Default ESIs: what are you goals in life?

"ESIs are usually inclined to devote a significant part of their free time and available income to matters related to Si such as fine food, relaxing atmospheres in pleasant locations, and outdoor activities, also with the aim of promoting Fi bonds; but only as long as such activities do not jeopardize the ESIs' main goals in life, in which case they will be dropped." - Wikisocion

Question 2: what if your main goals are to consume fine food and drink and relax in nice places with nice atmospheres?

My main goal is extremely ambitious, and I won't say what it is until I'm closer to it.

As far as the Si stuff goes, the things I would buy with lots of disposable income would be:

1. Nice clothes.
2. Fishing/hiking gear.
3. Nice sets of hardbound books to fill up a shelf.
4. A safe, high quality car (probably a new Volvo sedan with 4wd).
5. A bunch of guns.
6. A big house in a quiet, wooded area that's not too far from hospitals or stores.
7. A bunch of pets, like giant spiders, exotic fish and birds, and lizards and amphibians.
8. A Chinese baby (LOL I would adopt one; they're cute).
9. A whole fucking shit load of brand new computer hardware and software.
10. Fine cigars.
11. A mini bar with lots of expensive liquor, hidden in the wall so Joy can't get to it.
12. Calming, relaxing art.


EDIT: Oops.

Then I would have an easy time of things.

My mum's main goal in life is to have a harmonious family. Unfortunately she's always getting into scuffles with my dad. And in almost every case, she started it.

It is not that she does not know her weakness, I respect it that she admits she needs help. I also love her for her kind intentions. However, she keeps blasting everyone about what is right and what is wrong and whether this or that is justified.

Get off my pants plox.

Her cooking is good. Except when she's cooking unhealthy food. Being a health freak, her 'unhealthy' food has little or no traces of oil, salt, fat, and other necessary condiments and flavourings that make unhealthy food taste good.

Btw I'm not really pissed with her. It's fun to argue with a close family member, knowing that he or she has no choice but to see you everyday, no matter how many bombshells you drop on him or her.

Fi egos cry very easily.

In conclusion, my ESI mum is awesome, but her goal in life seems unattainable, unless she's willing to give it a looser definition.

Question 2 is just logical manipulation my friend.

S- slacking
G- goals

Argument from Wikisocion

Premise 1: G and not S, if G is not equal to (or G is greater than) S.
Premise 2: G is not equal to (or G is greater than) S.
Conclusion: Therefore G and not S (in other words, 'fine food, relaxing atmospheres in pleasant locations, and outdoor activities' will be dropped if they 'jeopardize the ESIs' main goals in life').

Answering Ezra's Hypothetical Inquiry

Premise 1: G and S, if G = S.
Premise 2: G = S.
Conclusion: Therefore G and S (in other words, 'fine food, relaxing atmospheres in pleasant locations, and outdoor activities' will not be dropped, ever).

The problem with my answer to Ezra's hypothetical inquiry is that G is not equal to S within an ESI's framework.

I suppose that what Ezra's shooting for is for an ESI to say 'Holas, I love to eat, sleep, and lay on my bed.' Not gonna happen.

But if it does, then Wikisocion will short circuit due to internal logic errors within the ESI type description page. Watch out, administrators, someone's gonna blow the fuse on you.

My goal in life involves a lot of self-improvement. I am very aware of my weaknesses as a person, and I seek to act in spite of my sometimes unreasonable fears.

My goals in life:
-Get MBA and become financially independent (I invest in mutual funds and plan to buy real estate soon)
-Become more confident and break out of my shell more (still in the process)
-Find an ENTJ spouse who share my values and beliefs (I dated an ENTJ once but our religious beliefs varied greatly and I had to be true to myself)
-Make a difference in the world by using my Fi (I have always felt a strong passion for children living in poverty, disable people, animals, and the vulnerable in general. Through my Fi, I was able to give generously to various charitable institutions and help my family financially. I would like to increase my giving as my disposable income increases)


With regards to Si, I do enjoy it to some extent but it is not as important as the ones mentioned above. I mean, I like buying new clothes, shoes and bags, as well as eating great food. But, what I find fulfilling the most, is helping people in a deeper more personal way.
