I knew you'd make that point someday.
You know what? The world will never know, because there was an attack on this board in early 2007 that eliminated my earliest public
considerations of the dual-types.
Technically, one could affirm via internet site records (if they exist) that it was extremely improbable that I could have seen Gulenko's Dec 17th article before publishing my own research here. The article itself has been editing heavily since its original posting, as a thorough investigation would reveal.
I settled on considering the "crossed" elements seperately in early December; but it wasn't until later in the month that I realized that IM elements could be expressed in different forms. (
could be followed by
, for example) This was the "jump" that distinguished dual-type theory from crosstype theory: before this realization, there was no pretext for believing that there was an "exertion" type apart from the metabolism type.
Finally, you're failing to appreciate the intricacy of the socion. If only you truely understood the full significance of the relationships of
to
, and of
to
, you would realize that such claims are quite obsolete given the evidence available. You may have heard of the
"noosphere" concept, of which all adult INTjs are quite aware exists. The directions of thought are organized in massive parallelisms denying all physical boundaries. Awarding a single person credit for a theory of the socion fails to appreciate the depth of the theory's own ultimate implications.
Yes, that recognized idiot BionicGoat can glorify his ignorance, (he doesn't realize he's the REAL butt of his jokes!) but nothing he says changes the reality in front of him or others. The socion is more than what that institute in Kiev says it is.
That said, I would like to refer you, hitta, to a set of articles in the Institute's journal that explore what it means to live in the fractal psychology implied by socionisc. They are quite illuminating.
