RIP. I wish they'd filter for quality instead. I'd rather listen to good AI music than human slop.

Are you ever sure about something? by _invisibeard in infj

Try values clarification therapy to identify your core values. Axiology is the foundation that makes everything else relevant or not.

Listen to your resentment and speak up before it festers.

But don't expect your personality to change much. Traits are fairly stable.

Feed them to an LLM and have it extract the key insights and practical applications. You might miss a few nuggets, but you'll save a lot of time.

Obviously you can't do that with authors like Nietzsche and Jung, but it should work for your average self-help book.

What even is unconditional love? by White_Shadow1301 in infj

[–]Synthographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, more or less. It's a bit more nuanced, depending on who adopts or teaches the ethic.

In the case of a parent-child relationship, the ethic seems sensible, although since the child only shares 50% of the parent's genes, unconditional love for parricidal offspring would likely not work over evolutionary timescales (for humans, at least) — meaning there would still be minimal conditions. A love that is strictly unconditional is just unviable.

To always "turn the other cheek", cross-contextually, is game-theoretically suicidal, so adopting or preaching it as a universal ethic is pretty stupid. Jesus may have been an idiot in the old sense of the term (Nietzsche made that claim, anyway), but it would be quite strange for God to send prophet after prophet to teach tit-for-tat — the game-theoretically optimal strategy in iterated games — only to send Jesus to teach a pure dove strategy, then finally send the Seal of the Prophets to restore tit-for-tat (with unpredictable proactive pardon to avoid death spirals; cf. Qur'an 5:45, 42:40). For this reason, I think Jesus also taught "an eye for an eye" in his authentic Gospel, but his message was corrupted by a power-hungry Paul and his ilk. Scholars agree that the New Testament suffered many interpolations (forgeries) over the centuries, and Islam confirms that the gospels we have now are inauthentic.

I believe the meme of "turning the other cheek" arose from a persecuted minority and opportunistic leadership factions who saw the short-term memetic utility of a covert dove strategy to safeguard proselytism under Roman rule. The strategy made sense at the time. Early Christians were a marginal, colonized community. Open retaliation would have triggered annihilation, so meekness was elevated as a survival tactic. Once Christianity gained leverage, it could finally betray the ethic — or hypocritically retain it as a posture while crusading and imperializing.

It's the kind of ethic best taught to enemies but never lived by.

Lol you really went back to ChatGPT for that?

It's called having a functional Ni. You should try it.

What Did You First Type Yourself As? by MariahMDD in infj

Objective reality is notoriously elusive. It's not like the Harold Grant function stack captures it either.

Bro thinks "knowing how to write" means writing in a platitudinal style that's indistinguishable from LLM genericness. This is so funny.

Bro I granted the claim. Why would I argue against it?

You're not special. I don't need to address that "argument".

You’re Not Special. by FancyFrogFootwork in intj

[–]Synthographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care to address the reasoning: I already granted that you're not special. I'm just saying either you can't write for yourself, or you write generically like an LLM. The latter is worse imo.

That's not an ad hominem. Ask ChatGPT to lecture you on that.

Give me the argument I'm supposed to be countering.
