I thought everyone knew by now that my type is clearly INTp. I never trust the written word. I always, only trust my own judgment, which is based on very often extremely critical thinking. I can assure you (or well, probably not ...) that there is much more critical thinking in me than there is in you (based primarily on what you have written about souls and colour preferences).Faedrus, what is your type? I do not feel much of a critical thinking within you. How can you trust the writtten word like that?
Of course not. We should not assume that just because someone says it. I have never said that. But we should assume, if not the evidence clearly indicates otherwise, that others believe that what they say is true.We do not have to assume what others say is true.
No, definitely not. We should try to find the objective truth. We should always critically examine our own belief systems, and the fact that we want to believe in something is not a good argument for the truth of it. It is a widespread phenomenon nowadays that people think that they should earn respect for their opinion regardless of what they happen to believe in. The truth is that they shouldn't. We should criticize every belief that we find questionable, but in that process our critical arguments should, of course, also be criticized. Whether something is a good argument or not is not up to you, or me, or anyone else to decide. Arguments are good or bad objectively, and the conclusions we draw from our premises are objectively valid or invalid. But not all men are made equal when it comes to determine if an argument or a conclusion is objectively valid or not.We have to find our own truth.
I agree.You can be a higly moral person without being religious and on the opposite.
Good characterization! Start learning from me, folks!INTPs are devil's advocates, distance themselves from any point of view and throwing doubts everywhere - "shooting down" any bird that fly.
A true critical standpoint - we have to learn this from them.
Good! That could be very interesting.And I would like to discuss furhter the artical of Sergey Ganin about the difference about INTPs and INTJ: what is true and what is not? Does anybody wants to have a go? We could open a new topic for it.
