper, the shattering of the dream. God must be made to...

Go away.

@Cherry Cola Actually, I'd rather score top in national exams, make discoveries and inventions and craft worlds of experience unlike any other, go hard and fast and being myself and... fly if I fly or crash if I crash. If I were a shizophrenic, I'd be far too interesting a schizophrenic to be...

2009 intimations tsk

unenlightened prole: Don't be a pig. Ascended Monster: A pig? Ascended Monster: wtf unenlightened prole: I'm glad she's doing better. unenlightened prole: I'm referring to the annoying bossiness. Which is hopefully meant in jest. unenlightened prole: Did she do any DMT? I've been curious about...

Sure, np. Will pm you the course.

If you send me a video I can tell you. Private if you want. Fastest way to settle the issue. Work was (is) going ok, thanks. Although, as usual, I got pulled into various creations on the side hard enough that it's a very tight balance. Currently trying to figure out some of the stuff on the...

One hunts, the other gathers. One adapts, the other directs. One is in the moment, the other chases itself across years. Try comparing Ni to Si, and Ne to Se, to get a sense of the way the reationship works. Ni is actually part of a structural compound with Si, as Ne is with Se. Ni is like an...

It's not that I wish things had gone differently, lor. I'm entirely convinced that we are already living in heaven, after all. It's just that I felt like you could do with being shook up a little.
