I remember reading a lot that types who have a highly placed Si (like ISTJ's for example) must be very interested in history and are more inclined to follow traditions.
However, (I don't think I'm an ISTJ btw), I noticed there's two ways and reasons you can be attracted to history and traditions.
Reason 1: because you feel attracted to how things were done in the past, you have faith in your ancestors and/or want to respect them, you want to continue what has already been established/done.
Reason 2: you don't care how things were and what has been done or established, but you seek pursue/exercise/attain/create "timeless" things (like classical music, classical clothes, classical jewelry, classical knowledge) because you find mental security and comfort in things that exist "outside of time" or are "immortal" and "everlasting", can't "age" and can't be "discarded" by anyone in the past nor future.
The reason #2 I described above is heavily influential on my decision-making whenever I try to attain anything new in life, be it knowledge or physical items or status. (the only place I don't apply it to is food)
Do you think this focus on "timelessness"/"immortality"/"invulnerability to the vogue" regardless of past and future, also provoked by Si, or it's a different function/group-of-functions that causes this?
