By that standard, every scientist would be te, and every philosopher ti. Nietzsche is the pre-eminent INTJ, with his focus on perspectivism (ni), imposing your will upon the world (te), a personal code of morality that doesn't match Christianity or society (fi), and "saying yes to life" (se). In that order, no less. Typology has evolved a great deal since Jung, although he's still relevant. The idea that "atheistic naturalism" and having "the physical sciences" as your "primary domain of interest" makes you a te user is beyond ridiculous. Typology does not measure beliefs or interests. Period.
Wow, you have like the same exact ideologies as another Nietzchian who just joined this forum, and that person happens to be [MENTION=19898]Redkix[/MENTION].
I'm curious as to what you folks might think about my favorite philosopher, Giordano Bruno (who, like Nietzsche, challenged the old boundaries and laid foundations for self-mastery and a new world [and he also,
unlike Nietzsche, designed a blueprint as to the overall structure of our cosmos]).
Here's my favorite Bruno quote and poem below - if you don't mind, offer your opinions:
Thou art my delight and the warmth of my heart;
Thou makest me without fear of Fate or of Death;
Thou breakest the chains and bars
Whence few come forth free.
Seasons, years, months, days and hours
The children and weapons of Time and that Court
Where neither steel nor treasure avail
Have secured me from the fury of the foe.
Henceforth I spread confident wings to space;
I fear no barrier of crystal or of glass;
I cleave the heavens and soar to the infinite.
And while I rise from my own globe to others
And penetrate ever further through the eternal field,
That which others saw from afar, I leave far behind me.
"Unless you make yourself equal to God, you cannot understand God: for the like is not intelligible save to the like. Make yourself grow to a greatness beyond measure, by a bound free yourself from the body; raise yourself above all time, become Eternity; then you will understand God. Believe that nothing is impossible for you, think yourself immortal and capable of understanding all, all arts, all sciences, the nature of every living being. Mount higher than the highest height; descend lower than the lowest depth. Draw into yourself all sensations of everything created, fire and water, dry and moist, imagining that you are everywhere, on earth, in the sea, in the sky, that you are not yet born, in the maternal womb, adolescent, old, dead, beyond death. If you embrace in your thought all things at once, times, places, substances, qualities, quantities, you may understand God." - Giordano Bruno
Now, let's compare that with my favorite Nietzsche quote:
"The will is a world architect and composer, the will is a world power and mover. The world is shaped in the image of our wills and by the power of our wills. Will has essentially the nature of a force. Like all forces, will has a magnitude and a direction, and just like things move in the direction of the strongest force, things move in the direction of the strongest will. Whenever you loose something, you faced a greater will and were overpowered by it. If you want something to happen strongly enough, if the world wants something to happen strongly enough, then it is going to happen. The will is a creator. Will is a living organism, it grows and develops along with the individual. Weak individuals are characterized by a weak will or lack of will. Ill people are known by an ill will or a destructive will. Hence the presence and development of will is absolutely essential for personal and spiritual ascension. The key to the higher and diviner life is a strong and healthy will, a will to improve, a will to exceed, a will to life, but most importantly a will to ascend. The seed transforms into a flower by a will to ascend in the instrument. The will to ascend is an elevator to the higher levels of being, a key to unlock the higher potentials of life and a power to manifest them. I do want to climb a high mountain today!" - Friedrich Nietzsche
