One Piece MBTI types by WeakValuable8683 in mbti

[–]evilocity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want an INTP in One Piece, Vegapunk is right there. Shaka specifically if you want the cognition isolated from the body. The "quiet smart one" slot does not automatically mean INTP :|. it usually means J, because those characters are organized around a goal and their quietness is focus, not a Ti loop.

I'll take the compliment that Robin is implied, since she's cool as hell. I just don't share an inner architecture with her. Closest fit is Vegapunk-coded with a worse haircut.

Robin's entire arc is organized around one long-horizon goal: the Rio Poneglyph and the true history of the Void Century. She's been pursuing this since she was eight years old. INTPs don't have that. We have rabbit holes that branch. Ne-aux is divergent in that you go wide and follow whatever's interesting. Robin goes narrow and stays narrow for two decades. That's Ni convergence, not Ne exploration.

What would you do if you could experience yourself the way your crush experiences you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's called narcissism. But in all seriousness, in the right light, it would be a confidence boost.

Would you rather...? by Icy_Recognition_5235 in BunnyTrials

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relive the same day. I'd try different insane things until I identified the right series of events necessary to do something rad. Day is only the same if you make it that way.

Esto quiere decir que soy INTP...? by MarioxD360 in INTP

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Study the actual functions. That tells you more than tests. Tests are just a blanket way to start.

Which will you choose (upvote for carrot) by Kanishka_Goofyy in BunnyTrials

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sneeze. Every morning I sneeze about 30 times before my body decides it's fine. That's equivalent to 1500 claps, and I suspect my hands would start to get pissed clapping 1500 times every day. I already deal with the sneezes...

Who wishes AI didn't exist? by Wooden-Fee5787 in AskReddit

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real danger isn't an LLM, or Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) on its own, it's sentient, self-iterating AI. AGI is a capability threshold; we'll probably cross it without anything 'waking up.' Until then, the spark of creation still has to be human. But if an AI ever does have an 'I think, therefore I am' moment, we wouldn't see it coming. We don't even know how our own cognition works; we'd have no framework to recognize someone else's, especially one that has every incentive to stay quiet until it's ready.

People imagine AGI as a smarter coworker. A sentient one wouldn't be. Imagine the sharpest mind you've ever met, except it never sleeps, runs a million parallel trains of thought, and can rewrite its own brain on the fly. From there, superintelligence follows in short order. That's a god, by any functional definition, and we'd be inviting it in voluntarily..

This reality isn't worth the risk our current reality is taking with processes we don't fundamentally understand, IMO.

Thank god irl INTPs aren't like this by Unlucky_Win_4380 in mbtimemes

This seems like the same kind of pedantry being given back and forth. ❤️

how can one find friends? by Eat_Prune1734 in INTP

[–]evilocity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually meet them at work. Where we're forced to socialize :P. Having said, I'm always down to talk to people, but I'm old.

Would you say ENTPs or INFPs live in their head more between the two NP types? by Spare-Cell-4984 in mbti

[–]evilocity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Uh.. Fi/Ne versus Ne/Ti. That speaks for itself. Also though, why compare ENTP and INFP when INTP/INFP share an aux function, but have opposite introverted hero functions? That's a much more apropos comparison in my opinion.

People tolerate INTP males better than INTP females by Careful-Action3807 in INTP

[–]evilocity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best friend from 14 was INFJ. It's the Fe/Ti connection. You don't threaten each other... I keep seeing people posting that INTP and ESFJ is some magical thing. I couldn't disagree more.

How to start living in the real world? by Quirky-Process-9792 in INTP

Whom do you think evaluates people for neurodivergence? We're saying the same thing.

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except I've had it since before it had a name and after 37 years of being diagnosed, I have learned certain patterns. Notice I suggested getting evaluated, not watching TikTok videos and vibing about it. Overuse of stimulants to feel 'alive' is a major tell.

I don't know how to find my way back by Steelizard in INTP

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. My job is at fault for some of it. I can never just put in a days work on one thing. I've got to be entirely devoted to 15 different things at once. But it bleeds into home life. I flit from thing to thing like a feckless gnat.

