S is not being with the "masses"... haha..
Sure it is. S's are 75-80% of the population. To the N's of the world (the minority by a margin of 3 to 1, or 4 to 1), S's are absolutely the "masses". Don't take it as a put down, it's just a fact. There's a lot more of you than there are of me.
It's simply preferring to experience the sensory world (and as far as i'm concerned, there are not other optional worlds at the moment).
Sounds like you are minimalizing the skills of N's. We live in the same world as you do (and we aren't trying to convince anyone of alien life on another planet), but we view things differently than you guys, that's all. We know that the sensory world is important (we don't deny that), but it's not the only thing. We don't have to see, touch, taste, feel, or hear something in order to know that it's there. We read between the lines, we understand very quickly the mood, the aura, the atmosphere, and what is happening around us based on those types of things. We can walk into a room of people we've never seen before and know right away that something really strange is going on, or that people are uncomfortable, or that there is danger in the air. This example has been used time and time again, but I'll use it again. Sensors only know that a cop is a mile ahead of them clocking people on his radar gun if they see the cop, or if they hear the radar detector on their dashboard beep. Intuitives just know that "something seems fishy" and we slow down. Then when we pass the cop, we know why we had that feeling. I don't expect you to fully understand it, being that you put so much stock in the sensory world, but ask just about any intuitive and they'll probably agree, more or less.
Another way of looking at it is this: sensors do things all the time and I can watch them or listen to what they say and immediately know what their intentions are. They say something and I know their motive. I don't just listen to what they physically said, but I also read "underneath" what they said. Why would they say something like that? Ohhhh, they're trying to hide what happened last week and so they're covering it up. Blah, blah, blah. We don't just see the simple words. That's only the first layer. There's so much more to it when someone talks or acts. We are able to make those connections - connecting the dots and seeing the patterns of "why" things are happening the way they are in the world or in people.
So, same world, but different skills. Believe it.
