> Socionics

"Socionics is a theory of information processing and personality type, distinguished by its information model of the psyche, called Model A, and a model of interpersonal relations. It incorporates Carl Jung's work on Psychological Types with Antoni Kępiński's theory of information metabolism. Socionics is a modification of Jung's personality type theory that uses eight psychic functions. These functions process information at varying levels of competency and interact with the corresponding function in other individuals, giving rise to predictable reactions and impressions—a theory of intertype relations.

Socionics was developed in the 1970s and '80s, primarily by the Lithuanian researcher Aušra Augustinavičiūtė, an economist, sociologist, and dean of the Vilnius Pedagogical University's department of family science. A. Augustinavičiūtė has later shortened her last name from "Augustinavichiute" to "Augusta" to make it easier to spell for foreigners. The name "socionics" is derived from the word "society", because A. Augusta believed that each personality type has a distinct purpose in society, which can be described and explained by socionics. Augusta created symbols to represent the functions described by Carl Jung and — together with a circle of fellow researchers/hobbyists — eventually created what is known as the "socionic model of the psyche" — a description of the psyche where each of the 8 information elements has its place in each person's psyche.

The central idea of socionics is that information is intuitively divisible into eight categories, called information aspects or information elements, which a person's psyche processes using eight psychological functions. Each sociotype has a different correspondence between functions and information elements, which results in different ways of perceiving, processing, and producing information. This in turn results in distinct thinking patterns, values, and responses to arguments, all of which are encompassed within socionic type. Socionics' theory of intertype relations is based on the interaction of these functions between types." (16types.info)

> Psychoanalysis

"Psychoanalysis, method of treating mental disorders, shaped by psychoanalytic theory, which emphasizes unconscious mental processes and is sometimes described as “depth psychology.” The psychoanalytic movement originated in the clinical observations and formulations of Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, who coined the term psychoanalysis. During the 1890s, Freud worked with Austrian physician and physiologist Josef Breuer in studies of neurotic patients under hypnosis. Freud and Breuer observed that, when the sources of patients’ ideas and impulses were brought into consciousness during the hypnotic state, the patients showed improvement." (Britannica)

Rules of the Game:

"I can calculate the motions of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people." — Isaac Newton

"Human behavior is the potential and expressed capacity (mentally, physically, and socially) of human individuals or groups to respond to internal and external stimuli throughout their life. While specific traits of one's personality, temperament, and genetics may be more consistent, other behaviors change as one moves between life stages—i.e., from birth through adolescence, adulthood, and, for example, parenthood and retirement.

Behavior is also driven, in part, by thoughts and feelings, which provide insight into individual psyche, revealing such things as attitudes and values. Human behavior is shaped by psychological traits, as personality types vary from person to person, producing different actions and behavior. Extraverted people, for instance, are more likely than introverted people to participate in social activities like parties.

The behavior of humans (just as of other organisms) falls upon a spectrum, whereby some behaviors are common while others unusual, and some are acceptable while others beyond acceptable limits. The acceptability of behavior depends heavily upon social norms and is regulated by various means of social control, partly due to the inherently conformist nature of human society in general. Thus, social norms also condition behavior, whereby humans are pressured into following certain rules and displaying certain behaviors that are deemed acceptable or unacceptable depending on the given society or culture.

Human behavior is studied by the social sciences, which include psychology, sociology, economics, and anthropology. In sociology, behavior may broadly refer to all basic human actions, including those that possess no meaning—actions directed at no person. Behavior in this general sense should not be mistaken with social behavior. Social behavior, a subset of human behavior that accounts for actions directed at others, is concerned with the considerable influence of social interaction and culture, as well as ethics, social environment, authority, persuasion, and coercion." (Wikipedia)

"The human condition is all of the characteristics and key events that compose the essentials of human existence, including birth, growth, emotion, aspiration, conflict, and mortality. This is a very broad topic which has been and continues to be pondered and analyzed from many perspectives, including those of religion, philosophy, history, art, literature, anthropology, psychology, and biology.

As a literary term, "the human condition" is typically used in the context of ambiguous subjects, such as the meaning of life or moral concerns." (Wikipedia)

Garbage in, garbage out.

Evil resides in everybodys hearts, or shall I say - minds.

It can escape it anytime.

I feel like every single one of us is a "problem of the world". No point in using generalizations.

The only "good" is "good action". Firm boundaries, kindness and empathy (especially towards oneself), constant learning.

Lies are evil. If you claim expertise in something you know nothing about, you are doubtlessly evil.

Irl this may be a bit different, but perhaps only because we so quickly get impressed by strong personalities. So a perception problem, but doesn't change the consequences of your actions. 

The consequences of our actions = what so many of us don't wanna hear about. Hence the success of industries like the new agers, the self-help guys, and the law of attraction stuff.

I know life is hard.

Learning is the only way.

Hence your faux-expertise are a form of evil.

But we don't seem to mind. Evil laughs under pressure EVERYDAY and meanwhile people are so suggestible/impressed by appearances.

Consumed by life's pain and evils - psychosis? 

Is psychosis the true abyss? Sam Vaknin seems to think so.

Psychopathology is better looking so society rewards them.

To the individuals, don't just be a bystander. Stand up to the evil, stand up to injustice.

It's not black and white - depends on the situation.

But evil is evil. Evil must be contained, or it will contaminate you. The human mind is a maze.

Find yourself. Know yourself. Be yourself.

The only way to defeat evil is to integrate it.

It's a bottomless pit, so be careful.

It also might be better not to look into the abyss alone. Or is it?

Is man powerful enough not to be consumed by evil?

 

Headspace might be the answer, baby

Ideology is in itself an evil.

I know that I myself could sometimes be easily drawn to creating ideologies around what I stand for.

Also, my lack of responsibility = it's probably careless. Not evil, but careless. Perhaps not loving myself is an evil though.

Courage is good. Assertiveness is good, as long as it's not crazy / aggressive.

But yea, responsibility is a part of the path, if we're to call anything as that.

Clarity itself is a good. Entitlement is not.

Really, the path will come to those who want to take it. And by no means is it an easy path.

Perhaps this "path" is something that inherently reflects a fundamental nature of the human spirit... if such thing exists at all.

The path of good- honest, open, caring, kind, truthful, strong, courageous.

Elements include integration, individuation, constant knowledge really. All knowledge. That's what sets it apart from everything else.

The archetype of the good man is not unfamiliar to the basic instincts of the human being. It's integrative, rather than avoidant, because integration is closer to transcendence than anything else. Transcendence is a strong word - but who's limiting us really?

Go full steam at your target, but NEVER disregard your heart and mind.

"Always work on the hearts and minds of others" - Robert Greene

Sad to say but emotions govern life much more than reason does. Reason belongs in books and action, but not in the trajectory of our lives - which is utterly unreasonable.

Leo's not a psychopath. Just take a look at his facial expressions, the dude seems like an emotional guy.

There sure are a lot of psychopaths and narcissists on YouTube, but he doesn't strike me as one, at least not in a full-fledged way.

Contrast his face to the one by the convicted gang leader/killer in the "shakedown in Santa fe" documentary - it's quite chilling tbh. That dude lacked affect (emotionality) when mentioning the murders alleged to him at the time.

Life is a battleground, like Jung said.

No other way around it.

Nonduality lies in the innermost state of things, but I'm agnostic about it.

DMT couldn't save starving children in Africa, oppressed people in wartime conditions, people extorted by psychopaths and narcissists.

Love could... perhaps save us from fear.

But what is love? Is it more than an ache in the heart?

How do we keep that love inside of us all the time?
