Hi,
Here is the conversation I had with Jack from WSS:
Many of you saw it live, but I wanted to post it here for the record too. 🙂
Overall I felt it went well, and thought Jack was a good and fair host.
I wrote this on youtube and I'll say it here too:
"I loved every minute of this! Two great minds and many thoughtful questions. I enjoyed the overview of the foundations of each system, and the forecast of where you are both hoping your fields will be heading in the future. Thank you both for your genuine passion for typology. It's inspiring. Can't wait for the next debate! -Animal"
Great work. I'm floored by both of you really. As you pointed out, Jack was indeed asking many of the questions that you asked along the way, and it was amazing to see this breakdown. I was already familiar with a lot of CT's history, but I learned something I didn't know before, about how you clustered the signals together and why you took the leap to correlate them to Jungian signals, and how your findings actually may be proving that Jung's general model had some validity. That was a missing piece for me before, in terms of understanding the evolution of CT.
I'm also excited for the next video because that will address some of my major concerns, such as - how does WSS view the meaning of different functions? I hope you will talk about Fi and Fe as well, but I assume that's inevitable in a conversation about Ti and Te.
Also, just to add some commentary, even I was getting tired just WATCHING this video toward the end - since it was packed with intellectually heavy concepts and I was paying close attention. I'm Se, but I don't have Jack's kind of stamina to keep up an involved conversation for that long. It seems more like a Je thing, perhaps.
Just want to give my approval of this conversation which had the risk of going wrong in so many ways and since the same words have so different meanings for each of you it would have made it very difficult to clear things up if the debate became a heated one. But you are both so civilized and also good listeners. Thanks
