@Joshe, I think I am both INFP and INTP, if that makes sense.

@Joshe, the last two are more like me. As for the first one, comprehending stuff is really motivating to me, though I tend to experience deep internal feelings.

If you don't mind, may I ask you why? 🙂

I was an INFP the last time I did the test. However, I think I didn't answer some of the questions truthfully enough, or some things have changed that I think I would get a different result.

@Leo Gura It needs safe space to express itself like a melody that needs silence to be truly heard, someone to feel validated by like when parents just listen to their child without judgment, something bigger to surrender itself to like standing in a beautiful landscape that has no end, someplace to fit in like placing the last puzzle piece.

@Leo Gura, will it be about general matters in life? I am just guessing, but will it be about showing us that we live in a fantasy we do not understand and that we should abandon our desires and do what is needed and expected of us?

@zazen, I think you are oversimplifying too much. Community isn't and cannot be exclusive to the East, even if the West emphasizes the individual more. Yes, there are people who think the individual can exist without community, but they're ignoring the fact that individuality itself cannot be maintained without community. There are also people who think community can be sustained while ignoring individuality. Show me an Eastern country that has achieved more genuine harmony between community and individuality than the West. And if so, did it accomplish this without Western influence? Community isn't inherently better than individuality, and vice versa. What I think matters is the degree of truth, open-mindedness, honesty, and transparency present in a society.

Fixed it.

😦

Now the question is more clear. I can provide some attributes based on my observation. However, I don't actually know why it is how it is.

Well, you came up with it, so I thought you had a specific thing in mind. If you were to ask me, I would say that I imagine it more of a state of being.

@Leo Gura, are you imagining a single object that is all feminine things combined, that every person possesses a measurable portion of this object in varying amounts?

@Majed, the important context is that alcohol and those kinds of drugs are very addictive, which will most likely ruin your life, because you are not doing it just for understanding their effects. Is it worth it to risk your life for forming a serious addiction? You won't have profound experiences.

I experimented with wine because I wanted to understand and enjoy being in the state before getting too drunk. I would buy a bottle of wine each week for quite some time to do my experimentation. I was slowly drinking it and observing its influence. Then the desire to experiment eventually faded away, even if I enjoyed it, because there was nothing more that I would have learned. However, in my case, it could be that I can't get addicted to wine that easily. But if I were you, I would stay away from vodka or hard drugs.

@Leo Gura, when I first tripped, I accessed a dream-like state that was more of a dream than my dreams. At that state I didn't know how I came to be, but it hit me that I'm seriously alone. The experience was so transparent. I was saying like, shit, what have I been doing all this time? How could I be so stupid? The most magical moment in my entire life.

You conveniently ignored what I just said.

@Leo Gura, do you mean that I should apply that notion to everyone or everything? No. I used exactly the key word. It needs a man, but it is not exactly tied to women. To be honest, it is unclear how I should think it manifests.

Makes sense.

@Leo Gura, do you mean that I should apply that notion to everyone or everything?

I think you're intentionally not mentioning something else there.

@Leo Gura, I also get highly motivated by understanding stuff. But you instilled a love for truth in me. Thank you, even if you didn't intended to help me. I always forget how much time has passed when I watch your videos. To be able to look beyond the ideological and religious shit around me has been huge for me; you gave me perspective. To see people, from normal to intellectual, around me deeply and arrogantly lost in their epistemological and metaphysical BS is kind of a superpower. I loved the example you gave in one of your blog posts. It was something like the following: "Imagine what it would be like if everything around you was true, or you were surrounded by truth ..."

Of course they have some rights. However, just because they have fewer rights than men doesn't mean that men can't face harsh punishment. Are you seriously comparing the consequences men face for abusing women with the rights that women lack?

Yep, that's why it's stupid. To always have a strict way of wearing clothes so that you can respect your family. Much Christian stuff is also stupid. Well, that is nonsense. Sure, everyone is policed. I didn't say that women are being hunted at all times. I just pointed out the stupid thing that Muslims care about, which then influences how they make decisions. Muslims know so much that they have difficulty giving women rights and ignore sexuality and give the parents the full permission to dictate how their children should live? Maybe Muslims understand sexuality so much that they consider homosexuality as a sin. Are you so frustrated that a woman that you are attracted to will say no to you? You want to have it easy. You don't want it to be authentic attraction. That's not good. And I didn't say attraction is the highest value there is. Religions like to use that kind of talking to instill fear in people. Yeah, they have so many rights that they are happy to speak, but they just don't want to. I mean, they can believe that's the right way, but that means that they are brainwashed.

@Leo Gura, could you expand on that?

I'm not, but it is quite stupid. 😂 If you have ever been obedient to your parents, then you might see that as normal. Avoiding the thought of diverting from their plans is the fear. First of all, men aren't strictly covering themselves. Is galabeya a full cover that men are afraid to wear? However, women somehow should be strictly wearing some type of clothes and covering themselves. Women are policed on what they should wear. Men being attracted to women, why would they insist women to mostly cover up themselves? Think about it. And I'm saying that families making decisions is dumbing women's minds. She is treated like a child who doesn't know what she likes and wants, and ironically it becomes reality. Basically, little room for growth. Little room choosing who you find attractive. I mean, I don't have a problem if they feel better that way; however, it brings up a lot of problems later in life.
