I wish I thought of myself as adept at Fe. I always imagine masterful Fe engineering harmony and growth in a way that motives are never questionable - always only expanding others. My use of Fe is more formal than personal: I use it to map social dynamics, problems, and solutions instead of...

{Character limit -- extending functional form message.} Cognitive functions are pretty fluid; the two and three influences play out in other forms, but I imagine that'd be boring to read. {I admit this speculation comes from personal observation and experience; I may well be missing something...

Indeed, I believe we touched this idea on the INFJf in a thread about Ni-Ti loops. They are generally either constructive or destructive: safely propelling the self upward with sturdy scaffolding or demolishing the same. Regardless, it seems to me that the role of Fe in particular is critical...

You are most welcome.

Hey, fancy that! Me too. INFJf, while it has great people, tends to be too fluffy for my tastes; I've never been a very touchy-feeling INFJ, though. Indeed, we have the capacity to be perhaps the most detached and precise of the Feeler tribes because our Fe is book-ended by Ni and Ti on either...

Likewise! I have enjoyed my time here immensely, though I rarely contribute. The folks here are great for structuring and strengthening one's self. And not a little bit zany! Very different atmosphere from the other forum, to say the least. I'm glad to hear you like it ^.^

Perhaps, I'm hardly an expert. If that's the consensus of the wise, then I'll cede the point. That Dr. Nash used pure mathematics to revolutionize economic theory {if I remember right} may speak to a functional preference instead of one devoted to purity {Te/Ti}, so he could be an INTJ as easily...

The protagonists within Pi and A Beautiful Mind, while portraying severe mental disorder {schizophrenia}, mimic the ruthless truth-seeking, social ostracization, and logical elegance that I associate with the INTP tribe.

Eyedea and Abilities: Smile The Dive (This one is disjointed near the middle because the song is fused together where it was parts one and two.) Paradise Even shadows have shadows Birth of a Fish (This one goes hand-in-hand with Powdered Water, too.) Here for you

Greetings, Duxwing. Thank you for being patient with my inquiries into your work; observing from afar is different than observing from inside. Attunement to personality takes time, after which I should be able to put pieces together more fluidly and be more helpful. Until then, write on!

Ah, thank you for clarifying. I initially thought he wept because his friend was turned away due to bigoted patriotism ("his best friend's taking"), lamenting a needless loss, possibly wondering why something so stupid should cost so much. The eyes of children, innocents, see furthest at times...

@Duxwing It is interesting to read a creative work whose style differs so greatly from my own. I will be following this, if you don't mind.

@Duxwing You have a good mind and an urgent pen, by my estimation. Both are excellent qualities. As for the punch, I am an INFJ: everything I experience is interconnected, nothing about human nature stands alone. Hence, reading is a very visceral thing because of how all aspects work together...

Duxwing I am rushing, but here is a rough read. Each comment pertains to particular bulks of action, not necessarily what they are attached to. Well-written, to say the least. More will be forthcoming later.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-22VB-qF5Qw "Narcissist Code" by Rishloo Crown all the thieves and you worship the liars And bow down before every whore in a tie Lost to the end though the sun also rises And those who would dare bring the turn of the tide Arrogant serenity Falter on...

I read it twice, once backwards (2-->1) and once forwards (1-->2). One point of clarification: is it placed within a greater conflict (i.e, in medias res)? I did not know if the sparse background information and detail were intended - it feels slightly ungrounded, suspended in space.There are...

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky (all-time favorite) Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse The Brothers Karamazov, also by Dostoevsky Les Miserables by Victor Hugo Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig (next to CaP) Faust by Goethe Macbeth by Shakespeare (It's technically a...

Ourselves. We are bad at ourselves. In my experience, unity is a constant problem whose absence creates a lot of internal and external dissonance. As others have mentioned, integrity is our highest joy and, when in doubt, deepest lament. Pouring intention into action to produce a benevolent...

@Silphiums I see your point. I took an interpretive stance where you took the literal, and I agree with yours more in context. Both are valid though, I think; biological differentiation goes forward (change) and backwards (ancestries) -- divergent and convergent DNA brick walls, as it were...

Bahahaha! Thanks for pointing that out, self-deprecating irony = win. Imo, the psychological basis for supernatural belief would be more interesting than whether such belief is valid. Did the forum get haxxed, by the way?

Hahahaha! I really don't know what you're talking about. I'm a poor fool, a second-hand miser! It may be better to combine our neurons into some freakish Frankensteinian amalgamation ^.^

Thank you for the welcome. Oh, I wasn't knocking Darwin at all, the man was brilliant and world-changing. "The Origin of Species" implies a beginning point for all life that was never discussed (rightfully so at the time). Accordingly, I was amused that the title of such an influential book -...

Your analogy is slightly vague to me. The details of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem are foggy, I read that book two years ago. 1) If there are more true statements than provable statements, then I could interpret it as being called verbose. 2) If you refer to qualitate vs. quantitative...

Thank you for the welcome, Fukyo and catatonic. Most of what I have to say is metaphoric and psychological, not very well suited for the heated technical debates that seem popular here. Perhaps I will contribute more when I have acquired a little more knowledge. My academic background is...

Greetings INTPf. Traveling INFJ here. The forum dedicated to us, despite its fluffy appearance, is sparsely decorated. That may be a function of forums in general though, as they are like campfires: places for people to come and gather, sharing their tales and getting some in return, before...
