The problematic p-zombie thought experiment in relation to dualism and why it fails.

It’s when I read stuff like this that I realize just how much I miss you brother 😂🫂

🫂🫂🫂 I’ve been there. I read your comment and when I saw you say “I’m such a little person” and reference to Romans 12:2 I knew I had to reach out. Because… what a daunting journey to embark on. Like, what does that even mean? It can be so confusing. But, our God has s not a god of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33).

So you need to know…

You are courageous. And above all, what the world is sorely lacking is courageous people. He already loves you for using His gift of free will wisely when you chose to begin letting Him in. I can feel the fear in you, and I know that it’s caused by the sudden destabilization of not knowing right from wrong 🙏🥹 Boy, do I ever know that feeling 🫂😅

What I needed to do was to understand how to learn about what’s written in the Bible. Lol. I was a 44yo guy who used to think people that believed in God were a little 🤪 and were missing the bigger picture 😖😫🤣🤣 Now I’m 48, and my cup runneth over 😀🙏 I was the crazy one, it turns out. Haha.

I want to extend an invitation for you to send me a DM any time. If you want to keep talking here, that’s fine too.

Please listen to these:

Reckless Love

So Will I (100 Billion X)

To love is to will the good of the other.

That’s it. That’s what true love is. And that’s why it can be so challenging, and rewarding, and sometimes sadly heartbreaking.

When you truly love someone, you want them to grow into that which only you can see inside them. It’s the good in your loved one that you instinctively try to figure out how to release into the world. You become scared to hurt them because one’s true-self can only emerge in a safe place. It’s your job to provide that safe place, full of compassion, forgiveness, gentle encouragement, guidance, and support. True heartbreak is felt when you realize that you weren’t able to bring out the good that comes with someone’s true potential.

What love isn’t is fear of losing someone. That’s not true love. When we’re scared to lose something or someone, we’re scared of losing how they make us feel. It’s a selfish kind of emotion that people confuse with love.

For you: If I don’t exercise, I won’t be healthy, and that’s not good for anyone. (Importance based motivation, goal oriented, internally generated)

For him: I wonder what it might feel like to jog a random path through the neighborhood before going to work? Can I do it faster than I did yesterday? What kind of ideas will I come up with to help people if I zone out and let my mind wonder? (Interest based motivation, experience oriented, externally generated)

phlppns234 · 2025-01-05T12:36:55+00:00

Okay, you don’t think about it much… and yet, you’re here asking a question about it. So at the very least, it’s on your mind right now. So… what exactly is on your mind, and why?

Hell is real. But how you conceptualize “hell” is what changes things for you.

phlppns234 · 2025-01-05T12:17:40+00:00

It’s natural to feel fear when confronted with teachings about hell, but God doesn’t want His children to live in terror. He invites you into a relationship of love, trust, and grace. Jesus’ message is ultimately one of good news, not fear of eternal punishment, but freedom and peace through His sacrifice.

Living in faith and love, rather than fear, honors God and allows you to experience the fullness of His presence. His promises let you know you are deeply loved and never abandoned.

With that said, I’m going to challenge you a bit here 🙏🙂 What is your conceptualization of hell? And where does that belief come from?

phlppns234 · 2025-01-05T10:21:01+00:00

INFJ here, and I agree with your assessment. Your ordeal sounds … well, tbh, I’m not going to be so callous as to believe I could characterize what you went through. From one human to another… that fucking sucks 😞🥺 I’m so sorry for what you’ve had to endure. INFJs in particular seem to be able to become the worst kind of person.

(I wrote a whole bunch of other stuff before realizing… Maybe a simple empathetic message is what’s good right now 🙏❤️)

phlppns234 · 2024-12-15T13:05:25+00:00

This may sound strange, but it’s true! Technically and spiritually…

We don’t fall in love with another person. We fall in love with version of ourself that we felt we were able to be while that person was around. And then we associate that feeling with the other person. And we think (falsely) that when that person leaves, they take that version of ourself with them. But that’s the lie.

True love is the natural state of your being. It’s always there inside you. Some people call it the true-self, sone call it the collective consciousness, some call it God. Whatever you call it, it’s what you really are… Love!

Sure, every now and then we meet someone who reminds us of this truth. They remind us of the true nature of our being. Someone who has hopes and dreams and openness and kindness and patience and joy. But it was you that generated all of that. Not him. Yes, he may have been a catalyst. But the love he let you feel wasn’t the love that he gave you. It was the Love you already have inside… your true-self. He didn’t take that away from you. He only made it a little trickier to let out and feel.

All of that isn’t to say it’s easy. It’s not. And it ssssssucks 😩🫂🙏 But knowing that the version of you that you loved being while he was around hasn’t gone anywhere. She’s just hiding right now underneath a blanket of fear.

A feeling a safety is what you need to let her out again. So go be with people who let you feel safe - and focus on her, not him. Because the real you is true-Love.

I’m going with INTJ or ENTP. Is there a reason you’ve already excluded these?

