DISCLAIMER: I just made this for fun, don't take it too literally. The advice offered is premised on my own subjective experience as an INTP and won't be applicable to many others.
The inevitable heat death of the universe makes my life ultimately meaningless. But growing tomato plants in my back yard gives my life just enough small-scale meaning to keep going. It makes no sense, yet somehow works, and is moderately humorous to boot. We are an odd bunch.
So, after the universe dies, there will be nothingness? Then, isn’t that the formula for a new Big Bang? Assuming the Big Bang happened, of course... meaning we are in an infinite loop of life-death-resurrection...!!?
Maybe it could be that you have some sort of meaning, or responsibility for a "life". Some say that having certain responsibilities can be very meaningful, and that is despite what type one might be.
You just made me cry. Recently I’ve reached nihilism and have been struggling to do anything with my life. Everything seems meaningless. Then I was told by a teacher the exact same thing as you said, that being smart is not everything and after 40s you won’t care about it at all, nobody cares about smartness. I think I’m screwed.
It is all meaningless as far as I can tell, but the remarkable thing is that once you've accepted that, you're then free to identify and live by your own definition of meaning. In some ways it's a curse to see the apparent emptiness of it all, but in other ways it's very freeing. Small is beautiful... if you can reject the grand narratives of the world and accept that the universe just 'is,' then you may find far more powerful meaning in things you hadn't noticed before... the wonder that is moss and lichen, the beauty of a foreign language, the immeasurable complexity of ecosystems, a haunting Tchaikovsky melody, internal combustion engines, composting and the wonders of worm poop for a garden, the list could go on forever, but the world is an INTP's intellectual oyster and you should delight in it. Also, I'm 41 and I have to say that I still quite appreciate intelligence - I've realized that many of the people society might hold up as highly successful and intelligent are really just a cut above trained monkeys with a large capacity for rote memorization and following complex organizational and social rules. Finding people who are genuinely smart, critical thinkers and ponderers is rare and you should cherish them when you find them! Yes, you're screwed - we all are!
You know why this is one of the best INTP videos I’ve seen? Because you didn’t outline it or fit it on a power point or prepare some metaphor that’s overdone and aimed at the masses. You just talked about life as it flowed through your mind with a vague idea of where you wanted to end. We need more of this. I relate. I follow. Do more of these.
I love how when I read intp comments it's like reading something I wrote. Just a very simaler style that makes me feel so frikkin understood. That alone is a kinda beautiful thing, and this video is great too. God the universe whatever bless this community
I feel many older INTPs will resonate with your message, unfortunately for us all, I feel it is a lesson that must be learned through failure... speaking from experience!!! That’s alright, however. Love the vid, sub’d.
All INTPs of this world need to get a special class about the importance of relationships and how to deal with them while they're in high school. That would make life suck a little bit less once they're adults. I could've benifited from this before it was late. Social intelligence is one of the most important types of intelligence to have a balanced and happy life. I think most INTPs don't have it.

Nice. INTP here. I definitely relate. Some comments on my perspective: - I'd say the endlessly researching thing is always me. - I went the "be a lawyer" route, which is very demanding on logic/planning. It suits INTP pretty well and can be very fulfilling. You'll never get bored. You'll also make good money. You'll also learn about people because it requires lots of social connection. This work has definitely changed me that makes me look a little less like an INTP because being in a job when you gotta push/pull people constantly just changes you. But, it can be engrossing and totally lead to even further avoidance of Fe stuff though. Instead of personally doing things you'll just pay people (since you have more money than time) to do things others personally enjoy, i.e. the thought "Well I bill at $350/hr and instead of me doing this thing for an hour I'll just work an hour and I can pay somebody to do it $50/hr 5 times over (and no my math isn't wrong, I'm just counting taxes :) )." - I got skin cancer in 2015 and it ravaged my face, left eyelid is partially paralyzed, and learned to re-evaluate life lol. - When I was a kid I was oblivious to what a girl wants in a relationship, I couldn't think past being cool looking. It took me watching pick up artist, at least the parts of it where it explains what a girl values/looks for when evaluating a guy in public, to go "oh... so that's what they want." - I got an intuitive girlfriend (lead Ni) and we ramble about personality stuff endlessly and it is great, though holy smokes Ni and Ne are waaaaaaaaay different especially if its the strongest lead function. We both theorize and come to conclusions but she's less able to "show her work" like we do. - I have forgotten birthdays in the past. Actively keeping on a relationship/focusing on it isn't easy for me. - I like her for many reasons but one is that they treat living day to day life as a science, and she has a plan for everything, and she plans very well. I could take a vacation by buying just a plane ticket and figuring out the rest when I land. Out differences lead to a few arguments but overall just learn we're wired differently, and how to roll with it. - If an INTP goes through extreme, extreme stress, which the legal field and ignoring personal health/other can do, such that you get on a plane and don't care if it crashes because at least you'll avoid having to go to work (love/hate relationship, I'll be scared of crashing but there's at least 45% of me saying "Well, that's a relief, whew.") you will: (a) change the way you work before it kills you (see cancer) ... this led me to opening my own office; and (b) really be ok with enjoying the day to day things in life. This is also why I like my Ni planner girlfriend because she's just so damn good at what she does; she's a scientist about day to day life, and its nice to see her in action. So that was a mouthful.
