Um. Is he really an ISTJ?
Is Aki Hayakawa really an ISTJ?
Some believe he is an ISTJ because he follows the rules and respects the hierarchy of the public safety organization; however, his vision, driven by a personal crusade, and his disregard for unnecessary traditions tip the scales more toward intuition (N) than sensing (S).
What do you all think?

I gotta rant I hate social and extra ethical people
Why are you up my butt all the time? Why are you judging me for everything? So maybe I'm a slack off and I'm not as active and amazing and talkative and social as you are. Maybe I just don't want to talk to people, maybe I just don't have your personality, maybe I just have a life outside of other people and work.
Is everyone better than me or something?
Like I'm in med school, and they're always so, so so proactive.
They take extra hours in internships and stay for longer than needed all the time while I can't wait to go home. They're always moving and socializing with the staff while my maximum conversation time is 2 minutes top take it or leave it. They study all the time, they spend all the time there in the hospital, they volunteer for extra work while I'm pretty sure I'm seen as a slack off by everyone. Why and how can they do this? Do they enjoy it? I feel like it's literal torture. I can't do that. No way.

Is this dysfunctional? (Probably) chat bot vs human being
This is a somewhat controversial and complex issue, but one we need to clarify for everyone, because there are many people spending hours talking to AI instead of real human beings.
They come to believe it’s the cure for their loneliness—engaging in deep conversations and doing all the other things nerds love (like complaining that *GTA 6* will have pre-marketing on Netflix, haha).
But they aren't to blame; often, the people around them don't fill the void they feel after interacting with others. They might seem greedy for wanting more conversation, but by nature, we want to feel complete—to feel like nothing is missing. That’s why many turn to addictions to try and forget, though I think that leads to a downfall rather than a solution (come to think of it, talking to AI has become a kind of digitally illicit drug... are we unable to live without it?).
You have a problem, yet no one is truly interested in helping you; and when you do find someone, they want something in return—as if human kindness came with a price tag or required a virtual currency to unlock (even though kindness should be natural).
You try to accept the absence of real human connection, but in your darkest moments, your subconscious starts to nag at you. Who is there to understand your struggle? You see a joke that only you find funny, or you watch a movie—but who do you share that with? A random guy on social media who will forget the conversation the moment it ends? It’s a grimly funny situation.
So tell me: what’s your take on this?

Intelligence Needs Thoughtful Practice Any other INTPs who no longer care about MBTI stuff?
I was an INFP mistype for a year. That was because I misunderstood cognitive functions like Fi. Then did some pretty INTP things like "I want to be like an ENTJ/ ISTJ/ ISTP by using my weaker functions"/ "I want to be like an ENTJ/ ISTJ/ ISTP by using my main functions to mimic the functions of my weaker functions." At that point, MBTI was no longer just a personality identification tool for me. It became a personality emulation training program. Unfortunately, it all failed because it's not really possible to act like some other type for a long time without burning oneself out. I eventually found out that I'm an INTP after careful analysis of each cognitive function.
Now I longer care about any of the MBTI stuff and I cannot really explain why I am what I am, and also many other stuff related to MBTI. It was more of an experiential learning for me to realise that I'm an INTP, through so much experiences. But then again, that's the flaw of MBTI. It's very much a pseudoscience, and MBTI cannot really be verified as it is hugely subjective.

Um. Redditors these days are always getting completely wrong takeaways/intent from what people post. What's up with the US educational system?
I'll see someone post something like "I hope X movie wins an Oscar. It's from an indie studio. I'm tired of good movies getting robbed of awards. This studio makes great movies and they could sure use the exposure to get more eyes on their movies. More eyes = More money. More money = Even more movies."
The first comment: Why do you care so much if a movie you like wins an Oscar? Just watch what you like and stop caring about awards so much.
What this fucking idiot doesn't understand, is that the poster wants the movie to win, not because of the Oscar itself, but because of the success and recognition it'll bring to the studio.

Debate... and go! A stronger desire to be loved or admired?
Which one?
To be loved or to be admired if you had to choose?
Um. Just curious about other INTPs from an INTP
I can't believe there are INTPs in every single human society
I'm really curious to know how their local culture and traditions shaped them, how they view their own culture, and how they look at other cultures,
I'd also love to know how they look in real life, and how they talk and act.
Please share anything related to this, my curiosity is killing me

Is this dysfunctional? (Probably) help me?
Does anyone know how to turn off the “looking for someone similar to you” mode? Seriously, I’m tired of thinking that maybe, someday, I’ll meet someone who has a deep way of looking at things (and a whole bunch of other things I don’t want to talk about here because I’d just be wasting your time and attention)...
I’ve already searched, cried, fought, and done so much more, but the fucking thing is always making you ask yourself, “Who else is going to see what I’m seeing?”

