I don’t know precisely what you mean but the common thread uniting every book I’ve read is a chip on my shoulder, a sense of destiny, and the feeling that if I don’t achieve greatness in this life it will have been a mistake.

Come on you fucking faggots fight me.

The world needs a new religion; Spinoza was right, the mechanistic world and the subjective world are 2 manifestations of a single order. Like a piano and a violin playing the same sheet music.

The whole of reality since the Big Bang is converging on a single point, and that point is utopia. A works in which we have attained objective mastery over the world through science and subjective mastery over the world through understanding the aesthetics of human subjective experience, and as a consequence mold reality into the highest possibility actualizable, a post scarcity society full of beings in what we would consider subjective bliss.

Mankind must unite under a new religion and proselytise over the coming centuries and millennia and create a new intelligentsia whose telos, or purpose, in everything they do is guided by this dogmatic and true religious belief,

Fucking fight me. I’m bored being right all the time and God help me you faggots are my best bet at an actually good argument. What say you??

>>22489709
au contraire, for i would have never read the Bell Jar if not for the dancing choruses of Aristophanes. in fact of the metaphysics, were it not for institutions, it would be a point of impression and not competition. that you would imply any of this suggests a chip on your should is merely for WANT of impression, which women are likely to deny unless under the mysticism of academic rigor.

Why are NT personalities so much more common to find in 4chan than in other places? I know only 1 other person in real life that is INTP like me, but here it seems to be the most common type, followed by INTJ despite these two being some of the rarest types.

What about 4chan is so attractive to these types?

>>22492639
no, I love Dubliners and I've tried multiple times to make it through Ulysses (currently about 1/4 through).
Dubliners reads more like the passages of Ulysses that are fully coherent, and since they're short stories there's no possibility for 20+ pages of Shakespeare historiography
I still recommend getting a version with footnotes (I think most have them) just to aid in comprehension for when he throws out Irish terminology or history, which only happens about once per page.

MBTI isn't perfect but it works well enough to help inform you on the types of people you'll interact with, their strengths and weaknesses and affinities as well as your own. Reading my results they have me dead on. I'm of course too stubborn to change anything so that earlier comment about knowing my own strengths and weaknesses was simply me arguing in bad faith the merits of something I just find neat and can't defend well otherwise

>>22493720
Man I get that, I was obsessed with MBTI during high school, but the more time has passed the more I realized how useless it is in real world scenarios. Made worse by internet making it an "aesthetic" like with everything. I like using MBTI for fictional characters, makes sense as rough archetypes, but for people nah.
I especially hate the "mysticism"/romanticisation it lends to iNtuitives, especially NTs, that feel like these curious mythical beings, while Sensors are reduced to dumb animals.
Even funnier is that I realized I hate being surrounded only by these "intuitive", hyper intellectual, "internet-lurker" types as they can not look ordinarily at the world, everything is deconstruction, self loathing, grandiose ideas and so on. I need more every-man, confident world outlook, while I feel like MBTI has done bunch of people disservice by making their asocial/retarded behaviour seem cool and special.

>>22493658
And almost no posts mocking these people for believing in horoscopes for pseuds. It's over.

>>22493751
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the surrounded by x comment but I initially thought maybe finding like minded people would be nice and so I went to lmaoreddits INTJ board and holy fucking cringe, first of all, partially because reddit, they were all atheists, but you're right self loathing cringe shit abounds. I think when it really clicked for me, like you mention with fictional characters, is reading war and peace. Someone asked me what I liked about it and it came to me without thinking I said the way Pierre and Andrew talk reminds me of conversations I had with a prior best friend. I loved Pierre through the book and didn't think much of Andrew despite matching his social profile more or less. I think the key is, if you're going to ascribe any benefit to MBTI (which if anyone doesnt I'd understand that fully), is to find personality types that mesh well and challenge you rather than finding your own

>>22489281
>knowing your mbti

>>22493761
>Maybe I'm misunderstanding the surrounded by x comment
no, you got it right. My whole high school group of 6 (six!) friends was xNTx (holy shit) and I'm so glad I'm not friends with them anymore. Worst "im better than anyone else" self loathing circlejerk/echo chamber etc. We were somewhat "cool" in highschool, but that was most toxic group in my life. Expectedly combined with worst social skills, even more so because they tried emulating the introvert/NT fantasy of being no-nonsense smart guy in every situation.
I consider myself an introvert, but I find the internet idea of introversion one of the worst antisocial retarded things you can teach to a teenager.
