And the bruised ego surfaces. You can bring more to the plate - I asked for that in the opening question as well. I've dismissed you once - I'm done debating with you.Personally, I'd expect an open-minded person to just accept the free knowledge and use it to improve future trials.
But no, Se has physical dominance to establish. ("You're an idiot", "You're dismissed", "You're trolling". Carry on reading the immediate surface meaning, cause if it ain't right there jumpin' out at ya, it ain't happenin', right?)
If you want to discover greater depth of open-mindedness, my Ni-inferior little friend, I'd recommend that you check your S-ego at the door and stop interpreting everything as a call to arms.
EDIT: "You're not impressing anyone, least of all me." This is so telling. You're saying, "you're not making an immediate impression upon anyone in a concrete way, so why bother?"
And that's just the problem!
You're persistance leaves me to stick you on block. Before i do -Are you not picking up any relevant points from this?
Do you need it spelled out for you in plain ESTP language?
READ.BETWEEN.THE.LINES
If you want to be more open-minded, you need to stop doing precisely what you're doing now.
I'm illustrating the solution to the very issue you asked about, and you don't even notice it because Se has already picked up on "HE'S TRYING TO TALK SHIT" and gone into defensive mode, and so you're erroneously assuming that nothing I say has any value or applicability to the goal you seek.
And this is why you struggle with open-mindedness.
To people who are halfway intelligent on this forum
lol wow.
So you have no interest in open-mindedness?
And yet you think you can figure other people out with any meaningful context?
Se-riffic, you are amazing. <3
Take note, everybody--this is the guy who was just a moment ago busy telling you all what it looks like when someone demonstrates how to be an idiot.
He must be the finest judge.
All right, honest question:
The other person's good or bad responses aside...
What exactly are you trying to achieve?![]()
You're setting him up to have a reactionary response to anything you have to say... for most, if you taunt them and say things ye're pretty sure are inflammatory - they become much less likely to listen to what you have to say, to be open minded.
If it's for personal amusement, all I would personally do is shrug and go "Hmm, okay". But if you're honestly trying to contribute or show someone what they're saying might be different from what they're practicing...?
ESTPs are far and away my favorite type to fuck around with.
They tend to give such predictably hostile reactions; it's easy to manipulate them and create a show for other Ns who may happen to be watching as the ESTP swings and misses, swings and misses, swings and misses, all the while breaking everything in his path.
I love to create controlled chaos and that's what fucking with ESTPs does, especially over the internet where their physical prowess is a non-issue.
Bottom line, entertainment.
I love the simplicity. Love it.
I was too lazy to read the whole thing, so forgive me if I'm repeating someone else's point.
I often hear the misconception that being open-minded means considering all possibilities as equal, which I believe is false. I get this often from religious debates. To me, being open-minded simply means that, given adequate evidence countering a claim you made, you accept your initial claim to be false. This can be for anything.
For example: If, during a religious debate, you proclaim yourself to be an atheist due to the evidence you currently have, you are not being close-minded. However, if you found reasonable evidence that proves the existence of God, and you don't reevaluate your stance, you are being close-minded.
Basically, an open-minded person is open to the truth, regardless of whether or not it clashes with their current opinions or ideals.
If, per chance, MBTI is a complete fallacy....you are only fucking with yourself![]()
LOOOOOL. Are you for real?The interesting thing about game playing is how relentless it is.
The game player doesn't get bored because he repeats the game over and over again.. And this is the point. As it is the repetition that induces the trance of the game.
And it really works, the game player is entranced and so is in a good position to induce he same trance in others.
And just as alcoholics like drinking companions, game players need companions to play the game.
The price game players pay is heavy - and the price is personal authenticity and genuine relationships with others.
But the heaviest price is paid by the children of game players, just as the children of alcoholics pay a heavy price.
But just like alcoholics, game players can't stop and don't want to stop.
MBTI is theoretical. Only 'theoretically' are you fucking with a certain group of people. If, per chance, MBTI is a complete fallacy....you are only fucking with yourself![]()
LOOOOOL. Are you for real?
What you've described is a gaming fanatic. They shouldn't be confused with a sane gamer - like myself.
I could go into a long winded rant - but it often goes on deaf ears. Quite frankly, I'm beginning to think you speak mostly hot air. Rather, instead, I'll just say it's DUMB to compare an alcoholic's addiction to a gamer. A sane gamer oft is a caffeine addict if anything.
