I suddenly pictured having dinner at a restaurant with "No Fe."

Jag: I'll have the filet mignon, please.

Waiter: Fuck you, asshole! Get it yourself! I'm not your goddamn servant!
:D

I'm assuming SimWorld is the waiter at the restaurant? :laugh: :newwink:

I could be wrong but this is totally Fe reaction.

Yes. Since the Te makes sure that you see that as soon as you go against the "system" you are risking collapse which will probably lead to your death.

Also just because there is no Fe that does not apply that the concept of community is out of the equation. It is just that people would be far more reserved towards each other.


Place a number of IxTJs in one place and you will see this dynamic at work.

My intuitive guess: NTPs more likely to be active contributors to open source...they like their little community where people show loyalties to little projects that no one makes any money on :laugh:


Hmm this is very interesting. It makes sense.

To keep with Babylon's idea, I see a Fe world view as perpetuating and engaging prosocial and eusocial attitudes and behavior.

I think that an environment devoid of Fe, but full of healthy Te and Fi would seem like a bunch of independent city-states strung together only working with each other to increase trade or business or something but without a real sense of interconnectedness or community.

I could be wrong but this is totally Fe reaction.

Fe is as much about DIS-loyalty as it is loyalty. Fe people think just as much about who is NOT on their team as much as who is... (so yes the waiter could still be inline with a macro Fe world view)

I don't think a lack of Fe is inherently negative, if anything it's neutral, and that's it. Complete depersonalization.

In Jaguar's example, the waiter's response would just be "Okay." And Jaguar wouldn't have said please :D

Wrong.

He may or may not have said please, depending on whether or not it's an Fi value of his, or whether or not his Te told him, "you'd better say please, or you might hurt your chances for world domination."

Fi. It's utterly useless in order to accomplish stuff in this world.

I would however refuse to live in a world without it, as there is no meaning to life at that point. Fi lights the path on this journey called life. Without it, there's no point in making that trip as you'd miss out on the greatest part of it.

my thoughts on Fe... if I didn't get to feel Fe oozing around society I really don't see a point in calling it a society or bothering to live in it! :laugh:

I really think that people are being intentionally obtuse stereotypes here without thinking before typing :rolli:

now, feel free to be as idiotic as you'd like, I'm really quite tired of listening to underdeveloped types whining about why they have to put up with being nice :sick:

Motivation is Fi. Without Fi there is no goals.

I think that you are taking this thread too seriously.

I don't disagree. In fact, I wholeheartedly agree, even, especially in my case. But most people don't even *know* why they are motivated to keep things in order or do what the boss says. It's just how it's done, that's all they know. As long as someone tells them to do something, they will still do it, if it gets them security and something to do. Fi *is* useless, in that respect, at least to them. They use a sliver of it and don't even know it. So..when it comes down to getting things done and accomplished in life...Fi isn't the most useful thing to have around as you need the bare minimum, it would appear to get things done. Not the case with the other functions.

he's not getting any here... I only like men who can display a reasonable sense of Fe :rolleyes:

Damn girl why you gotta be hatin'. That ain't Fe like. It's hard enough for a brother gettin' your cell phone jacked every other week.