I really like how on a normal TH-cam video someone would have called you stupid for writing an hole “essay” but among fellow intps nobody writes that , I have no idea why that happens maybe because they are introverted
I miss my REM sleep. I hate this state of mind, This awareness is tormenting me. Suffering makes you live time in detail, moment after moment ; Here i am again in my toxic_loved room, no friends, no family. Just books, drugs and a lot of researchs. Same life, same rules and ironically, same existence. An existence that I didn't choose to be a part of. Having to deal with your basic needs in a place of injustice... I feel completely detached from any country, any group. I am a metaphysically displaced person 😶
Great video and highly articulate ramblings! Uncanny to see so many INTPs, including myself, who have gone down the same rabbit hole of nihilism and scientific materialism and arrived at the conclusion that nothing matters, and yet still manage to find meaning in things like growing tomatoes in the backyard, as one commentator below said so aptly. Similar to how you expressed it, I came through the other side by essentially recognizing that same 'oneness' with the universe and a sense of being lucky that I have a shot at existence! I followed the logic of nihilism and materialism down to the sub-atomic level in search of some tiny evidence of free will and meaning or purpose, and I lost countless nights of sleep over the question and zoned out in countless classes and work meetings over the years pondering it all. The beautiful thing is that there is no end to that train of thought - there is no satisfactory logical conclusion that can be achieved to answer the 'why' and, at the end of the line, we're still left with the same mystery of creation that thoughtful men and women have grappled with for thousands of years. For me, the films of Terrence Malick, the poetry of Charles Bukowski, the novels of Tolstoy, the philosophy of the Taoists and the Stoics, and others are the closest that humankind has gotten to really understanding any of it.
Love watching things like this, it's legitimately like I'm watching a video of a paralell reality version of myself saying the same things that I think. When you get that glimpse beyond the veil and see reality for what it is, everything shifts. Sometimes I really do wish I could live until the end of time, just to see what happens.
By the time you're my age, your Fe manifests itself in escaping to the past--memories of better times--and YT is the vehicle--via movies, music, nostalgia. I have always maintained that the farther we move into the future, the more it allows us to escape to the past. It's what keeps me sane and balances out the logic and information seeking. Given current events, more recently I have been looking at (and analyzing :-)) various aspects of religion, which has reconnected me with spirituality (to a degree :-)). Relationships--yes--my wife and my cats. They are what I cherish. As to what gives life meaning--for me it is all of this, and it's enough.
When I renounced my religion at 16 I remember reading a youtube comment on a video(probably about Ray Comfort) and it something to the effect of "yeah life is inherently pointless, that's why I make my own purpose". I adopted that ever since. I don't care too much about silly things like the evitable death of everything. Nothing I can do about that. I find nihilism to be a silly philosophy even if it's technically true if it just makes you sad and miserable in the end without helping then fuck it.
When you were talking about logic not being everything, I pictured Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka breaking through the ceiling in the glass elevator .. for every personality there is a world beyond ourselves and it's beautiful to discover.
