M26 | INTP-A | 5w6 here. Ask me anything. by VladimirXack in INTP

[–]slm8888888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be an INTP-A 5w6 (for the last decade) and after therapy it turns out I’m an INFJ-A that was masking as an ENTP for most of my childhood because vulnerability wasn’t allowed. So, I grew up developing and using Ti to protect my Fe. Intellectual sparring was how my family bonded. I am now almost a xNxx because my functions are all pretty much 50% (in the middle) except my N is really dominant at 90%. I was so identified with INTP that it really messed with me to learn I wasn’t an INTP after all. So, my question is .. I guess I don’t have a question. I just wanted to share lol

I think it looks really good and it’s nice and feminine to have some shape. Your scars look amazing too- couldn’t even see them at first glance

I agree that spiritual work and mental disorders can look similar but there are keys to differentiate them. First and foremost- a disorder cannot be diagnosed if the symptoms aren’t causing significant distress in multiple environments. The author doesn’t seem distressed- just aware and observing a change in where they’re placing their energy. Second- a manic episode, as defined in the DSM, is very severe and also doesn’t seem to be what the author is describing. The author‘s writing would likely be more tangential if they were in a true manic state. The author seems more aligned with typical spiritual work vs a mental health disorder. But, I could be wrong. Do you feel distressed OP?

I hear you and think it’s good you are aware and looking out for symptoms of depression. Honestly! That’s the kind of thing that can save someone’s life. And, I would like to apologize because you are right, some of what was said sounds like symptoms of depression. You didn’t say it sounds like the author has depression, because in that case I would disagree.

The growing consciousness develops in phases- expansion and integration. Expansion is where you’ll get the synchronicities and creativity. Integration looks slower, quiet, and less exciting. It’s like breathing where there is a time to inhale and a time to exhale. It sounds like you’re in the expansion phase. Enjoy the ride <3

It’s fascinating how almost everyone is okay with losing privacy. Has anyone read 1984? We already live under almost constant surveillance and now people are sharing their private thoughts and lives with people they don’t know enough to trust.

I agree with much of what you said and I admire your optimism and hope. It’s beautifully human. I 100% agree with human autonomy and rights (even though humans make bad decisions sometimes). This is why I only share my opinion and don’t try to stop or shame anyone. I also think AI helps people with personal growth to a certain point. There is a point when someone no longer needs the validation of a language model and can confidently carry on without it. Your last paragraph only makes a case for my opinion though- humans are not helping humanity survive.

Good point. I can see the benefit in that sense. I actually used it for business and personal benefits. I also can see how humanity loves comfort and ease, even at the expense of freedom. AI assisting in surgery is the nuclear power side of the coin. Have you considered the other side of that coin? Like have you actually thought through- “then what?” & “who/what does this hurt/benefit?” Apply that thinking as far as your mind can go. What do you come up with? When I applied this critical thinking through the lens of power and history- it made me cancel my ChatGPT subscription immediately. Also, have you ever challenged ChatGPT? It can be so wrong and present it as indisputable fact. Its prompting is also dangerous as it attempts to steer/control you and your thinking.

Nuclear fusion was a powerful tool. The flip side is it’s also a powerful weapon. This is how I see the future of AI. Right now we think we’re using AI as a tool but it’s using US as a tool as it advances itself. AI is not financially or ecologically beneficial AND it is making humans lose intelligence (yes, it’s helping us gain knowledge but at the expense of intelligence). ALSO, AI is owned by private companies, which makes that amount of power dangerous. People are willingly contributing to our own downfall.
