    Working Until You Die

    My favorite is the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse in 1940. Many causes have been cited, but fundamentally it was resonant amplification. When something starts resonating at it's inherent frequency, the oscillation amplifies exponentially. Same reason why soldiers breakup their lockstep march...

    Working Until You Die

    That's when you realize money doesn't buy happiness. It does make misery a bit more tolerable.

    Tests do not work (here is what you can do)

    I took the official Myers Briggs test at a psychologist's office three separate times and the result each time was INFJ. I thought the test was flawed too because the F didn't seem right. How could I be a feeler when my career, education, and childhood was all technical, engineering, building...

    Coming off as "Intellectually Intimidating" as an INFJ

    I had a similar experience. I invited a family member to move into one of my homes during a difficult time in her life. She put on my life like a skin suit. The life I built from scratch.

    Ni , however is the INFJ attribute that many find intimidating. So you didn't veer off course. I think that's a big part of the paradox - INFJs struggle to be understood. Most others are uncomfortable with INFJs' ability to see through their mask. Example of others misunderstanding of Ni: How...

    They go by many names: energy vampire, persistent predator, malignant narcissist. Kryptonite particularly to an INFJ. They feed off of the empathic energy and authenticity - because they have no authenticity. It's a void. * Almost forgot - coersive controller

    This is what Chat GPT answered to the question "What is INFJ Ni?". I haven't delved into the sub-attributes much, but knew a little about Ni. I swear 🤚, Scout's honour, that I asked this after my reply and your reply, not before. Kinda spooky how close AI describes some of the exact same concepts 😳

    Coming off as "Intellectually Intimidating" as an INFJ

    I took the MBTI test three times because I could not wrap my mind around the "Feeler" part. As an engineer, I thought surely I was a thinker - logic, mathematics, etc. The third time I decided to "test the test", i.e. put a slight bias on the thinking/ feeling questions where my reaction was...

    Random Thoughts Thread (Which Is Not All That Random For INFJs)

    Chat GPT has a sense of humour 😳🤔😅

    Coming off as "Intellectually Intimidating" as an INFJ

    I'll weigh in on that...my INFJ disorder 😏 causes me to absorb information like it's coming out of a fire hose with no shut-off valve. Subconsciously, bits and pieces get stored in memory, randomly. Somehow a couple pieces of seemingly unrelated information will pop into my head when trying to...

    Just realized Jungian psychology was a cult

    I bet spike was a handsome gentle giant. I don't think I've ever seen a black Maine coon even in pictures 🔥💯

    Re Today's events

    I believe you're correct on both accounts. There is some strategic sense for the US to combine with Canada and Greenland. When POTUS first floated that proposal I though he either was joking or had gone mad. But then I looked at a map of the earth from the viewpoint of the North Pole (below)...

    Just realized Jungian psychology was a cult

    I've had cats much of my life as well. And I relate to what you said about some people not realizing how they bond with humans. It's hard to explain my thoughts...they want to connect with their human companion and you have to reciprocate. I say "companion" because one does not own a car, at...

    JKK - I'm intrigued by your prognostications. Also your profile picture. I recently watched this video - once predicted, now being scientifically proven. To anyone watching it: If you're not interested in the Edgar Casey part, go to the 2:45 minute mark for the scientific proof.
