Rare time or I'll contemplate a podcast beyond spirituality. So, beyond Jiang projections what your views on most of those topic. Collapse or Not collapse ? I asked AI to resume the 10 point from the transcript.

I've tested as lots of different types over the years, INTP, ENTP, ISTP, INFP, INFJ. I think INTP is probably the most accurate. Cognitive function wise, Ne, Ti, Se, Ni, are the ones I feel strongest in. Si, Te were the ones I struggled with the most until I got medicated for ADHD. Now I don't find them nearly as challenging, although I still wouldn't call them strengths. I somewhat dislike that cognitive functions and the MBTI types are treated as a linked system. They seem like two totally disconnected systems to me. I think MBTI has value as a simple 4 dimension test of I vs E, S vs N, T vs F, J vs P, comparable to The Big 5, but I don't really see how you can deduce anything accurate about someone's cognitive function preferences from those dimensions. Vice versa, someone could have Ni, Si, Ti, Fi as their strongest functions and that just doesn't map to an MBTI type cleanly at all. I think these are best thought of as two different systems.

Overall to each what they value and what they can bring, and leo deserve some cash for all his work even beyond the LP. -
It was a decent demonstration of something which comes to me effortlessly (the cognitive sorting and making-sense process), and also something I would not normally be assed to do (writing it out). Sorting it mentally takes me about as much time and effort as it takes to read it and make basic sense of it (let's just say a minute or so because I'm a fast read) and about 10ish to mark it up and explain what it means, but I don't inherently find this aspect of my own thinking that interesting, rewarding, or fun. It's just another tool like a wrench or a screwdriver. I'm not so enamoured with it that I think I AM the wrench... I get that. I think you need some sort of accountability process with yourself where you occasionally ask yourself not just if you are capable of introspecting correctly (both perceiving and interpreting), but if you have the emotional drive to be honest enough with yourself. (Although I suspect that with INTJ types, honesty with oneself is NOT an issue or relatively minimal!) I've spent a lot of time in non-native environments around non-native people, both being forced and choosing to adapt to them (but often not the other way around). I've also done a ton of shadow work and a lot of journaling across my lifetime, and have spent a lot of time and energy trying to even myself out. A good example is how weak my Se function is naturally is that I was very, very unathletic as a child (without having a visible disability or physical illness), have always contended with the intensity of sensory sensitivities, and I even physically developed slower than my peers. It was like my body decided to dump ALL of its stat points into "higher" traits like intelligence/ willpower/ wisdom and I was a glass cannon of a human being for a while until I could grind my other stats lol. I have very heavily compensated for this starting in my mid-to-late teens and now I would legitimately be considered very athletic, but I am heavily constrained by working with my intrinsic physical weaknesses and limits (e.g. hypermobility). I value this more because I worked very hard for it, and equally I get bored of things that come to me too easily if I'm just doing it for my own amusement and exploration (rather than to serving a higher purpose). I've got that appetite for novelty and I NEED genuine challenge or else I feel like a miserable shell of a person. Otherwise, I would probably still be closer my childhood self, having my """super deep thoughts""" but then walking into a door or wall because I stopped noticing it was there again, or tripping over literally nothing and rolling onto my ankle, ****just because****. The stack chart is very helpful, thanks! I'll be mulling over it and making sense of it over the next week or so. Hopefully I'll be much more literate at reading these stacks by then.

@Max1993 reality is an infinite mind. Because this Mind is infinite, its total / absolute. This means its everything. Notice that there can only be 1 everything. Because if there was something outside of everything it wouldnt be everything. This also means that any difference between anything is a relative imagined distinction. Because from the absolute pov the substance of everything is mind. Now you can deconstruct every aspect of experience until all that remains is pure conciousness. Conciousness devoid of any quality or substance. Along with that realization you will also realize there is no difference between something and nothing. You will also realize there never was a human self / body/ mind. Because again these are all imaginary distinctions that collapse. Now pertaining back to your question. From the absolute awakened pov, there is no difference between a nightly dream character or day dreamed character and yourself. They are all just as imaginary. Whatever Conciousness is consciously imagining is the only thing that exists. So if you imagine a day dream character isnt "real" that is true. If you imagine a night time character is real that becomes true. Because you are imagining everything and everyone NO ONE not even Leo can answer the question of what is real. Because everyone and their answers are second order to your mind and imaginary process. Their answers are something you creating. Its your dream, unlock the door to infinity and dream the best dream possible. We are dealing with the actuality of being able to imagine anything. -
Good question. I don't think of myself as an INFJ most of the time.

