    Default INTp concept of God, devaluing conceptual understanding for a personal bond

    I think John Lennon's song God really resonates as INTp to me.

    Not that all INTps will think about God the same way, but I think that the sentiments expressed -- devaluing of conceptual understandings of God, and instead looking toward personal bonds for knowledge about meaningful lives, seem Ni Te Se Fi.

    It begins, "God is a concept by which we measure our pain". Next he lists religious concepts in which he does not believe. Then he says that what he believes in is Yoko and himself, which is what is real.

    My impression of an INTP:

    "Define "God"?
    all powerful? yes and no.. <writes 100 pages>
    omniscient? yes and no.... <writes 200 pages>
    male or female? <laughs> what is "male" or "female"? The mystical embodiment of complimentary forces of nature with differing genitalia? one will never know...
    ....
    ....
    ...

    <1 million pages later>:
    Now that we've defined God, does God exist?
    Oh wait, we have to define "exist"?
    Do I "exist"? Do marshmallows "exist"?
    <writes another 1 million pages>

    If God exists, how does it affect things?
    <Lists every aspect of everything the world over, with 40+ caveats per item about God's effect on it.>

    Leaps of Faith? That's the equivalent of sputtering nonsense. Let's be rational here. Leap of Faith is another way of saying "shitty logic."
    <1 million more pages of gibberish that only an Ni ego could understand.>

    In conclusion, I predict that a rainbow of destruction will one day shatter the earth."



    There you have it folks. A proof of the existence of something in which everything has been basically annihilated. Inability to categorically phrase anything, resulting in nothing that can be said about anything without it somehow being wrong.
    And you can't contest the INTP on this, because he _is_ right: there is an exception to everything. But how can you prove to him that that doesn't mean you can't make a generalization? I will never know....

    i was ambivalent. and ambivalent about my ambivalence. and ambivalent about my ambivalence's ambivalence. And ambivalent about my ambivalence's ambivalence's ambivalence. And SUM of "ambivalent about my ambivalence's^x ambivalence," of x = 3 to infinity.

    Can we please stop with that strange capitalisation.

    Irrationals in MBTI are the same as Irrationals in Socionics.

    If you can give one example where I'm wrong, I'll give you a dozen which prove I'm right.

    It's just some error made by Ganin which everybody follows blindly without ever testing if it's true.

    I was asking if she was discussing an MBTI type or a socionics type. I can't tell if you're suggesting that MBTI type = socionics type or what. I'm not even talking about something as simple as a p/j switch, just that the types are simply not the same so figuring out which theory we're discussing is kind of important, particularly when my impression of what was written seemed more applicable of certain socionic functions that are not stressed as much in an INTp. Therefore, because I was uncertain of what exactly was being addressed, I asked a question. Is this alright with you, Jarno?

    On a peripheral note, should my testing overwhelmingly as an INFP in MBTI suggest that I'm not a rational type in socionics?

    yeah I guess I'm getting a bit frusterated on that aspect. Not meant personally.

    It's just a strange solution which ganin invented to make the functions in mbti and socionics compatible, which is useless since mbti functions are too messed up. If comparing judging and perceiving with socionics rational and irrational, you will notice that they are similar.

    It's also strange the last letter is capitalized, since the biggest difference in definitions between soc. and mbti exists in introversm and extraversm.

    Actually, mune, I thought you were kidding about the INTP/INTp thing.
    I read the reasoning for the INTp capitalization awhile back. Whatever it is, I don't subscribe to it. As far as I'm concerned INTp = INTP = ILI = InTp = iNTp =....
    heh.
    EDIT: If there actually is a preference/convention here, I'll try to be cognizant of it. But it's in the same way as I would say "It's me" and not "It is I." Common usage > the actual reasoning behind the rule.

    yes i do think that people use four capitals here to be MBTI. I wouldn't care though if someone strongly believed that people should know that Ganin made a mistake or whatever and used it as socionics functional type, that would be amusing. would cause problems though.

    we should probably make it forum practice and make like an INTp and make uniform lower case letters: intp.

    I was only partly joking. Depends on how you define a god. For example I'm my own supreme moral authority, like god is to judeo-christians.

    The human brain has extensive pattern matching capabilities and will sometimes fabricate patterns where none actually exist, especially in high stress situations. Thus supernatural deities that influence human lives and respond to prayer/sacrifices are invented. The brain tries to derive correllation/causation patterns from an impartial and chaotic universe. This behaviour is helpful when trying to figure out which herbs have medicinal value or make sense of the social fabric of a community, but it will yield superstitions when applied to what are essentially arbitrary occurences.

    in socionics terms, Ni processes and links the massive data generated by Te and Se, but the patterns generated must be fact-checked against reality because uncontrolled Ni can start creating unrealistic connections.

    i was just thinking, if this person is an ILI, how would an xEE hear him or her? I knew that the xEE would not likely react the same way I, an LII would/did. For example, wanting to talk about the logical implications and what I see as lack of cohesion in what is being said. However I supressed that because I think that is what happens when one gets older. Not entirely or even necessarily a function of fatigue.

    one idea i had was that the ILI would see connections as more or less useful, but would they agree that things are stronger or weaker correlations in terms of reality.

