We already know how we feel about things and how relationships work; this isn't something we have to come to understand. What we have a difficult time understanding is why people do certain things (or are doing); can't they see what we see? Actions are very important to Fi type; probably more important that blabbering away about what it is that you believe; if actions don't match what you say, that is inconsistent and highly devalues the individual to us.
Fi is a function that is in touch with the person's own feelings, judgments about things around them, not just any judgements though, the kind that involves ethics of relationships; how things should be treated, from an idealized and idealistic perspective. For example, last night I went bat shit on Ashton for what I thought was ethically immoral of him to assume that he could confidently identify an idea, an explored idea about what caused homosexuality. I did this because my ethics is such that if I see an idea is potenialy harmful, from either rumors being passed around about it, or people supporting it, then what it does is potentially put homosexual people is an awkward and unjust position to have to defend themselves against YET another thing and it doesn't let people be, be normal, live and just be accepted. To give them what we all should have and enjoy which is civil rights. That is my value as a humanist, those are my thoughts and because of them I find it highly incapable to live quietly, to live unresponsively, to not allow myself to not give support, love, consideration, to others (especially those who are the underdogs of the world), thus I'm compelled to react, to take things to heart, to gather courage and love like a good knight and off to the road I go and I usually go alone. But you can see that this feeling and other feelings I have about so many other things sit at my core and judge the external world by and react to the external world by them, creating relationship between myself and everything around me, at least everything that I see, if I'm not in my head just exploring dreams or day dreaming.
Read Dostoevsky, you will see how often he oscillates between facts and emotional expression of people's character and actions. For example he judges the father, Fyodor, for his lack of prudence, for his lack of care for the way he takes care of his family. These are the values the author holds and through his character, as the narrator, he expresses his reaction.
We are called HEAVY humanitarians or Humanists because these concepts that we have of morality, right and wrong, are most often judge human action. Although our love and kindness extends generously to animals and to the environment. But our first love is for mankind, for people, we want to see them taken care of well, to be treated lovingly for everyone to know their place in terms of how they should behave that will establish greater peace. The other aspect of my humanitarian/humanism is my generosity of gifts, helping in whatever way I can, to people. This is the altruistic nature of my type.
I don't know what you mean by demential ego type. Conceptually, I'm thinking you're saying: are we this way ALL the time, no, but it's a typical orientation, and yes it's a lot of the time, much more so than the average human being.
