What you focus on besides typology and your past, present and future focuses

[Braingel]

In light of what’s happened to me on the forum with harassment, I have decided I would start of this, to take my mind off of all this mishap…

I am sure that people can access or answer in member questionnaires, but I want make this more free-ended, and also capturing all past, present and future..

You may share anything, from intangible means, physical means or even just things you outright like (like video games, a certain brand or food).. Which technically is also something intangible, but it is even more personal to oneself, and therefore, more specific..

I will be answering this my own self when I am less burnt… I would write more, but Qaz has drained me a lot… (Whilst he only said two things in the past two days, he has taken a toll upon me overtime and has violated my boundaries).. You may also use this thread a sort of journal entry for things you are focusing upon now, and how it has unfolded and developed as you have..

Honestly, in the latest months I'm worried about a potential war in Europe. I travel around Europe a lot for work, and I see the signs.

I have a good life and I've got too much to lose.

I focus on my stomach because I am horny.

[Braingel]

Right now, I am going to go in the jacuzzi and decompress from my complex ptsd filled day.. And later, I am going write here about my societal vision and movement, aromatherapy, short stories and poems, societal reform, spiritual system/philosophy I made, and other things I’ve averted upon….

Honestly? Trying to cut through the Gordian Knot that is modern dating.

I've hit a paradox moment here. Good, securely (or at least nearly securely) attached individuals have no mechanism with which to meet each other. It's a lottery out there and the whole damn system has been custom built to ensure the two shall never meet. Whether you be some pretty sane and based Gamer girl or a dude taking the Iron Pill and trying to get cut and shredded because, let's be honest folks, being "hot" pays dividends for men as much as it does for women...

You'll never meet each other. The girl never hits the gym yet still is at a healthy weight and the dude won't exactly be barging into private residences. You'd likely hit it off and share many an interest. Hell the dude might log onto an MMO for an hour or two each day because that's how he likes to unwind. But are you both on the same server, joined the same faction, and happened to be in the same guild? No? Never met. Soulmates never meant to be for want of logging on at the right time and place...

Also I hate to be the bearer of bad news but cold approaching for men is now effectively illegal in the Western World. A man cannot just go to a more female space, look for IOI's, and hit on the girls who are clearly interested in him because of the non-zero chance there's an evil witch who wants him to hit on her so she can claim sexual assault which will ruin his whole damn life going forward. That shit happens and it's why men aren't paying attention to any women anymore. A mere glance risks ruin and they are frustrated and mad about this. I'm not a misogynist anymore but damnit am I close to relapsing after seeing these dumb bitches complain about it. What the fuck did you expect to happen ya bimbos!

The "game" has been set to impossible/nightmare/mythic difficulty and been forced upon complete newbs who haven't a clue of what genre of game they're playing. This will end soon, but I fear it will be in the worst way for all involved. If I can find a way to keep that from happening I'll have done the world a huge favor. Plus I'd get a wife and kids out of the deal so yeah that's also great.

Sure, we invented it (my father and all his family are from Rome)

Mostly worried about money. Working on snagging a second job to be able to save money again and protect against the outrageous inflation. My household no longer qualifies for ACA because we make too much, but the cost of living in Florida is beyond outrageous. Our "too much" is not enough to survive on long as these stupid fucks keep moving here and fucking shit up for those of us who have been here our whole lives.
Other than that, I worry about where the U.S. is headed. Karma is a bitch and aiding and abetting genocide will not spell prosperity for this country. Then there's the whole thing with both primary candidates being pro-fascism.
Most days it feels like I am drowning and helpless, but I keep praying for a way to somehow rise above it. I intend to exhaust every option if need be.

When I'm not on the forum, I focus on work. That's about all I do.

All of my hobbies relate to work. Or perhaps, all of my work relates to my hobbies. My interests, like my work, have remained pretty constant over the years. Light is my religion, and designing perfect mechanisms is my sacrament.

A theme which runs throughout my life is "make the most money, in an interesting way, for the least amount of unwelcome effort." Much to my surprise, this theme (and a huge amount of luck) has made me financially secure. At this point, I don't ever expect to run out of money, no matter what I do or don't do.

Becoming financially secure was also a surprise to me; I never really sought it as a goal, nor did I ever expect to achieve it, but here I am. I'm no longer primarily motivated to work for money.

But since my Fi is so low and I have no idea what I value, I have no idea what I should work for, other than money.

My Duals often work to improve Humanity. But as for me, I feel that, while I could help these people, I don't want to.

I am also decently financially secure. It kind of happened overnight. I work to give other people (who were less lucky) work.

Hahahaha! My own experience is the exact opposite! I guess this is because for an ILI their is both alien to others yet utterly fundamental if one wants to understand why they do what they do.

