Could you Ni types give examples of Ni as expressed in popular media? i.e. in films, music, TV, books etc.

Just so I can get a better idea of what exactly is going on with this function. :)

Listen to Tool and A Perfect Circle. :D

Also Alice in Wonderland.

I would say pretty much anything that requires you to totally change your mind set to fully appreciate and understand. Reading the complete works of Lewis Carrol is like Chicken Soup for the Ni soul for me. :ninja:

Avant-garde are the words you're looking for.

I'd rather describe Ne as avant-garde actually.

I saw Lars von Trier's film Antichrist over Halloween weekend and that was some grisly Ni. The reimagined Battlestar Galactica was very Ni heavy as well.

Wait, House, really? The funniest xNTP evar? I'm not sure that's Ni you're talking about, but I'd love to hear an explanation.

Ni = interpolating
Ne = extrapolating

Heh, judging by this thread I don't think we can agree what represents Ni and what represents Ne. ;)

A trippy film that's a good mish-mash between Ne and Ni is Paprika. Paprika is a NJ trapped in an NP world.

Just to contrast this is a basically Se film laced with Ni from Apacalypto, it's very physical and mythic at the same time. I get this same impression from BSG, which I mentioned earlier.
