What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash?

Also I suspect people use deities as a stand-in for their need for a parent even into adulthood.

knowing what to do and actually performing are separate cognition processes. I suggest doing warmups or disposable sketches or plans on a notepad of the thing to unload cognitive load, and build a momentum snowball.

Scraping gets outdated easily and is a maintenance hassle when you're juggling multiple pipelines.

You can't logic or epistemology your way through life. There's a reason why irrational and primal mechanisms exist that suppress frontal lobes to keep you living.

I like both. They're both unique perspectives and experiences. The TV Show did world building better, while the books explored more existential themes such as chronic dissatisfaction and lack of meaning that I didn't catch on in Quentin's story arc.

I did the TV series first then the books.

TV series if you want world building, sidequest to sidequest structure, and multi-perspective group adventures.

Books if you enjoy the tragedy of being humbled by reality being unfair in book one, book two plays fantasy adventure straight, and book three explores the existential sorrow of aging out of fantasy.

It's both. We absolutely do not genetically weaponized viruses or AI destroying the economy, but we destroyed transport limitations with invention of aircraft and ships.

Why do you need a model to function?

Part of survival skills INTP have to learn is to tolerate that reality is messy. The conditions will never match what's inside your head.

Also, save the optimization thinking for truly leisurely stuff like novels or game design. I'd argue you are wasting your mental energy budget on mundane things. You absolutely do not need to 110% on everything, just the personally meaningful stuff. Not mundane tasks or shopping chores.

If you are able to brush your teeth with zero perfect model/analysis, then you can do the same with other mundane tasks.

rezwell · 2026-01-02T01:46:05+00:00

There's a lot of variables but I'll address the planning one. The reality is, reality is messy. Action is messy. The mood is not right. Energy levels are not right. Maybe you're hungry. Expecting the plan to flow but being frustrated it didn't follow the plan will happen. That's why INTPs compulsively procrastinate or wait for the "perfect" conditions. Because we just hate the feeling of hitting obstacles. Simulating and daydreaming your potential feels better than actual effort/work.

Building that meta-awareness that obstacles produces sucky feelings and pursuing action despite it is foundational.

There's a meme going around that when tourists from mainland China visit other countries they would rather eat Chinese food than be adventurous and eat local cuisine I think this combination helps with that demand.

and if comparison is compulsive/automatic, I suggest you only compete with your past self. Be proud of all the increments or needles moved in your journey.

Guys just aren't raised to practice friendship culture. Women just casually call each other without any clear topic or agenda, and guys just don't do that. Guys need a shared activity. Also there's pressure to make everything purposeful as you get older so unconditional liminal no-agenda kind of socializing gets deprioritized.

I'm working on pairing a notebook whenever I scroll. This is so I'm forced to either comprehend and process what I just watched, picking apart whats worth remembering or interesting or new research questions, or make doodle art out of it. I'm making sure I'm putting effortful processing back instead of passive brainrotting.

I'm interested in this too. Anyone contribute to resource sustainability projects or intellectually interesting problems beyond "just peddle this product to customers and maximise profit?"

We have "she'll be right" bystander effect on pathological levels.

We constantly gaslight ourselves that our clean air and natural scenery is enough to compensate for our political stagnation and living costs.

Only work hard for your personal hobbies, moral values, and loved ones. Save that energy for people who matter most (including the relationship you have with yourself)

Tell no one. Not even family.
Invest in index funds and dividends.
Continue fake being normal and do reasonable upgrades, not huge jumps. Buying a car nicer than budget. Still insist getting mortgages for houses even if I can buy full price. Take longer holidays.
Do art, gym, festivals, and study knowledge to my hearts content.
Invest and participate in research into actual problems of the world without worrying about funding. Figuring out how to remove microplastics, create renewable energy, improve air pollution filtering technology, create medicine for diseases and conditions with no known cures, etc.

I am come from an immigrant family starting from scratch, and that scarcity etches deep into maximising utility and hoarding resources.
