Sometimes I wish I was a girl lmao. So emotional.

That was actually one of the questions I was uncertain on

4/40. I could've probably gotten a 6 though.

Four separate sources are just all wrong

I just had an interesting insight. If ExFJs are the best teachers, are IxTPs the best learners? Just think about it: what is teaching? An outwards movement of information. What is learning? An inwards movement of information. ExFJs and IxTPs have the same functions, just in the reverse order. So literally, what the one type is best at, the other is best at doing in the reverse. What could be other similar dynamics? ExTJs are the best leaders, while IxFPs are the best followers?

@How to be wise What do you think about people who think Leo is an INTJ? What are they getting wrong? Do you understand how they can come to that conclusion?

ISTJ, the most "direct" type, talking uninterrupted for an hour: Things like speaking time or amount of information provided depends on context. If you've been invited to speak for an hour about yourself, and you accept the invitation, you'll do that regardless of your type. The same logic applies to any format with a rigid structure, like debates. In such cases, it's better to look at "what" the person is saying. Notice how much he uses Si, how linear and precise his storytelling is.

I just recently found a coping mechanism for anxiety about future events. Repeat to yourself in the voice of Zack de la Rocha: "I don't live in tha future!", "I don't LIVE in tha future!", "I, don't LIVE, in tha future!". It actually works ?

and a bit more.

So there are no INTJ teachers or professors?

For those of you who are not enlightened but has had awakening experiences and are aspiring to abide in non-dual awareness, have you ever tried letting go of everything? I mean literally everything — your entire life as a human: your future aspirations, your job, your friends, your family, your kids, your sanity, your desire to belong, to be safe, to survive. Maybe that is what is keeping you back. I know it is for me. If you've already tasted what it's about, what else could be holding you back?

@How to be wise What type is Leo?

I didn't know "directness" was a cognitive function I think your observation is a bit on the vague side. People talk a lot during debates, because you need to respond to the points the other person is making. I think it's more useful to look at what they're talking about, and they're very different in that respect.

Can I have one snippet of the part of the book that you're the most proud of?

That microtonal vocal line she keeps doing has been stuck inside my mind all day

It would increase the sensitivity if you use it enough times to become dependent on it, where your brain starts increasing the endogenous activity to counteract the decrease in activity by the antagonist substance. But only when you stop taking the substance, you'll start having an increase in sensitivity, as you go into "withdrawal" of the antagonist substance. The downsides of course are that you have to first get anti-high on the anti-psychotics (which feels like shit) and risk your health (because they're generally not good for you), and only then, when you stop taking the anti-psychotics and let the anti-high wear off, you can get very high by taking the right substances. This also assumes that the anti-psychotic is selective enough for the drug you want to get high on, i.e. it needs the right binding affinities for the right types of sub-receptors, especially 5HT2A and 5HT1A when it comes to classical psychedelics in general.

Anti-psychotics are not to be messed with.

I know there is difference between resisting and letting go.

The personal mind is Consciousness reducing itself down to a seemingly limited perspective.

It can be a practice, but it's really just about stopping resisting. That action is more in your control that you might think.

The thing that is asking.
