He thought it was very important to snuff out the I-Thought.

Another thing to be careful of is how you interpret the Inferior Function in your type, which is a really poor choice of term because your inferior function is your 4th Cognitive Function for your type. This is still a strength for you compared to the 4 Shadow Functions you have, which are the 4 cognitive functions not present at all for your type. Eg., for me as an INFJ Se is my Inferior Function, which is in my type -- although harder to access -- but still there. However these cognitive functions are in my shadow: Ne, Fi, Te, and Si.

And I still haven't done this, but I have started other businesses and know what they require. But I am still doing what you are all doing myself.

In this area, I tend to think theory is mostly overrated and a distraction. I'm assuming you know what your career life purpose is already and now you want to turn that into a business. You are clear about what you want to do, but you cannot turn it into a successful business -- which requires you are getting paid money sufficiently to make a living ideally off just doing that. This is when passion becomes a business question. If you can't turn it into a successful business, the career life purpose is not met. We need to be clear about these kinds of distinctions IMO.

Actually doing it is the test though.

There are two variables for career life purpose IMO -- (1) Talent up to a standard where someone wants to give you money for what you have to offer + (2) Actually hanging a shingle aka marketing yourself effectively so you develop a following who wants to give you their money. Both of these are likely to need refinement. So even if you are following your passion at the higher level, at the practical level you still have to satisfy requirements where you might be pushed way outside of your comfort-zone to satisfy for success.

It implies I don't have to change and I should be able to make a living being exactly as I am, this can be a problem.

The tertiary cognitive function makes it hard to type sometimes because the INFJ can look like a thinker, the INTJ can look like a feeler, and the INTP can look like a sensor, with Ti, Fi, and Si respectively.

Ideally for me to type someone I would need at a minimum to see a video they are in. Some people I can type by seeing lots of their writing, but not all.

The Masculine can never deny or give up The Self, this is fundamental to The Masculine. The Masculine is all about The Individual.

Not with people underneath Green according to the theory.

Unless you meet someone, you are talking about a classification instead of a real person. Stage Green is an intellectual category.

The addiction to the fantasy of having no addictions.

Actually I am not a big coffee drinker, but when I want some -- I do it without any guilt.

I like how they socialize with each other.

The paranoia of someone God forbid disagreeing with you, and then defending the fear of that!

I would have to meet him in person to determine this lol. I hope the humor comes thru.

If you don't know you don't know.

I feel like this blog post also applies to spirituality and spiritual teachers too. Replace science with spirituality and scientist with spiritual teacher. https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-753

I deal with paranoid people all the time. The go on and on and I try not to discount what they are saying without agreeing with them.

Insanity is when you are unaware of your insanity IMO.

I think one of the aspects of Stage Orange is the idea that we need to constantly worry that we are not performing good enough. For example, I spent a lot of time getting the perfect mouthpiece for my trumpets, but when I got my cornet refurbished, we quickly picked a mouthpiece that I played with that because it was my first horn. The reality is it is just fine.

I can't stand passive aggression. Please explain.

I feel like it still kinda taboo to admit that you use AI for your job. AI is an incredible relation if you can use it responsibly IMO.
