When It Comes To Consciousness Raising You Can Spend Time Telling Someone “crazy” Is A Slur Or You

Hi. I'm an ESTP and I find this explanation very helpful /post/183481379497/. But I was wondering, how does this process work with Ti aux? For example, you've said, "Fi needs to feel authentic self-expression, which actually means that life cannot only be lived for yourself. When you express yourself or your values into the world, you always hope to get validated in some way, and you cannot achieve validation in a vacuum." What about Ti? What does Ti need?

Ti needs to build a genuine sense of capability and mastery, which requires that you work on developing your knowledge, skills, and talents. However, this also means that life cannot only be lived for yourself. Knowledge, skills, and talents don’t mean very much when you never put them to good use, especially when you only use them as a means to convince yourself of your own superiority. This is why Ti and Fe go together. Only when you use your intelligence and capabilities to contribute something good to those around you will you feel as though you are living at your best - this is the long road to life fulfillment and realizing your potential (Ni). Many estps don’t have the patience to take the long and winding road, which is why they opt to play games and use mental tricks in order to feel self-assured (Fe loop).

I have an estp friend who makes a very, very good living in a job that requires immense adaptability and mental flexibility. However, he is not content with only being able to support himself and give his family a high standard of living. He also teaches what he knows, sets up communities to support people who are learning his craft, and mentors the next generation. Why? Once upon a time, somebody taught him how to fish and now he returns the favor by teaching others, so he understands how to show humility and gratitude. In fact, many people in his field tend to keep to themselves. He could easily rest on his laurels because he is widely regarded as a master (part of being able to claim mastery comes from social validation). However, there is something that drives him to do more than just living for himself. He’s not a complicated man by any means, his motives are very simple and straightforward, he doesn’t try to be good at everything but only at the one thing he loves, he enjoys his work and is forever practicing and getting better - he can be said to hear the call of his greater potential.

Abled gays celebrating marriage equality: well we sure do have nowhere to go from here when it comes to marriage rights. Gay rights!

Me, a disabled lesbian trying to get on ssi thinking about how I will not be able to marry my girlfriend if I do because I can't have more than $2000 to my name at a time and they count a spouse's income towards that: wow .. gay rights ...

please do not force an lgbt label onto anne frank. she died before she had the chance to explore her sexuality and if you need to think of her as lgbt to have empathy for her you need to reconsider how you think of holocaust victims. please do not vilify her father, a man who lost his entire family in the holocaust, for censoring the parts in anne’s diary where she expresses attraction for women. it was 1947. jewish girls were already seen as hypersexual. he was protecting her legacy as best he could, and you have no right to call him a villain for wanting what was period-typical best for his late daughter.

i don’t think people understand that people can ‘love’ you and not actually love you

like my grandmother ‘loved’ me, but she also was always trying to change me.  she tried to take me away from my (catholic bisexual) mother.  she made me wear dresses when i was there.  she always tried to get me to go to church and was always asking me if i was dating a boy yet

i spent years feeling guilty that i wasn’t what she wanted me to be until my mom told me one day “she never bothered to know the real you”

and it’s true.  any time i tried to show her something about myself, even cook for her, it would be dismissed, and a replacement would be offered.  even northern food was somehow a sin.  

she loved me what she thought i should be, she never loved me.  

bc people who love you, they love you for all the stuff that makes you you.  they never consider that it makes you inconvenient.

Anand Giridharadas:

“We often have these folk memories that are not our own memories, but are just kind of passed down. 

There’s a folk memory in tech of being a rebel, of being a hacker, of being a tinkerer on the outside.

And I think if you’re like 30 and working in tech, that just was never the actual story of your life.

I think the problem is they’ve clung to that folk memory even as they won.

So the analogy I use is, you see on the news these war-torn countries where you have a rebel army that is advancing on the capitol.

And you’ve got these rebel commanders in their berets sitting in the back of pickup trucks. They’ve got one gun, holding another gun.

Sometimes the rebels win. Sometimes the rebels actually make it to the palace. They become the new king, they become the president.

The old guy’s taken off in a helicopter to some exile country.

And it’s always a bad sign if the rebel, when they ascend to the palace, keeps their beret on.

Castro, Mugabe, Saddam, they all kept the beret. And what does it mean when you keep the beret? You haven’t accepted who you are.

You now actually are power. You’re not the rebel. You’re the establishment now and you haven’t processed your arrival. (…)

I think, when I was listening to [your interview with Mark Zuckerberg], my observation was… And I had the same feeling watching that Elon Musk spliff one.

I love to live in a world where there are all kinds of different people.

But I think we have to, just watching these guys, we have to acknowledge that they tend to be a very particular kind of person. Particular kind of man.

And they’re often these kind of boy-men who are not particularly developed in a lot of ways. They’re not cultivated.

That’s fine to have such people who kind of are not able to relate to other human beings and not able to connect to their emotions.

It’s great to have them in the world.

But to have so many of them essentially, now, in charge of what have become, basically, the locomotives of human history now, these various platforms, is really, really problematic.”

i hate hate HATE the impossible beauty standards in the trans community i hate people especially cis people (but even other trans people are guilty of this) sharing pictures of the same conventionally attractive trans models as "proof" that we can look "normal" (read: not only cis-passing but also extremely conventionally attractive) why the fuck do you need trans people to be supermodels and nothing less for you to respect us. why.

cis ppl can rb just dont add any stupid shit
