    Default Se vs Si ?

    If you were to help someone differentiate between Se and Si, how would you go about it?
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    Si: the physical state (of self and others), and how events affect it; physical needs, comfort, and stability
    Se: the outward physical traits of objects; value (monetary or power), strength, shape, and readiness to mobilize

    this is a damned good summary!

    i remember the first week of wellbutrin when i tried it....
    it was suddenly an Se world...
    look at all the pretty toys i can play with!!!
    it's like the world was full of objects to be moved around whenever/however i wanted

    My first thought was that I didn't see how anyone could confuse these two things. LOL They feel more different than any other two related functions . . . dunno if "related functions" is a good way to put it but i'm hoping everyone here knows what I mean.

    Yes, it is usually the easiest dichotomy for me to see.

    apparently, not everyone gets an initial high off of it...I guess I got lucky.
    unfortunately, no matter how we tried to alter it, I never felt that way again.
    I quite it after a month or so because it wasn't offering any positive benefits...especially considering the negative reactions.
    Bummer really, cuz in that one week i was able to do a lot

    Se: "with a slap of my hand I can get that apple on the table flying right out of the window".

    Si: dynamic irrational introverted sensations - you react to your every-changing internal perceptions

    Si: "wow, she's beautiful".
    Se: "I can easily kick your ass".

    Uhh - yes. And your point is? Se and Si is also sensing, Ne and Ni is intuition -- did you want me to point out the obvious too?

    There is the "bodies and fields" definition.

    I prefer to say that Si and Se are "closer" to the immediate senses, to the present reality, than Ne and Ni, which are a bit more "detached".

    One way of putting it is to say that Si and Se are external and Ne and Ni are internal.

    Is Thinking, being an External Function, then also 'closer' to the immediate senses, and Feeling more 'detached'?

    Perhaps so, in a way. Doesn't it seem easier to conceive of a Thinking machine than of a Feeling machine? Feeling and Intuition are more "personal" than Sensing and Thinking, then. An ISTj robot seems easier to construct than an ENFp one.

    I've been conceiving Sensing and Thinking as 'physical', recently, and Intuition and Feeling as 'mental', although the terms are very hard to pin down exactly...something approaching dual-aspect metaphysical theories or panpsychism, possibly. It gets even more complicated when Static/Dynamic distinctions are made, of course, not least because what is Static under one attitude is Dynamic under the other.

    Yes, but because you also have the rational/irrational bit.

    and -- static but "pushing" for change --> extrovertion
    and - static and "welcoming" stasis ---> introversion

    and -- dynamic and "controlling" change --> extroversion
    and -- dynamic and "welcoming" change ---> introversion

    I assume you mean perceiving corresponds to 'welcoming change', and judging corresponds to 'welcoming stasis', but in any case they're orthogonal to Introversion/Extraversion.

    Now I get what you mean. Yes there's the potential for a logical contradiction there

    No.

    Dynamic perceives change, Static perceives stasis
    Rational dislikes "uncontrolled" change, Irrational wants change

    Static + Irrational --> change must be caused ---> extroversion
    Static + Rational ---> there is no uncontrolled change, no need for action ---> introversion
    Dynamic + irrational ---> change is happening already ---> introversion
    Dynamic + rational --> change is happening and must be controlled ---> extroversion

    Se pushes for change in your model, right? well in the case of creative, it doesn't, it pushes for stasis

    I think Ne is more about what something means, or what it potentially means in relation to other things, though.

    My point is how can 'change must be caused' and 'change is happening and must be controlled' both equate to the same attitude (Extroversion), and likewise for Introversion.

    My point is how can 'change must be caused' and 'change is happening and must be controlled' both equate to the same attitude (Extroversion), and likewise for Introversion.
    Because of rationality or irrationality. Extroversion is a need to take action, Introversion is the absence of this need.

    I see; Extroversion concerns opposing whatever is considered to be dominant (stasis or change).

    Yes; where in the case of and is not necessarily about opposing the change, but steering it into the direction you want. and is about kicking a sitting bull to get it running; and is about holding the bull by the horns to either make it stop or control its speed and direction.

    Thank you. In an incredibly round-about way, if is about 'kicking a sitting bull to get it running', what is - noticing how a running bull affects other bulls?

    Si/Ni rides the bull once it's moving, and steers it to make sure it doesn't run into a wall/other bulls/other shit.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    Si is enjoying the ride itself, Ni is enjoying how the ride is proceeding - until it gets into an undesired direction, but then we are stepping into rationality.

    PeJi: Gets the bulls moving, but knows when it's necessary to let them sit.
    JiPe: Lets the bulls sit, but knows when it's necessary to get them moving.

    JePi: Stops and corrals the bulls, but knows when to just ride and steer.
    PiJe: Steers the bulls while they move, but knows when to pull up.

    Alternately, imagine a car. Ji is at rest/idling, Pe is firing up the engine and accelerating, Pi is steering while it's moving, and Je is the brakes.

    That is the only bit I am unsure about -- Ni and Si are about perceptions; if you steer it in any way, you are already stepping into rationality. Please note that I am talking about the function, not person; of course an IP will also steer it.

    But it's still in a moving state; rationality comes into play when it's stopped, either by the static state of being stopped, or the dynamic state of actively stopping.
