Question for ILIs and whoever else reads this

[Aeris]

I'm not even sure it matters all that much as long as long as my mental capacity is at least average. I've always thought I'm smart and rational, however, just recently I've realized what I defined as rational might be flawed and that unsettled me a little bit. I have this LSI colleague who is probably unanimously and silently considered the smartest person in the group and the only one I respect. While most of the things he says and his solution to problems are concurrent to my thoughts, I find his logic to be "pure", while mine would be pseudo. His arguments are solely logical while I might use something pseudo-rational , slightly poetic and beautifully put as an argument. I might be equally convinced by plain logic as I am touched by beautifully said things used pretentiously as arguments and until recently I unconsciously thought everyone else is too. Realizing I have or had this huge vulnerability and flaw in reasoning and that it could have gone on undetected for who knows how long is deeply unsettling. I wonder if it's an ILI thing making them vulnerable to the arguments of their TI lacking dual or it's simply a me thing. I suppose that would be the gist of it, not that IQ has much to do with it.

Hm, I honestly don't believe in "flaws" anymore, just personality traits that are judged by individuals based on their needs and likes as either "quality" or "flaw".

LSIs are very... Ti, I have no other word really, this logic thing is their operating system, so yes, they do it better than you, does not mean they have everything and you have nothing interesting to offer the world. It can be cruely easy to look up to someone and want to be like them, and you will never be like them.
Yes, you can learn from them. Some people will prefer them, but some will prefer you. There are people who will look up to you with the same kind of thoughts you have towards this LSI, and he likely thinks that of someone too.
Maybe, people don't see him the way you do, have you heard them say so? "probably unanimously and silently" sounds hazy to me.

...pseudo-Ti can describe ILIs well because of demonstrative Ti... weird bubble, anyhoo.

So you like peotic, beautiful phrasing, cool. Enjoy it.
Some people pay for that.

Logic does not make the world go round, it goes round on its own.

At first, I read SLI, not LSI and I was confused as fuck.