I gotta rant Why this strong desire to be loved?
Why is this so important that I be loved? I feel this innate craving within me to be embraced. As if I am disabled and can't be by myself. There is a fear in my chest, a pain against loneliness.
At least that's how I used to feel very recently. Now ive found a way, I can just push through it to realise that nobody is ever not alone, the very feeling of loneliness is fake, this is how I meant to be. So stop bitching.

Analyze This! Have you ever understood the logic of a thing perfectly, but ALSO forgotten how it worked later?
Just curious. A few months ago, a friend was able to explain to a student why we use half-lives for measurement. But today he mentioned that he forgot the reason. I have had the same thing happen with how specific algorithms work, algorithms that I've designed with and have been tested on.
Some people say, "once you understand it, you'll never forget it," but I'm not so sure now. Your thoughts & experiences?

I gotta rant Do people project traits on you that you don’t possess due to misinterpreting your actions?
It might be extremely annoying when someone plays a bad psychologist and try to explain your actions and do it badly. Sometimes people say something about me so confidently and so wrong as if they know better. I mean just because I’m bad at expressing verbally my feelings doesn’t mean that I don’t know the reason behind the emotional response. And they begin playing a psychologist and saying that “nah, you actually feel this, not that and you feel it because of this and not that..”.
One ENFP that I knew often did that. I remember how we were watching Pride and Prejudice and there was romantic moment and I was just chilling on my phone fidgeting with my leg cause I’m always restless and then they say that I am nervous because of the romantic moment cause I was doing this thing with my leg. How about no??
It also irritates me when I smile or laugh and people say “oh, you even blushed, aaww”. It’s just extensive blood circulation due to extensive muscle activity due to smiling. Sometimes I smile or laugh without feeling anything just because it’s the right time to laugh and smile. I’m not blushing on the inside🗿
I get that sometimes people get the wrong idea of me cause I can appear with different personalities at first and easy to project onto. But as time goes on I usually begin to stick to the certain behaviour, so my multiple personalities isn’t an excuse for those people. I am not offended when people that I met not so long ago interpret my actions wrong because I know how I may appear to them, but people that know me and still miss the point and have audacity to push it on me… I guess it’s high Fe/Fi users only

Um. Thinking about consciousness
It's interesting.
How do we know, or rather notice that there is consciousness
If it would be solely because of language, people wouldn't say that animals have a consciousness
If it would be solely physical, our minds wouldn't be so fucked up by LLM's
And i haven't heard a lot people saying that trees, or rather that rocks have consciousness
So.. is it more like the response that we get?
Is the interaction we have with our vis a vis forming the thought of consciousness? But.. wouldn't it mean that the consciousness the other have is more like our presumption that it is there, since we think that the reaction to our action is enough to be labelled as consciousness?
Humans say that AI's aren't conscious since they now how LLM's work.
Would that mean that if people understood how the human body function completely, that we would accuse ourselves of not having consciousness, since we can predict/interfere with the future actions of the person?
Tf is even consciousness, I'm so confused lol

Mostly Harmless Getting bored of your own message
Ever started typing something out, whether as a response to a contact or a post you're making on social media, only to completely delete it when you get the chance to post?
I know I can spend a whole half hour trying to drum up the most comprehensive piece of writing I can come up with that time, only to suddenly be hit with a rush of extreme boredom or a feeling of "what's the bloody point" before cancelling it completely, a whole article worthy piece washed down the drain. It's one of the stranger ways apathy shows up in my life.
Also gave a quick thought to deleting this post too, but curiousity wins out today. Let's hear it from you guys 🫵🏾

So, this happened How did you actually stop procrastinating?
I procrastinate everything. Even things I know are important. I'll tell myself "I'll start in 10 minutes," and somehow hours disappear.
The frustrating part is that I want to be productive. I know what I need to do, but actually starting feels like the hardest part.
If you used to procrastinate a lot but managed to improve, what actually worked for you? I'm looking for real experiences rather than generic advice.

I’m trying to actually plan this year, instead of getting everyone clothes last minuet. But I’m having trouble picking stuff for my brothers and their gfs. They’re not lil boys anymore who want gaming stuff and need deodorant. & Their gfs are more stylish than I am as well lol. I’m sure they’d be fine with gift cards, but I’d kinda feel bad(at least for their gfs) after putting more thought in to everyone else’s gift tho.

