Rationals (NTs)

[Lady Jolanda]

Once the novelty wears off and I know the solution, the exciting part of figuring something out is over and completing it just becomes a tedious chore.

Ding ding ding we have a winner.

Well... my dear Ginny, that's a fair point. However, I don't think I'd ever be as reckless and erratic as our current President. I expect the occasional scandal, however, nothing like him. He's nuts.

Yeah, imagine the scandal when your test cheating gets out to the public...

God, who gave us the impossible task of believing in him. *flees*

The scandal will be flipped.

You're right, this is actually what I meant. I was going to edit my post but anyway, you fixed it before I did.

EDIT: although maybe it could be considered an organic part of the development of individual power. Proceeding in that way about decision-making is already, in itself, a way to keep control over one's environment and sway it in unusually influential ways. But yeah, ultimately probably more a means to power than power itself, understood in the socio-political sense.

I think that my orientation to the world is similar to how you described but more aggressively. If the odds aren't in my favor, I will make them so to control my environment. There's nothing worse than losing control.

Fair enough. But I guess if you force the odds you must also keep in mind contingency planning for medium to long-term retaliation. Unless one can force the odds and control one's environment in a peaceful way, which I doubt!

PS. Glad you finally embraced your full self, pictorially speaking. :bigsmile: The forum is being invaded by Frenchmen.

As your resident contrarian, I feel the need to point out that force isn't power, it's the illusion of power.

Agreed. If you have to exert force to get what you want, then you don't really have power.

Cover-up! Your Henry Kissingers are showing.

 

[Lady Jolanda]

Curious. Please, explain yourself Pin.

My God. I knew this day would come. I tried to warn people, but they said I was cray cray.

Pull up the drawbridge. Sound the alarm. They are coming, with their bleu cheese, and je na say something.

Only cold indifference can save us now.

Henry Kissinger (ENTP) is a former American Secretary of State. He is a proponent of soft power (the ability to attract and co-opt, rather than coerce), but wasn't opposed to the use of force (hard-power) to promote American interests.

Commander @Pin, they pulled up the drawbridge! Did one of the other ENTJs cook and bake the giant drawbaguette that we can lay down in place of the drawbridge?

We have to act fast, those perfidious roast beefs are known to hatch their plans behind closed doors! Their commander @James is an INTJ masquerading as INFJ!

You fiend. *Bursts into tears. I bet you hate Coldplay too don't you ?