Imo, the world of relationships is something that cannot ever be truly figured out or quantified. This is what gives me optimism to pursue it because you keep on learning. I was redpilled at a time and had lost hope in myself, but I found a lovely human being to share my life with for a small amount of time. There is no theory that truly explains the world of relationships. It is an individual experience where general truths do not matter
Heyo!! I'm a little late to the posting party, but I somewhat enjoyed the video. Though it was kinda depressing to watch you there because you (as most INTPs do) have a very pessimistic view of where the future is headed. Not to mention you think about the future of mankind more than your own personal experience or personal future. Also, you don't seem to have any hope. I have so much hope and want to share where I found it with you. Anyway, I think that I'll provide some useful advice for you and everyone else. And no, I'm not going to say "take it day by day." Because how in world does that help you?!? Sure, don't worry so much, and try to appreciate and understand what's around you and what can't be seen. That's nice I guess, but it doesn't help when you think about how it'll all end and how pointless this physical world really seems to be. What I advise you to do is to read the Bible and find a church of christ near you. Pursue a relationship with God. He created everything and gives meaning and purpose to life. The whole "dying sun" thing is not really a problem for Christians because our souls will live forever. God will create a new heaven and a new earth once this one passes away. And everybody who was faithful to him will live there forever where there is no more death and all is at peace. Still, the fact remains that nothing created here on earth will last. That is, nothing except relationships and the Word of God. That's right! Relationships with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and relationships with those around us. What function helps with relationships? Extraverted feeling! Maybe that's why it's important to develop it in order to find meaning. So if you learn how to gain the gift of eternal life through the hearing of God's word (the Bible), live faithfully in Christ, and build relationships, well, you've just found that which will never pass away or fade. You've found a meaningful existence. Congratulations 🎉. I hope that you will at least investigate what I've said in order to see if it's true. Be on guard for any bias or preconceived notions(your own and other people's). If nothing else, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself. Ponder what that means and then do it. What is love? What is a heart? Soul? Mind? Strength? How does one use those lovingly? How is that directed? Why should this be important? Who is your neighbor? What happens when you love them? What happens to you? What happens to them? What happens to the bonds between you? Should that affect how you love them? Do you love yourself? Why should you love yourself? Ask questions like these whenever you're reading the Bible or talking to Christians, or just thinking in general. Please, please, please learn what God has to say. It can save you in so many ways. You'll never regret it if you do. Anyway, if also want a practical way to develop Fe, then just do something nice for the people around you and try to make them feel good. You'll be addicted to doing this once you practice this for a while. It's so much fun. A more passive way to develope extraverted feeling is to tie it in with introverted sensing. That is, ask people how they feel about things all the time. And then remember that. Make other people's emotions one of the things you value. No, I won't give a reason to value it, just do it and you'll see. No, this ain't a trick. How, you say? Invest in those people and in your relationship with them. Cause in the end, if you INTPs aren't helping others, you're kind of wasting your life away and will never be happy or fulfilled. I've given my two cents and sincerely hope that this helps everyone who reads it. If you have any questions for me, just reply to this and I'll try to get back with you sometime. Also, if you just want to play chess or something, I'm your guy. My chess.com username is whalemate. Thanks for the content bro! I appreciate what you're doing. Best wishes! El Psy Kongroo.
Thank you bro, great advice and very much appreciated! Although I was brought up in a catholic school and surrounded by religious people the idea never really stuck with me. I can definitely see the merit in religion and the mindset it promotes, but the idea of letting a force which can’t be logically grasped guide and dictate my actions seemed too unrealistic to pursue. During times I feel I’m drained of all hope, however, I find myself praying to God (despite its illogicality), and it brings me a sense of peace that logic is incapable of offering. If you don’t mind me asking, were you raised into Christianity? If not, did you too have doubts regarding its merit? And if so how did you overcome those doubts? Religion is something I’d very much like to pursue if I knew I had it in me to overlook its logical fallacies. Any input would be great!