Fool. You know exactly what you want from the world yet lack the courage to simply say it out loud to everyone around you regardless of the cost. You don't want to because it makes zero logical sense to do so.

This is a critical difference between "mirror" relations and why they can and do come into conflict. They see the world in the same way Ceterus Paribus, but it is the "nuance" that truly distinguishes them.

What "is" money really my dude? What do you work for? Why do you care about that if you think Money is the ultimate end of all your actions?

I'm a college student , so, as an obvious answer, my life revolves around lectures, making friends (and starting conversations ) with girls in college

Other than that, there is relaxing at home, eating, surfing the net , learning how to cook and helping mom with some housekeeping sometimes

I recently had a focus and interest in open source softwares , I installed and tried some of them on my phone and I thoughts about replacing my phone's operating system with another system for many reasons

I don't remember everything because my interests are constantly changing , and none of them is constant except for the love of technology, chess and languages

I was also interested in having a healthier lifestyle than before

As for the future, it's a little complicated and long to talk about it , although I don't care much about it, so I will summarize by saying that I'm learning all the skills that might benefit me later

[fauxpunk]

Recently I've been focusing more on establishing routines for myself... I've been trying to commit to studying languages more (and I'm having a lot of fun!!) and doing more tangible work in the real world. I guess I'm also socializing a lot, as per usual lol. I tried to take a break from socializing for a week and I ended up only being able to hold out for 2 days... curse my extroversion . I just like talking to people.

[Braingel]

I’m gonna try access Akashic records.. And try teach others how to do it.. would be the ultimate way to show others about my family dynamics and they can’t discredit me anymore. And some other things, like how I made my own ideas.. I can never be invalidated ever again, then, by a person who has accessed such records.

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

working on making my video game. spending time with family, bbqing outside, pretending to be a normie etc.

I don't try to focus on typology much at all. I don't think it's bullshit or anything, it has a lot of truth and explains things well- but it comes to a point where it's just feels like regurgitating everything I already know. I already know I do plenty of stereotypical iei-ish things, and yes I dualize well with SLE thugs and SLE soccer dads and clash with LSE asshole cuntservative republicant businessmen/women. I already know that u can personally get along with people from opposing quadras and don't like people in ur own quadra etc., even though the generalities are still true. (I love IEE @Kim still <3) I don't really care. I yam what I yam.

[necrosebud]

Like I’ve always done psychology by default

Jun 12:

Reflecting back, when it comes to Te-Se there's always a sense that this is something I have to do as an adult. I've never been fully engaged with the external world. But recently I got a revelation that if I want to be fully in my internal world without feeling escaping/inauthenticity, I have to be fully in the external world. Otherwise, the restlessness will transfer into both worlds. Will throw my password away and let myself fully engaged with people and the world.

Jun 9 update:

finished the current comics. For the next one, will do drawings first.

For the next week: focus on studying the textbook, how to get the sense that I've actually learned?

---------------------------------------------------------------
Jun 5 update:

Drawing and stories: Talked with some SLIs and IEIs and confirmed something about the source of the problem. I have been projecting the final result and tried to "save time" by structuring the first draft like the desired final product, which means I have to fill in a lot of scenes necessary for the overall structure but I don't know/don't feel anything towards. I dread writing/drawing them.

Instead, I should just write/draw what I know/want to do in the first draft, stop thinking about how much editing I need to do later. Getting involved in the first draft is the key.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently having an existential crisis about how I approach my drawing (comics story). How to balance speed and accuracy, how I thought they are supposed to look like, what actually motivate me, how to change the process, etc.

Preparing for going back to school (after years of working) by reviewing/previewing physics textbooks. Have updated my study methods over the previous year, but still felt overwhelmed during the term.

Learning python (goal is using it to process data in some physics and engineering courses and then research). FreeCodeCamp is very user friendly and I don't need to come up with any process myself.

Learning to be with people, improving various areas of my life, etc. Recently found that multitasking is only working for me if there's outside pressure, else it's better to focus on a single task one at a time.

Carlson Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It's the Gamma version of the art. I mean this literally there is another school but Carlson Gracie actively acknowledges that "Yeah we compete and all but in a real fight ain't no such thing as an illegal move" and it's mentioned, joked about, and gently demonstrated on a regular basis.

You can't just punch your opponent in the face in an official match or during Open Mat. We do, however, acknowledge that we're all holding back quite a bit in that setting just as the late great Bruce Lee did. Again, in a real fight nothing is illegal or disqualifying. There is only Victory or defeat. Defeat often means death.

Be meaner than IT. Go for the carotid. Choke that fucker out! Perform amateur Chiropractory on the people who hate you! Dislocate the shoulders of giants who dared to underestimate the "pipsqueak" who thought that 80 lbs of muscle mass could overcome such things as leverage, the laws of physics, and their own hubris.