Lol in this last case “predator" means the possibility of reproduction, not the possibility of being killed and prevented from reproducing. That's the most dishonest reasoning I've ever seen.

Goddamn! 😭 this was so cringe I died of secondhand shame for our neighbors. This is why we keep our borders closed.

Before the end of the year I'm looking forward to the following: HBO Harry Potter Digger Dune 3 Primetime Other Mommy Upcoming Hunger Games Film *Note on my choices: I like movies that entertain and are bigger than life so yes, my choices are often these type of fantasy adventure & action films. Horror movies are also great but usually most are shitty. Maybe one or two good horror films released every year.

@Natasha Tori Maru This dude is funny

It's all good!

Resident evil film my op: mid. Had some cool scenes. Nothing revolutionary though. Maybe if I was a gamer I'd enjoy it more for all the missed refrences from the games.
-
I love this. It is out there but it is creative and interesting. I would try this!

Lol yeah that was definitely a hallucination moment. Some of your rebuttals are off base though. There are still plenty of trade barriers currently hurting our GDP to the tune of tens of billions annually. The Canadian Free Trade Agreement ameliorated some of it, but the friction is definitely not resolved. Carney didn't just inherit these policies in a vacuum, he has been Prime Minister since early 2025 and actively chairs the government defending them. More importantly, Washington doesn't negotiate with individual personalities; it negotiates with the Canadian state. Whether an unforced error like the Digital Services Tax or billions in reactive EV subsidies was passed under Trudeau or retained under Carney, it is Carney's administration that has to defend the balance sheet and bear the retaliatory cost at the CUSMA table today. -

Nightly dream characters might be real. Mic drop. People with dissociative identity disorder report having different alters being present as dream characters in the same dream, and afterwards, each alter reports experiencing that dream from different perspectives (the alters report this when the person is awake and they're currently in control of the person). Who knows whether any dream character is just such a dissociated alter? -
@eos_nyxia Yes, people have mentioned this to me before. Doesn't affect me in the least, honestly I feel incredibly healthy and full of energy eating like this.

@Joseph Maynor does life get better with age as an INFJ . or does it get worse

You might be over thinking this, not to be rude.

This is the most Ti thing I've seen all week, lol. That split-column comparison I posted was just meant to be pointers. It's difficult to type yourself without some serious observation and study because what you'll tend to do is ask "which sounds best?" or "what makes the most sense?" instead of "what does my mind actually do?" Everyone can use all 8 functions. The first two functions are the most native and effortless for us. I would imagine gifted people would generally be more competent across the board, depending on how often they exercise the specific functions. INTP function stack Each type spends the majority of their time in their dominant and auxiliary functions. The lower you go, the more difficult things get, generally. It can be the case that someone's job or lifestyle forces a non-native function to operate often and they get good at that function, but if you spend the majority of your time in Ti, you're building really strong Ti while neglecting the others. Notice Se and Fi are the least exercised functions of the INTP. If you research all the functions and if those two seem most repulsive or non-native to you, that's a strong sign. The dominant function isn't a preference - it's your default mode and you don't even know you're doing it. What you have to suppress is native. What you have to do deliberately isn't. You build castles natively. That's an INTP thing that you've put a check on. Most people don't have to put a check on that because they just don't do it. Of course, traits from Big 5 and other models can also explain things. And things like high need for cognition, giftedness, etc., but I have high need for cognition and I'm gifted-lite, and I never cared to build castles for the fun of it. I do a ton of intellectual work but it looks totally different than the work of an INTP. If you could observe the Obsidian vaults of the 10 INTPs and 10 INTJs, you'd see a clear difference, which the model predicts. I can't really prove the model, but hopefully this makes some sense.

You are seriously asking?
