    I should add the fact that I was amazed and happy when I first encountered the concept of a "proof", in 7th grade geometry class. I thought it was amazing. However, attempting to "prove" things rigorously is not my preferred approach.

    Gordian knot = Ti.
    Alexander = Te.
    I like the Gordian knot as an example but it's more like TeSe vs. Ti (or SEE vs LII if you will). Similarly "get to the point" is a kind of impatient Se response, typically to Ne information.

    I have met people who just somehow decide something and then settle on it very quickly and that always bothers me because I want to make sure it won't fuck something else up first. Sometimes that "gap" has inconsequential risks associated with it, sometimes it's symptomatic of a blind spot that will and has caused significant problems.

    I have no idea what this means in regard to Ti/Te but I wanted to throw it out there since it seems related.
    You seem to be focusing on the Se part and how it means having a lack of Ni.
