Socionics' Quadra titles and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World

[Pa3s]

In Brave New World these titles only exist to indicate a person's abilities.

In socionics they don't.

If you have nothing relevant to add, don't post. Simple as that. If you have an opinion, explain yourself.

Also:

why do you laugh laghlagh

I found Kassie's comment highly insightful.

I don't understand why you guys have to come in here and contaminate shit. All I'm asking for is relevant discussion, if you can't provide that, just don't even post. There are tons of other threads to wank in, seriously.

Just let the damn thread die on it's own, if it's really that stupid of a topic. I know "Socionics is srs business", "ur butthurt blah blah" but damn, I mean come on? Grow up.

I don't really see a basis for discussion in your thread title. It's just a coincidence that both systems use the same terms. I guess there is not much more to say about it.

More than having the same terms, look at the associations.

In Brave New World:
Alpha/Beta are the intellectuals, specifically Alpha. Grounds for / bias.

Gamma/Delta are the mechanical types, lower-class and industrial. Grounds for / bias.


Is the similarity not at all apparent?

I was under the impression that this wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

If, in fact, it is supposed to be taken seriously then I am going to continue on not taking it seriously, since seriously is not something with which I can take this thread.

I don't think this is an appropriate connection. You're forgetting that Gamma also has NTs who are highly intellectual and theoretic for example.

Yea, but there's a difference between Alpha NT intellect and Gamma NT intellect. What I'm saying is that Alpha NT intellect is the Alpha caste intellect of Brave New World, not one a 1:1 correlation, of course, but that there are similarities.

I'm curious as to how these two sets of Quadras - one fictional and one non-fictional, came to be this similar, even if only on the surface through denotation.

And in Brave New World, these titles make a statement about the quality and the abilities of the people. That means Gammas/Deltas just have mechanical jobs because they're not capable of doing something else.

Yea I know, but I think the assignment of mechanical jobs can be related to , or "Work" in the IM element sense. Whereas the Alphas and Betas of Brave New World do not have such a heavy concentration of industriousness because of /.

And why do you think / is connected to an intellectual bias? That would also apply to Alpha-SFs and they're not the typical intellectuals imho.

Basically, it's just a coincidence and nothing more.

I'd be hard-pressed to believe I'm the only one who's aware of the intellectual bias of / as they relate to the Alphas in Socionics, and also the factory & mass production machinist biases of / as they relate to Gamma and Delta.

 

no, based on what you've presented it is not apparent. i would ask for clarification, but i don't see the point. see, here would have been a perfect opportunity to use Te by connecting your ideas to some kind of external anchor and explaining your thought process. but you didn't. why do you consistently forget to use your creative function?

Why do you have to make it personal? My type is not the topic of this thread. If you want an explanation of the OP, just ask. If you have any ideas of your own, based on the thread's title, put them down.

no, just no

Do you have any expertise with either Socionics or Brave New World? Then speak your piece and contribute. Don't condescend and spam my thread like an asshole.

I was under the impression that this wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

Why? Because I'm the thread's creator? Because of the topic? Because of the content? Because of the subsequent joke posts after the OP?

Come on dude, use your better judgment. In any case, you're either discriminating me for past situations or you're being a sheep following the crowd. Don't be an ass.

If, in fact, it is supposed to be taken seriously then I am going to continue on not taking it seriously, since seriously is not something with which I can take this thread.

So be it, but if you won't contribute productively to the topic, I'd like it if you not fill this thread with BS.
