Hmmm not his life experiences but opinions, sure. Which is why ENTp is a bit bewildering tbh. He seems very warm and quite, uh, tactful, to be Fi polr. ENTps to me come off as much more abstract and detached in perspective.
e.g.
“A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
“Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.”
I mean he could be a very F-like ENTp but most likely he was just an F type.
re: Ne vs. Ni, I'm not sure I can explain this because I'd have to go into a lot more detail than I'm capable of at the moment but random quotes that bring to mind Ni (or maybe just N > S):
“We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.”
“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center.”
“Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.”
“When I write, I feel like an armless, legless man with a crayon in his mouth.”
Just my perspective/two cents/etc.