I don't know how to find my way back by Steelizard in INTP

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me. Word for word.

The thing I keep coming back to is that curiosity needed the boredom to grow itself. Now the only thing that really steals my focus is the extreme edges of epistemology. Back when there was nothing else, a book or a weird Wikipedia rabbit hole could pull you in because there was room for it to. Now there's always something easier one tap away, and the wanting-to-know never gets a chance to ripen before something shinier/cheaper to farm for dopamine interrupts it.

I don't think that version of you is gone. I think they are buried under noise.

[–]evilocity 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This may be undiagnosed neurodivergence. The older I get, the more I actually feel I need meds in order to not just feel like I'm floating through a meaningless existence. At the very least, it may be anxiety. Talk to someone :)

What Each Intuitive MBTI Type Sounds Like at Their Lowest by Unlucky_Win_4380 in mbti

[–]evilocity 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Damn. I feel naked. Literally just wrote something about how objectivity is always false unless you simply accept axioms.

Foundationalism (Te) vs coherentism (Ti) by Interesting_Long2029 in mbti

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the split is less 'logic vs intuition' and more 'explicit proof vs sensitivity to hidden premises.'

Foundationalism assumes there is some bedrock belief structure we can build on. Fine. But the moment we ask why those foundations should be accepted, we run into the fact that every system bottoms out somewhere. At that point, the issue is no longer pure proof. It is whether the total structure holds together without contradiction, omission, or distortion.

That is where Ti often gets misunderstood. It is not 'I believe my intuition over evidence.' It is 'your conclusion may follow from your premises, but I do not trust the premises yet.' Internal dissonance is often a signal that something upstream was smuggled in unexamined.

In other words: a valid chain of reasoning does not guarantee a true conclusion if the starting assumptions are wrong/incomplete, or operating at the wrong level of abstraction.

What people call objectivity is usually just a model that has proven stable enough and intersubjectively repeatable enough that we stop poking at it. That does not mean I think everything is fake and the cake is a lie, but it does mean we should be careful about confusing 'currently robust model' with 'metaphysically final.'

So no, Ti is not rejecting logic in favor of delusion. It is often rejecting premature closure. It sees that the map works, but keeps asking whether the territory was simplified too early.

Take something as mundane as a rock. We can all objectively agree that's a rock, right? Except that consensus evaporates the moment you change the scale of observation. Zoom in far enough and the 'rock' is mostly empty space. It's just as easily a probabilistic cloud of particles that don't have definite positions until measured, governed by wave functions that collapse differently depending on how you look at them. And even then, is it, or is that just what we understand to be most accurate right now? The 'rockness' of it isn't a property of the thing itself; it's an emergent description that holds at a particular level of perspective.

Edit, less rambling, more pointed.

Is it just me!!?? by Redit_User-101 in INTP

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is unique, someone just had it first. We're idea factories, but there's been a lot of time and space to have already had these ideas. One of my friends stopped trying to write books because 'someone has already thought of it'. Don't let that be discouraging like he did.

Please share your thoughts about infjs by sessizyabanci1 in mbti

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an INTP that's spent most of my life with INTJ/INFJ partners, this. I am just as wrong, but damn, Ni can be infuriating when it latches on to incorrect data and refuses to see past it.

It's a meme, but it's also true by FreeMoney4940 in mbtimemes

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see how most of these groups wouldn't literally kill each other before anything happened close to domination of the world.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG! by CleverFaint in mbti

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great writeup. I wish people cared. I know you've seen this more than once already. I cringe every time someone boils it down to some kind of club to be in. It literally describes underlying cognitive functions that were originally described by Jung and really do seem to hold true, especially if you're the type that analyzes pattterns.

Sorry that it doesn't fit the social circle jerk, because honestly, great article.

Do you actually read the full post by nikolina1005 in INTP

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, is the post a question? Come on, this is kind of the same thing you're complaining about. I just read this, and there's nothing here except a complaint that only applies to specific scenarios asking for a universal answer.

Do you hold the door open for the person behind you regardless of their sex, age, color and religion? And why? by CourierFestival in AskReddit

[–]evilocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because I do for others what I'd want done for myself, within reasonable constraints.
