Typing: Philosophy

[Ren]

Theoretically, I disagree. Practically, it's too true.

I'm trying to reprogram myself towards a more 'eternal' approach to life. Whether that's a realistic enterprise, I don't know, but one of these days I'll open up the floodgates of Chesterton for all to see. He's simultaneously one of the most uplifting fellows I've read, and knows how to justify it compellingly.

You'd get along well with my brother. He's a big fan of Chesterton.

(As an aside, he is INFP--my brother not Chesterton)

Haha nice Ren, I didn't even know we have this thread. Happy with the typing too.

You are welcome!

I philotyped a number of others in the past (cf. previous pages). I seem to recall that @Pin was very eager to get Aristotled.

Interestingly, I'm not sure there is any Plato yet.

I was once philotyped as Heraclitus by @Lady Jolanda. Thoughts?

I like Chesterton, ESTJ to me.

If anything, you strike me as systematic enough to get Aristotled. But since you're the same person it's a win-win.

I'm thinking I'm a genius and stand by my assessment.

@John K has more wisdom than a benedictine monk, and in his posts insights abound. He is officially philotyped as Baruch Spinoza!

This philotyping is on point!

But where Spinoza was way ahead of his time, John is instead timeless.

Apparently ENTP, which seems legit to me. There's an anecdote that he carried a gun with him in case someone wanted to assert that life is meaningless. What a lad.

I'm actually his android, though I wish I were human sometimes.

As a whole, Aristotle is consistently systematic in a way that I don't think I could ever achieve. But yes, I do relate to the idea that I have a fairly systematic approach. An INTP head combined with an INFP heart? Yes, zat's me.

I'm probably closer to Schopenhauer myself, philosophically speaking. And Heraclitus of course!

Lmao.

True, but so is Spinoza. Or maybe John is the reincarnation of Spinoza? Wait...

As God created man in his image, so did man create android in Pin's image. Can't be more human that that.

I have a soft spot for Blaise Pascal too - his argument in favour of betting on belief in God based on an analysis of the risk / cost / benefit of each possible outcome of your choice is hilarious.
