Is it that Ne is more multi-perspectival while Ni is more closeminded? If not, please elaborate?

One thing I find interesting is people who criticize MBTI by saying "I don't believe you can describe all the differences between people with only 16 personalities, but you do you", while at the same time having no problem with describing themselves using just a few words. I think it stems from a naive epistemic relationship to scientific models where confusion about utility and accuracy is the norm. People in that boat most likely believe that physics has basically gotten all the answers, just give it another 10-20 years. It's this attachment to the doctrine of logical positivism that elevates the natural sciences above everything else, and all things outside of that framework are seen as inferior and incomplete. In a sense, it's therefore actually liberating to see the limitations of all models, because then you actually come to appreciate a broader set of models.

I'm not so sure

Are you sure you're just acting?

One lens that can be useful in your situation is that science didn't really change - only your perception of it did. Going into science with your new perspective will make you a much better scientist.

Are you saying INTJ's are enlightened?

The only reason Walter wanted Gale to quit is because he recognized his brilliance and could foresee the fact that he was going to get replaced (Ni), which is why he wanted Jesse back

People can get allergic reactions to all types of medications.

Mindless neo-advaita platitudes are not useful for solving real-world problems.

You don't trust it when millions of people are going to get it? Well isn't that self-centered or what?

Hahahahaha that's genius!

Orange on God: If God existed, he wouldn't let babies suffer and die. That is evil and unjust. Tier 2 on Orange's take on God: You can only place value judgements like "evil" and "unjust" on things like suffering and death from a very specific perspective of survival, in this case an anthropocentric and westernized perspective (as an example). That dying baby will feed billions of microorganisms and bacteria. Is that a bad thing? Obviously not for them. And is it necessarily bad for you? You cannot survive without microorganisms. Without death, the earth would be overpopulated, and then even more babies would suffer and die a horrible death. In many non-western cultures, death is seen as a much less threatening phenomena, which is often a result of recognizing its importance to the cyclical nature of life. Instead of asking "what is best for humanity?", maybe a better question could be "what is best for the whole?". Maybe that is God's perspective.

I said "that could be Blue aswell" to indicate that it does also happen at Red, just not for the same reasons. Red would be driven exclusively by individualism while Blue would be driven by collective values aswell. However, Facism and white supremacism is actually Blue at its core.

That could be Blue aswell because there is atleast the potential of caring about other people than yourself if it happened to be not a hoax ("I would care if only it wasn't a hoax"). It gives a veneer of being a principled person who values integrity. A stage red person will flat out say he doesn't care. They have no transcendent principles other than strictly self-serving ones. They won't have an incentive to see it as a hoax (although they can still hold it is as a belief).

Blue guests trying to eat up Frank Zappa who delivers a beautiful Vaush-esque takedown of fascism on a talkshow about morality and censorship.

Man how many of these are there?

I found this which I think is semi-relevant to this discussion.

The problem of defining anything comes from the act of defining it. Definitions divide reality into separate parts. Life can only be defined relative to non-life. Why can't everything be alive? Well, science doesn't care about that, because it isn't practical. Even if it was the truth, you can't bottle it up and sell it on the market, or use it to make better technology (or atleast that is how it stands today).

THE GLOBALISTS ARE COMING FOR YOUR BABIES! Jk. Red on global warming: 1. What does that have to do with me man? I'm just here keeping it real, trying to live my life, and that's just how it is. If you mess with me, I mess with you. Global warming? Pfft, I don't see no warming, infact it was snowing yesterday. Explain that to me. 2. Listen to me: if I say it's getting warmer, it's getting warmer. If I say it's getting colder, well damn it's going to be a new ice age up in here. I'm the fucking boss, you hear me? I run this motherfucking show, bitch. Do you understand? If you think you can intimidate me with some hocus-pocus talk-talk smartass bullshit, then why don't you try saying it some more? Hmm?! Thought so.

Orange on Post-modernism and "Gender is a social construct": The problem with post-modernism is that it has internal self-contradictions. If you say that there is no such thing as truth, how can that statement be true? It just ends up betraying all forms of logic and rationality, which makes it totally useless. Also, gender is not a social construct. It's a biological fact. If you're born with XX cromosomes, you're a woman, and if you're XY, you're a man. It doesn't matter what you think you are. Biology is biology. Truth is truth. 2+2=4. Q.E.D. These postmodernist SJWs are not living in the real world. They want to replace the real scientific definitions of words with fake ones based on emotional reasoning. If you change the definitions of words, then nothing means anything anymore. I can just say I'm a toaster and then everybody will have to agree with me because "muh feelings". Beliefs and feelings over facts and truth. It's religious thinking and low IQ behaviour. Reason, science and secularity is the reason why western civilization has the highest standards of living in the entire world. Postmodernism and SJWs will lead to the destruction of the western world as we know it. It's a cancer and it must be stopped. We must ban all anti-science SJW propaganda from the universities to protect the values of the Enlightenment. Self-refuting arguments should not be allowed to get free roam over our intellectual institutions.

I think this guy is a great example of Ni (apparently he is INFJ): "I decided I just... I didn't wanna die thinking about what could've been." 14:57 Very calm, insightful, focused. Absolute creative genius (basically single-handedly pioneered the genre of progressive extreme metal).

Atleast it belongs to the right thread in a sense...
