but it appears to me that the role of Te in the Fi-lead (remembering the principle of Conservation of Psychic Energy) is rather important.

For sure, and this extends to all types. For example, I have always valued Ti and it plays a very important role in my psyche.

Welcome @danny. For what it's worth what you describe is consistent with the Ne/Si axis, indeed the feeling that "concrete experiences seem inaccessible" seems to be more of an Ne thing, where Ni users would still retain a baseline level of contact with raw sensation. But you should stick around and if you have been mistyped, I'm sure it will come…Read more

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling unfairly judged, @jay. For the record, I have no problem with you. I know I have some propensities towards being judgmental, or patronising, but I hope they have not reared their ugly heads too much in our interactions.

I understand where you are coming from @greencoyote, butI would caution against the notion that a particular development, SeTi l-l- in this case, is the most well adjusted. It might be the most well adjusted to a given life/situation, but I doubt it would be so for all situations/contexts. Also, to harp on my usual stuff, beware anyone telling…Read more

That's interesting, I hadn't thought about it that way. I will follow your prompt by looking not at Fi-leads, but at Fe-leads. I posit that there is also a similar phenomenon going on. The two types of Ti seem to me to be a clarifying/critiquing/cleansing Ti and a more active castle-building/exploratory Ti. I almost exclusively engage in the…Read more

Hey @scientiam, interesting. I haven't watched the video, but I don't relate to the issue of blockages. Though as you say, if how you came to develop functions is an important variable, then it makes sense, because my development was slow and not due to dealing with emotional issues. I do feel like Se is more in the background, probably because it…Read more

@sander Thank you for your feedback. Yes, indeed, I have seen Vervaeke's latest Meaning Crises videos.

1) You are right, the pushing beliefs thing is about the conductor and reviser dichotomy (but that doesn’t satisfy me as to it’s origin and raison d’être in my mind, which is that I respect a person’s viewpoint if they are willing to articulate for me and I am willing to accept it in my mind to assess it’s reasoning.

Thanks for sharing this, guys. It was good to see your vultologies side-by-side. I can see the conductor vs revisor differences, and how Scientiam though not having Pe conscious has a base-line of toggling and swaying way beyond what CourtJester's is.

Tue, 27 Aug 2019 14:44:14 +0000

Thanks, @Auburn. I like where this is going. So we're expecting this signal to hold up regardless of development, though perhaps mitigated somewhat by having the lower functions conscious, where we would see a smoothing/loosening of the forwardness in the case of conductors and a honing and tightening of the energy in revisors?

We should not idealise the llll development or indeed developing other functions. On this I agree with Staas. Different developments are better/more apt for different things. Specialisation and generality are in a trade-off relationship, in the former we get efficiency, and in the later we get resilience. Depending on what you want, and on what…Read more

Well said @Bera. You have brought a proper sense of balance to the discussion, thanks. To complete the thought on the Fe side of the street: Yes, directive Fe people, we can be jerks, but so can adaptives. The method of execution is different, but everyone is capable of great moral (and physical) harm.

@scientiam I think both are the case. They are intertwined, the latter leading into the first. At the first stages more emphasis on the as-per-needed basis, slowly moving into the ever-increasing blooming of consciousness.

@teatime, I am afraid I don't have a good source. I am standing on the shoulders of giants, one of whom is Vervaeke's work on neuroscience. Techne typically is translated as "art/craft", noesis as "intellection" or "intuition", gnosis as (personal) "knowledge" and episteme as (theoretical) "knowledge". This is a shameful and massive reduction of…Read more

@auburn, thanks for your reply, it casts a light over many a shadow. That being said, it's hard to see how to use that model to distinguish the auxiliary from the tertiary. Let's take an example. SeFi has Fi and Te as auxiliary and tertiary, which according to your model we know they are subservient to Se's agenda. Further, we have the idea that…Read more

@Auburn I like where this is going, great stuff. That is a good take on functions as manifested across different types. We still have the trickier question of how different functions manifest within the same type. So yes Fe and Ti are both subservient to Si' map construction, in the SiFe say, but how so? Otherwise we do have hierarchy, but simply…Read more

Yes, as an addendum, to think that Se is necessarily tied to the senses and the physical is as wrong as to say that Ne is necessarily untied to the senses and the physical.

The ancient Greeks had at least four different ways of talking about truth and knowledge: techne, episteme, noesis, and gnosis. Episteme is the closest to us, roughly corresponding to our idea of truth, truth in the propositional sense, statements of fact (The capital of France is Paris), and so on. Techne is more the kind of pragmatic truth some…Read more

Beautifully put, @scientiam. As for the last question, I would put my money on this difference coming from Pi being abstract vs concrete. Si-Ne has concrete and discrete chunks to operate on, so the stories it weaves end up looking like those of consequence and causality. Inversely, Ni-Se has abstract and continuous chunks to operate on, so the…Read more

Yes, @scientiam, luckily cognitive functions don't have the biases of some philosophers and Pe does not make a distinction between the "real" (read material/physical) world and that of the mind. Pe can navigate your inner map just as well as it can navigate the great oceans.
