Reply To: Updated Definitions of F

I can understand the inclination to stay at this level, but I think the word values is also not getting at it. For example, often times Ti values symmetry, Ti values consistency, Ti values truth. Te values efficiency, Te values unobstructed processes, Se values experiences, Ne values potentialities, etc.

Yes,  values are way too broad, but I guess he meant ethical values?  Which would also be too broad if I understand it correctly that all J-functions are ethical functions with T being the logical inclined of these.
It seams to me then that all J-functions care  for life, some just in an indirect way or in a way where the consequences are more important than how to get there.  Further, it seams to me that T tend to be more utilitaristic where F will find it too cynical to sacrifice someone's well being for the benefit of the many.  It would be interesting to see how T and F would react to  'The Trolley Problem'
Would T kill the fat man?

Spoiler

   A runaway train is racing toward five men who are tied to the track. Unless the train is stopped, it will inevitably kill all five men. You are standing on a footbridge looking down on the unfolding disaster. However, a fat man, a stranger, is standing next to you: if you push him off the bridge, he will topple onto the line and, although he will die, his chunky body will stop the train, saving five lives. Would you kill the fat man?
