A good visual demo of how intuition works and the differences between internal and external intuition.

So, I knew Leo was an INTP before I joined this forum. He is textbook INTP. If you understand the MBTI functions, it's clear why people like Leo, and likely Aurum, operate the way they do. Their cognitive functions propel them toward open-ended, expansive exploration, and guess what - that's a bias! When someone like an INTJ comes along and says "here's the actual dominant factor worth considering for practical purposes, so you can omit all the minute factors, the INTP says "No no no. Too shallow." 😆 Ta daaa!! What’s often interpreted as Leo being dismissive or condescending is actually a natural expression of his INTP predisposition. the INTP typically explores reality more broadly than any other type. This is just what they do. And because others don't do it, they are biased against them. TBH, I too have a bias against people who are not like me. I think we all do to some extent. The specific combinations of Jung’s eight cognitive functions offer a far more precise and explanatory framework for understanding individual psychology than something like SD. "Understanding individuals through Spiral Dynamics is like diagnosing a single tree's health by studying satellite images of the forest — insightful from afar, but too zoomed out for real precision." I don't think you could truly know yourself if you don't understand the functions that you run on. I was living with Ni as my dominant function my whole life and knew it was uncommon and strange but didn't have a clue as to why or what it was all about. Upon discovering it, I got cold chills and watery eyes at how it was explaining me to fucking T. The OCEAN model is valuable for capturing broad tendencies but it can't tell you much about how a person actually processes information, makes decisions, or spends their internal mental energy. MBTI gets much closer to the architecture of thought. Also, notice this: when an INTP discovers SD, it’s easy for them to identify with Yellow. Not because they’ve developed into it, but because it mirrors how their mind already works. SD Yellow is a natural place for them to want to fit in. It feels like home to them. Just something to keep in mind when dealing with the INTP types and their fascination with Tier 2.

sometimes I just like to hear myself type

I was just watching Dexter and "ice princess" was a big deal in one of the episodes. Syncronicities on the rise again.

@ZenSwift I used Manus AI, which is a pretty sweet, little known research AI (generous free tier), ChatGPT deep research, and Claude's new deep research that was just released. You can have Claude do research and then tell it to put the data in a chart and it'll create React components and render them right in the browser. Something about Manus AI seems really high quality but I haven't used it a ton. It's good at generating a lot of reports. Also, you can watch it while it does it's thing, which is pretty damn cool. IDK how they offer so much for free though.

I think Musk is fucked.

How the right perceived Elon's attack on Trump (according to AI deep research):

haha, Manus AI is badass for research:

I wonder how much weight Elon’s allegations will carry with the average citizen or even MAGA. I spoke to a MAGA earlier and they said it is weird how the Epstein files never came out, insinuating Musk might have a point. It’d be nice to have some good sentiment analysis on this.

There was that time he saw a little girl around age 8-10 going up an escalator and he bragged "I'm going to be dating her in 10 years". Of course it's speculation and not worth much consideration, but if I had to guess, I think it's likely he is in one way or another implicated in the whole Epstein thing. Maybe not a pedo, but something.

Steve Bannon : "President Trump should act immediately. If Elon’s threatening to pull a major program from SpaceX, Trump should sign an executive order tonight under the Defense Production Act. SpaceX should be seized by the U.S. government before midnight." https://x.com/i/status/1930735714645188802

Trump was going after Musk pretty hard until Musk dropped the Epstein bomb. After which, instead of smearing Musk in typical Trump fashion, his tone was this:

I mean, of course he is. lol. There's nothing really strange about it. He'll condone a pedo if they make him money/power but will smear the pedo if they cost him money/power.

screen capture for better reference:

Elon can simply say he found out after the fact.

@Leo Gura Do you suspect it's just an unfounded smear?

Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes says Trump-Epstein connection is no-brainer 😂

Here's a timeline:

I thought of that, but I don't think Trump would risk this amount of reputation damage when there are other viable paths for market manipulation. Not impossible, but seems unlikely. It was reported 7 hours ago that Tesla lost 152 billion in market cap after Trump responded to something Elon said. Hours later, Musk is dropping the Epstein bomb.

Trump wanted to shoot protestors in the legs who were blocking his path to a photo op. He's probably trying to find a way to drone strike Elon's ass right now.

I'm an intuitive. It's really quite baffling to witness it. It's as if 20 variables and their implications are being processed in the background and when the process is finished, which is often in milliseconds, the final result exists as a single, formless knowing, with no symbol to represent it, and I have no idea how I know, but I just know. Over time, as it develops, if you have high metacognition, you get good at knowing when the results are incomplete or totally accurate. It can be frustrating to know something but not know the logical pieces that construct the knowing. Also, I've felt like an intellectual fraud (not that I'm an intellectual) because I don't sit down and work my ass off in collecting knowledge piece by piece. I just observe what grabs my attention and somehow, much understanding seems to be just handed to me on a silver platter. Of course, I have a high NFC and am always collecting information, but I don't work to organize any of it. I don't take notes for study. It all just goes into the brain bucket. Figuring out how I know things becomes an interesting puzzle that requires decoding the things intuition serves up, but it's a task to figure it out. I have to leave my default world of wide-gazed perception and engage my Te (extraverted thinking), but before I do that, I ask my intuition where the intuition came from, then run the answer through the Te filter until I'm satisfied, then add the result back to the database for further intuition. My working memory isn't the best when I'm engaged in linear thought but there seems to be a subconscious memory that tracks all the things. I ahve high pattern recognition of knowing where I've been before, so I think that has something to do with it. Also, I think it takes an intuitive to know one. I don't think you can really know what it's like if you don't have it as your default mode of operation. Like you said, even for those who do have it as their default likely don't understand it. It's a really interesting phenomenon. I've been learning a lot about it lately.

Jesus, he named his super computer “Colossus” after a fictional super computer that took over the world. What a goddamn freak. Been saying it for years. If you can’t see Elon’s true colors are that of an APEX predator and not a benevolent philanthropist… massive fail.
