How does Ne show for SJ types?.
Can't speak for everyone else, but for me, badly.
I mean, sure, I can make all these connections about possibilities, but the thing is, at the heart of it I'm really not an optimist. Especially since Si dom says, "Here's all the examples of shit going badly, in all of humanity's history, not just your personal history."
I just linked somebody else
this video today, and it describes my viewpoint about the past (and, therefore, the entire world); it's one cosmic mess since the beginning, and the realistic way is simply to say, "okay, this sucks, let's not speculate too much on unrealistic things because it's going to be just messy. I don't see why we can't just look at what we have, say 'we're in this for the long haul', and try to make it as okay as possible and just not... plant all these narratives of progression or regression onto it." If that sounds unimaginative, then that's fine. But I think ultimately even this idea seems way too radical for most of humanity to accept, and therein lies the paradox; people are always trying to impose some kind of narrative, some kind of symbollic order, some kind of unlimited potentialities on the world. But that's not how I think it works.