    Isolda is the protagonist from one of my favorite poems by Ukrainian poet Lesya Ukraiinka. The character is based off Iseult of the White Hands from the medieval romance of Tristan and Iseult.

    but aren't we focusing on INTp concepts here, which would be formed by applying Ni to dynamic information? I have no doubt that Ti dominated concepts of god/religion would take a vastly different form, for instance

    Ritella, I think you just don't like your ideas being questioned.
    God in my opinion is a way of describing the laws of the universe. And also a way of explaining parts of the universe we don't understand. when you talk hear someone talk about god, you will usually be able to take the word god out and substitute in there 'the laws of the universe', modify the tenses of the sentence... then you will be left with a perfectly logical sentence.

    wait, are you saying that you think someone's MBTT type is the same as their socionics type, or just that since this is a socionics forum, you don't see the need to use the "INTp" convention to signify you're referring to the socionics type and not the MBTT type?

    God = The Unmoved Mover. I.e. that which is the cause of everything else, but in itself is not the effect of anything else.

    The Unmoved Mover is beyond time and space(, as it is the creator of time and space). Therefore it is utterly impossible for leading Ni-types (in casu: ILIs) to come to an understanding of God.

    Assuming we go with this whole unmoved mover bit
    He is also beyond matter and energy... so why isolate Ni?
    And how have you come to understand him anyway?
    More like, it is impossible to understand using an information element.

    So why isolate Ni? Could it be because the title of this thread is "INTp concept of God" ??

    Anyway, I agree: to understand God (whatever that is) one has to be omniscient like God, i.e. one has to be God. So anyone claiming to know or understand God, is simply deluded. At some stage, one has to accept the fact that many things are ultimately unknowable. But people typically can't live with uncertainty, so they fill up the gaps in their knowledge anyway.

    To the other guy: You didn't modify the context of the sentence, but yes I'd have to agree with the basic message that america rapes the universe.

    ...anyway:
    So you are discussing now that it is impossible to understand god, simply because god is omniscient, and we are not? I don't think I agree with this, because we can have an awareness of the potential for omniscience, kind of like I can know it is possible to know something without knowing it; but aside from getting into that, since this discussion is about how INTps believe they understand God; regardless of whether they are correct in their understanding, I don't see how this matters.

    You are right: humans aren't rational animals. Even better, we are not rational at all, although many of us like to believe rationality is the defining characteristic of human beings. Te is good only for simple things, such as replacing light bulbs and stuff. It should not be used for existential questions.

    Existential questions are addressed with a perceiving function. Since the functions work in blocks, your statement is misleading and pointless. (and besides, it also applies to Ti, Fe, & Fi)
    You are also misusing the word rational. You can be completely rational, and completely wrong at the same time. Get it?
    That we can't glimpse all of reality (& this is your assumption, it's gone undiscussed), does not mean we incapable of being rational. It means we are incapable of being completely correct.
    All in all, you could use a little more Te the next time you write a paragraph

    Rationalty, in my dictionary, is not an attribute of human beings, it is simply a coping method, a skill, if you will. Very much like the speed at which a cheetah runs, or a pack of lionesses hunt down their preys. We use rational thought processes in order to solve problems, but we are not rational in the sense that it sets us apart from other animals.

    To say it differently: rationality is an overrated aspect of human beings. We think it is the answer to all our problems, but it isn't.

    As far of my usage of Te: like I said, I use it to change light bulbs, or program web sites and stuff, but beyond that, I have no use for it. Been there, done that, it doesn't work (at least, it doesn't for me).

    You didn't actually address the issue, and you also contradicted yourself.
    But you did talk a bit about cheetahs. ...
    I definitely do not think rationality is the answer to all our problems.
    I wonder who would be willing to stand up and say they thought such a thing?
    I think most perceiving types would bat this down quickly.

    In respect to rationality, you failed on the following points:
    Rationality is not confined to Te. It also is an aspect of Ti, Fi, and Fe.
    Rationality is not necessary for everything, but it is necessary for some things; and much more than mundane tasks like changing light bulbs.
    The process of checking for errors or flaws, the awareness of conflict, the establishment of security, the fundamental ability to compare... these are rational processes.
