There you have it ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. You see how far the termites have spread and how long and well they've dined. When someone can post that in a meeting of supposed readers and ask trivial questions about the physical appearances of writers and not discuss the themes and abstract topics associated with their works, that's how far the termites have got.

I endlessly pursue a dream of perfection. The quest of free human consciousness (being-for-itself) to coincide with all that is not free (being-in-itself), while retaining its freedom. To achieve the condition of the in-itself-for-itself. In other words, to become what religions call God, to close the circle of existence, to attain a state of divine being. What Nietzsche calls becoming oneself the eternal joy of becoming, reality itself, beyond all terror and pity, joy which includes even joy in destroying. What Heidegger calls the re-encounter with Being. What Sartre calls a "useless passion." I want the fiery eye of Horus. The sun. Warming and, if necessary, melting the Other under my gaze. To obtain the Objet petit a. To push the fertility goddesses face first into my covers and dominate them. To affirm life to the utmost level, especially when the goddesses bite back. To be as the flowers are. To blossom eternally, even in the dark sun-rays of death.

Most people change their views as the facts change but Chomsky mono-manically and unquestionably sticks to the beliefs he developed as a teenager. The confidence and conviction he displays when espousing his beliefs is attractive to teenagers, especially ones who equate their identity with their political beliefs. Ron Paul, Alex Jones, and Charles Manson are very similar in this regard. He is a boulder that you can depend on never moving.

The sublimation of the Other, within the realm of aesthetics, falsifies the old subject-object, substance ontology and makes it possible for Dasein to will against bad faith and for dietary, physio-authenticity. Studying these masters of suspicion dissolves the false dichotomy between will to power and will to nothingness, opening the Clearing where the ass of Being is lifted from the modern 21st century sitting apparatus and softened in moonlight as it dialectically moves from left step, right step, to pure Jogging.

The fourth function is your inferior function. You want it, but you suck at it. Sometimes you suppress it, sometimes you try to force it. For example, an INFP might be really attracted to the idea of being a scientist even though they kind of suck at it.