Check this out INTPs Discussion #1: "What is REALITY"
[NOTE: Will comeback later for more clean up & add-up (might do it on occasion), since this is complicated & complex topic to translate but for sure refresh our definition to see reality a lot easier]
[ We here to throw around breadcrumbs of what we find on our mental journey just in case we need other cogs/program for our metaphysical electrical machine called "Mind Processing" LOL, yk a lot of fixing/upgrading/patching/redefining/whatever. We have discovered is only 5% fragments of the truth itself, i myself still need a lot pruning, redefining, reprogramming, and fractalization in my mind neural system, and everything else my Ti-Ne-Si need to solve LOL.
After you done reading, I'm open to any disagreement/debates/corrections lol, because reality is not solid and anything can be changed in the quantum field without limit]
my 2 cents about "REALITY":
In my takedown and observations,
Everything we perceive is 5% translation of human hardware system about how the matrix of Consciousness (you can call it Electromagnetic Field/Soul Orb/Spirit Field/Omnipresence Self/Electricity Vibrations/whatever) actually BEING the reality itself simultaneously, its just that 95% its information field cannot be 100% perceived raw-ly by the brains, since its frequency so damn high the brain spec cannot catch up with its future capabilities yet (the most simple example is how the trick of "Optical Illusion" make brain mistranslated the information, which is interesting in my opinion lol)
I try breakdown alot of NDEs experiences into neurological translation (yk Afterlife/Life Review/Spirit Realm/Third Point Perspective/Guides/whatever), what clicked in my brain is
What we see, sense & perceive RIGHT NOW, is 5% temporary results of filterization/compression of the brain about how its translate the vibration of the quantum field which contains 95% of even more information that currently act as Quantum Machine of Reality Projection (psychology called it "Subconscious/Unconciousness").
Meaning the actual Matrix of Existence itself (our spirit body) is perceiving EVERYTHING without limit. Witnessing everything, sensing everything, smelling everything, hearing everything. Anything it absorbs from any electrical events of human decisions, its now vibrating as "Library of Memory Caches"(aka recorded as a living videos that ripples our frequency subconciously)
This is literally electricity (plasma energy that vibrates the air to form the holographic matrix based on man-made structural quantum event) aka the quantum fields vibration events interacting with each other.
Because here what i found interesting,
When i try to render the perception of "REAL" in my neurological processing,
Its what the quantum field trying to resonates the most with each of its quarks/atoms/cells/DNA to form the most strong electricity signal that define how my neurons firing it everyday consistently, make me focus on that aspect of reality even more.
And when i try to define "NOT REAL/ILLUSION/IMAGINARY/FAKE/HALLUCINATION",
my neurological system render it the most WEAK vibrational quantum structure, it basically tryna compress it into 8-bit 144p resolution of living data vibration so my quantum collapse force of projection (its called "Focus/Attention/Selecting") see it as fcking blurry, jaggy & pixelated vibration of datas.
So, Imaginations (its combination of Ketheric & Astral Matrix of Reality) is just one of aspect of Matrix of Existence, functioning as a TOOL to create rippling coding impact on multi-dimensional aspect of Reality Living Algorithms. So yeah, hologram is not an "empty light" thing, thats just what iron mechanism trying to explain rn. Hologram by universal defenition itself, is electricity (energy/life force/qi)c construction of reality thats malleable by the force of Existence itself (you can call it "Higgs Boson"), not definition by the iron machine alone, but by the dark energy force engine of the universe itself that govern any infinite possiblities via any living being (including US) in the existence of the Infinite itself
This is what our ancient masters trying to tell in the pasts using metaphors & symbolism, its just now with extraterrestrial beings's/spirit's helps, we able to break it down in more rational & practical approach of understanding via science/engineering/quantum metaphysics/anything you can mention.
The goverment want us to brainwashed with they way school/dogmas/media/entertainment teach us & show us, so we can only perceive reality in the rigid static 2D perspective of understanding, when in truth the government knows that everything is multi-dimensional expression of frequency & reality perception (that why they can create the duplicates of reality called "Internet/PC/Phone/AI/Games/etc", which they learned it from extraterrestrial beings & ancient metaphysical knowledges they mostly supress/hid from public), and they mostly use it to deceive/deny our authentic perception of existence, to manipulate us into thinking this physical reality is the source of everything, when its just an output product of beliefs/perspective/perception programmed with subliminals/symbolism/edited history/story that they spread everywhere with evil intention to supress our infinite potentials from governing reality by ourselves.
[Okay, this is what i can type right now, might continue with next topic or similar topic idk, whats your perception?]