As I have recently demonstrated to other people. You being "bigger" than me doesn't count for shit once I've got the angle right. They cannot win once you've landed the arm bar or the blood choke correctly.

It’s known that women on average can be more lethal than men in in body fight due to agility

[one]

It's actually hard to focus on typology now. It just doesn't fit the things I like doing. When I think of typology I feel like my mind gets rewired and become hazy.

[Exodus]

Mostly math lately. I'm working on math related to socionics and other math that is related more to physics and geometry, but there are connections.

[End]

It’s known that women on average can be more lethal than men in in body fight due to agility

Can they hang? Yes. BJJ is a dueling art focused on the things I mentioned and those things aren't gender specific. David vs. Goliath is literally biblical for a reason. David can and will beat Goliath if David remains calm, cool, and collected while trusting in his training.

More Lethal though? Yeah no. Not unless we're figuring in things like seduction, poison, and other traditionally "feminine" force multipliers. That "agility" advantage you mention isn't all that great for most women. Yeah, female professional gymnasts tend to be more agile than their male counterparts but the difference isn't all that great if you really break it down and hell let's be honest about this. A Fat chick isn't gonna out agility an otherwise average but thin man.

Also, body fight? Yeah, also no. Brute Force is a thing and it works. I learned recently that my instinct to interlace my fingers when making a grip is dead wrong the hard way. You will literally joint lock yourself WHEN the other person does what they also do instinctually and try to brute force their way out of your grips. And that's in a peer competition. In a male vs. female competition (i.e. the equivalent of a featherweight taking on a heavyweight) you'd just break their fingers into tiny bits!!!

Feminism is bullshit on all counts. Learn this lesson here the easy way or get taught the hard way. I'm open minded enough to admit when I'm wrong. Hence why my fingers remain unbroken when another bro gently showed me why interlacing my fingers was as good an idea as trying to invade Russia during the winter. Look up how that went every time some idiot tried it.

beginning to engage with philosophy. actually , typology serves as a warm segue into the field

it just seems like the world does not make sense , my job to find out some answers.

Story of my life for the past 20 years. Finally reached a point where it did.

I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't recoil from any uncomfortable truths. Accept them as you find them. The truth of humanity's Fallen Nature is one of them. Even the ILI atheist Jean-Paul Sartre agreed with the Catholic Church on that teaching despite hating said church. I'd argue it's the first step you must take towards the goal of true knowledge about the world and how it actually works. People are not inherently good! As heresies come in pairs don't go down the opposite road. We are not inherently evil either! One of my favorite songs is "Heaven and Hell" by the legend Ronnie James Dio. Here's a lyrics video:



I of course had the advantage of being Catholic by reason. Tried to argue against it deductively. Failed. If you're more into inductive reasoning look up the Eucharistic Miracles. Many happened in modern times and thus got examined with modern Scientific Methods. The results were what I expected and I only discovered them a few months ago so I was already well on my way in this regard.

[leckysupport]

In general interests have mostly been: Leftist politics->architecture->Libertarianism->socionics->international conflict/violence->philosophy (ancient/aesthetics/epistomology/ethics)->drugs->music production.

This doesn't include stuff for work or general life maintenance/success stuff which also get significance.

[necrosebud]

psychology, neuroscience, bio anthropology, film, creative writing as potential interests

all of these I have studied in some respect and the first two made majors out of

I even randomly went slightly into genetics and history (which I had never before) after my 23andme results came haha

i like prehistory more

hope I’m not forgetting anything

sometimes I have brief but intense stints with new interests

[necrosebud]

Oh and pop astrophysics because that’s been a thing also since I was very young

anythinf to do with universe, time, universe on a small scale, ideas that might push our conception of everything etc

not that I understands “physics” physics haha

[necrosebud]

I remember when I naively went in thinking I’ll be excited about my intro to philosophy class in undergrad

idk what it is about it it only appeals to me from a distant esp since it forms the backbone for all fields of study it’s kind of going to the very roots of something, anything you’re interested in

but these days I don’t even try to decipher something like whatever is on Stanford philosophy page or whatever the name is because I feel like I’m going into a bottomless hole (for me) haha

[necrosebud]

Example of what I mean https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/epistemology/

it multiple times erased everything I typed

Jun 13 update:

Still feel embarrassed by the poor drawing of the previous comics story. But yesterday and today when I draw the next story, the drawings become somehow better, and the speed is faster? Don't know how that happened. Guess drawing a lot helps?!

Instead of doing everything for a little bit, decide to focus on something that is most needed at current time.

a certain laziness: felt I could know a pose from imagination until coming up with a weird pose on paper. Need to be more diligent with reference or mirror
