A somewhat indirect response but yeah, that's exactly my point. You never know until you try and all that. The big problem is people tend to think/act as if the interpretive dance is the equivalent of a technical engineer's manual for how a given widget works.
This is likely why I seem to keep finding out that Gamma and Delta types are seemingly more amenable to attachment theory, how and why it works the way it does, and why it deserves more attention. We are the "applied" engineers here. The
/
axis is perfectly fine with "good enough" as a philosophy. A "full" and "neutral" understanding as
demands is ultimately nice to have yet also unnecessary in our eyes. Keep it simple stupid. If it works than who the fuck cares about anything else? You can figure out the
/
stuff later. Right now? Now there's a big friggin' problem and it needs to be dealt with right the fuck now and to hell with some rando's "feelings" on the matter!
For the
/
types, well, they give a fuck about who cares and that frustrates them in their interactions with the others. The last part of the former paragraph reeks of some arrogant asshole who is likely about to go for a "solution" that has exactly zero chance of success! Their short-sightedness and disregard for the "community" will doom us all!
Hell. This is basically the direct lament of the author of a book I'm currently reading about this. The "Researchers" are going hard on this while the "Humanists" and others who are most prone to becoming actual practicing therapists have and are waving them off as quacks and crazies. (Funny enough I started getting into this due to my reading of what I think is a Gamma SF social type who just so happened to also be a practicing psychotherapist).
Why? Well, let's put it this way. If an "applied" engineer smells anything that remotely reminds them of a cache of top-notch duct tape, WD40, and some downright artisan crafted pipe/adjustable wrenches you can bet your left nut they'll pursue that even if they aren't technically part of that field because, as fellow applied engineers, they'd have really appreciated it if someone had handed them such a cache when they first started.
I think the conflict between
and
is what's really holding these insights back if I must be honest. I think I'm liking the work I'm currently reading as it's a
type trying to get and apply what a
type is (or rather, would) be applying if they shared the same profession. Y'know, a technical engineer trying to translate to his fellow technical engineers what the applied engineers are saying to them in such a way that won't piss them off and/or offend their innate sensibilities. After all, "Percussive Maintenace" is a cardinal sin amongst the technical crowd while it's a holy sacrament among the applied crowd. Hitting it really hard tends to yield positive results more often than not in my experience but hey, I get the supposed risk of damaging the overall mechanism it entails and why they'd worry so much about that. Good think I know exactly how to bash that engine nice and gentile