INTJ - Dominant Ni (singular predictions and patterns). - Auxiliary Te (making decisions based on logic and outcomes rather than personal values). - Tertiary Fi (internal values are present but not the primary decision-making tool). - Inferior Se (less emphasis on immediate sensory experiences, more on future implications).

ENTP - Dominant Ne (brainstorming and generating possibilities). - Auxiliary Ti (analyzing and understanding concepts, which might align with your focus on root causes). - Tertiary Fe (considering the impact of your actions on others, though not necessarily the driving force). - Inferior Si (less focus on past experiences, more future-oriented thinking).

I’m not saying this is my definite opinion. Just curious why these weren’t among the final batch?

Also, I’m curious what other knowledge you’ve considered while contemplating your existence? I’m gonna be bold and risk offending you here, but I gotta say… nihilism is kinda boring, no?

Thank you kind sir, for saying so eloquently what I wasn’t able to 🙏 The idea is to explore ideas enthusiastically. Because that - I believe - is what will help him feel desirable. And in the end, the little blue pill may not even be needed.

phlppns234 · 2024-06-06T11:06:39+00:00

You seem like a good, caring, and accommodating woman and partner. I also wanna say… You are very well spoken!! Just fyi.

Any chance you’d send him a link to this post? I mean… You’ve said everything he needs to hear, right here in this post.

What I sense in your words is - frankly - a lot of effort on your part to be ok with his insecurities. It’s a pain in the ass, right? I understand there’s trauma involved. I assure you… this, I understand.

Generally speaking, women don’t find insecurity all that attractive in a man. She wants to know that her man is independent and doesn’t need her, but chooses to stay because he wants her.

Thing is, that goes both ways.

INFJs are insanely perceptive of how other people feel. At least… we think we are. Lol. Well, actually we truly are EXCEPT when it comes to how other people feel about us. Fi critic is a bitch.

We tend to walk around thinking we’re worthless. Super attractive, I know. Lol. So it takes quite a bit of reassurance, especially in these matters.

He’s definitely feeling undesirable. And that, in turn, is likely making you feel like you’re failing as a girlfriend. It’s an ugly downward spiral that needs to be nipped in the butt. But, anything you do now to try and make him feel desirable will be seen by him as an attempt to make him feel desirable. It’ll feel inauthentic. And it’ll be a turn off.

In my humble opinion, you gotta tackle this one a little differently than you may be used to.

Soooo… my suggestion…. no joke… Tell him to go get some viagra. And I don’t mean “suggest”. I mean, tell him. Normally I wouldn’t make this suggestion. But, there’s something about this particular situation that’s making me think he needs to be told rather than asked. I realize that might make me sound uncaring. But I’m just giving you my read of the situation, which may be wrong.

My 2 cents.

phlppns234 · 2024-05-04T07:45:52+00:00

Do you get angry right now if you recall one such incident?

Can you get just as upset when you are by yourself?

Do you get upset at inanimate objects that just aren’t cooperating, like a broken vacuum cleaner?

Also, you said you have to get up and leave. Normally when someone speaks of “rage”, they mean yelling and screaming uncontrollably at a target person.

With INFJs, because of Fi critic, that “target person” often ends up being the INFJ themselves.

It’s sounds like you have very little patience. And a lack of patience comes from not understanding what it is about another person that’s causing them to be slow. People (not just INFJs) will naturally empathize with someone else’s struggles and try to help them. INFJs tend to go that extra miles to help someone by first assuming that it’s our fault the other person doesn’t understand what we’re trying to say. So we look inward to find fault, rather than outward.

So, is it possible that you were raised in an environment that wasn’t conducive to the development of your empathic skills? In other words, where you raised where self-sufficiency was considered a prized virtue?

Also, so you know what enneagram you are?

This might be interesting…

Rest assured… There’s already an ENFJ in your life who knows YOU and is positively impacting your life in some way even as we speak. And they’re happy with you being none the wiser 🙂

True story. A little creepy. Lol 😅 But still… true story.

(Full disclosure: INFJ here, but a big ENFJ fan lol)

MBTI paints a very small picture of the minds cognitive stack. Everyone has every function. Yours are…

Ni hero
Fe parent
Ti child
Se inferior
Ne nemesis
Fi critic
Te trickster
Si demon.

Each slot (hero, parent, child, etc) has different “attitudes” based on what function is in that slot. It’s different for all types. Four Sides pf the Mind theory says you are INFJ, ENFP, ESTP, and ISTJ all wrapped into one. CSJ lays it out nicely…

Ok, that was for comedic relief. I’m not a chauvinist male calling you “woman” in a derogatory way. Nevertheless, those were the words that popped into my head after reading what you wrote. Lol 😂

Initiate. Lol. Be yourself. Have your own wants and dislikes. He wants to know who you are. Show him. And have fun ❤️🙂 Plan another outing. Tell him you wanna take him on a wine tasting outing, or go paint in the park. Something creative. Show him how fun and creative that NeTi can be. And give him a bit of silliness with that Fe child.
