To balance the now extinct War Thread, I wish now to offer a Peace Thread. To kick it off, I wish to offer my reasons for starting the War Thread.
Firstly, part of the INTP description in Myers-Briggs is the interest in this personality preference to display the qualities of iconoclasticism. For the forum here, it seems to exist in a form that rails against things such as sexual conservatism, religious intolerance, economic and social inequality, et al. I did make a conscious decision when joining this forum a while back to deliver an image that, in part, railed also against the image of the iconoclast that is manifesting itself here as I understand it (and that, frankly, is all I’ve got to work with in the end…so please know that I agree with any claims that I do not know “ALL”).
Secondly, the Myers-Briggs description of the INTP is one who, when it comes to interacting with the world, prefers to offer intuition and feeling so that thinking and sensing can remain unmolested in its preference for introversion in such a way as to display the qualities of Perception. This is where I understand that some members here are offering the interesting notion that I am displaying something more akin an INTJ personality preference rather than INTP – that I am not truly offering intuition and feeling to the forum in a manner that indicates openness and flexibility, but thinking and strong judgment instead. I wanted to "feel" these assertions out in an unorthodox manner.
Lastly, there is something that I did not wish to share with most members of this forum – I possess an understanding of myself and the world that has very little of the likeness that my understanding displayed when I was in my late teens and early twenties. You could say that there is little of me that is “young at heart” now. I revealed this early on because I do not believe that I am able to pull off the claim that I’m still a teenager. :lol: But I think it is challenging the younger members here to picture someone who is older but is searching for answers to life just the same.
So I wanted to give these things a shot, to see how my intuition and feeling functions, when extraverted, would work when posting the first things that came to me. It was an interesting experience, to say the least.
As we all do, I have my ideas of people, the world, right, wrong, love, happiness, religion, politics, Jung’s psychological types and MBTI, et al...even if they remain open-ended. But as they are not the same now as they were when I was young, as I get older my ideas will undoubtedly change with me as I continue to learn and grow. So please accept this lengthy post as my offer for Peace amongst any member of this forum who I have intentionally or unintentionally offended through my now extinct war thread.