@@intuitionexpress7753 Hi! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to you. I have not forgotten, and have written a veeeeeeery lengthy reply. I feel that I must apologize for its length and the amount of rambling I do. You see I just started typing and got swept away in the currents of my mind. I fear that I may have muddled things even more than they were before, but I think that even that is better than stagnation. Please let me know what you think of it and whether or not you're interested in learning about God and his plans for us. I am not a talented writer, but please try to look past that. Here's what I wrote: Hello there! And General Kenobi! It is very refreshing to hear such sincerity from you. Most people might not care to admit they have any doubts at all, but I do appreciate you and most other INTPs for embracing doubts. After all, it is doubts that one eventually learns what one believes in. Not to say that one cannot believe in the things they doubt. But rather that doubts prompt one to investigate thoroughly those things in which they question. That is, doubts demand one to find answers to the questions closest to their hearts. If it does not matter to you, then doubts will not really do anything at all because you can just walk away. But if it is important, then you will be forced to face that doubt. That said, in spiritual matters, there are doubts for and against a 'force which can't be logically grasped.' So I suppose the first thing to address is whether or not there is a spiritual aspect to life. Can everything one sees, hears, touches, tastes, and smells be all there is to reality? It might seem that way initially because the senses are all that humans have to form ideas about. But a study of the physical environment presents many questions which cannot be answered by the nature of the environment. Even the fact that our world has a nature seems to point to some more subtle force at work. The question of the origin of our world and kosmos is very important to consider. Why is everything so orderly when a progression towards chaos and disorder has been the only thing observed in the natural world? The way I see it, things we find in the world are evidences of some unknown force which cannot be seen. But there are a myriad of explanations for the state of our surroundings, and those must be considered. But I will not go into depth about that.
Now, there are other things which I think point to a spiritual world. Consider your own existence. What are you? Are you your body? I sincerely hope you don't believe that you are your body, because corpses have bodies, too; but corpses do not know any thing or act as they did in life. So where does the essence of people go when they die? Are you your thoughts? I don't think so, but you decide. Thoughts change quickly, but the one observing them and overseeing them stays the same. Are there times when you are unconscious or not thinking? I believe so. I know that INTPs think almost all the time, but there are moments when the thoughts stop. You zone out. Or you can be so focused on observing the moment (or possibilities), that your thoughts grow quiet. While it is not your preference, it does happen occasionally, and do you cease to exist when it does? What about other people? We both know that other people don't think all the time, lol. They still exist. Are you your feelings? I hope this one is easier for you to decipher. Feelings, like thoughts, are constantly changing, but the one feeling them remains the same. Surely you understand that there are times when you are unaware of your own feelings (almost all the time I'm sure). But yes, you do have feelings. How do I know? Because you care. And if anyone were to tell you that you don't care, then I'm certain that you would begin to feel very angry and frustrated, (Who are they to tell you what you care about?!? , etc.), though you may choose to deal with that by bottling up your excessively disproportionate and illogical reaction. BTW, don't bottle it up; instead, deal with it by feeling it when you are alone and then tell one friend about how you feel. It's healthier. Now, are you your experiences? Or are you your conscience? Experiences are an interesting concept because it involves memory. Are you your memories? No, I daresay that you aren't. Memories fade or become augmented (as does one's sense of reality), but you do not cease to exist when that happens, your choices are just influenced by it because you are accepting different information to be true or false. That's it. Are you your consciousness? You'll just have to take everyone else's words for it. Yes, you existed before you were aware of what existing meant. Maybe ask your parents :). So, as I see it, the question remains. What are you? Your very existence cannot be comprehended entirely. I believe that you and I were created by a being who is beyond our comprehension. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55: 8-9)." I also believe that we are spiritual creatures residing in fleshly bodies in the physical world. That's food for thought. I believe that the Bible has all the best food for thought. In fact, it even tells us that it is. Maybe see if you can figure out how the Bible revealed that to me. Anyway, there are many examples of things which we cannot comprehend as humans. We could consider the origin of motion. We could talk about the origin of ideas. But what one thinks about those things is rather subjective in the end. I believe that all things are created by God, and that He has revealed himself to us. None of the things mentioned above are quite enough for a true understanding of who God is and how he works. Those are all foolish philosophical theories about our world. They (the arguments) were made by humans and therefore can be disputed and offer no proof for solid belief or disbelief in the spiritual side of life (though deep down I think most people do not believe that we see all that there is). Where do beliefs in God arise? As I said earlier, all things initially come from God. The Holy Bible is a record of how God has revealed himself to us throughout all time. Everything in it is true. It was revealed to us by a higher power than humans, and must be either accepted or discarded in its entirety. Can one understand everything about God? By no means. God is eternal and infinite in all things good. He is also a spirit. So it actually makes sense that you are struggling to logically comprehend him. If we could completely understand him, then we'd both know that he isn't who he says he is. Now what little we can know about God should be logical, that is, consistent with everything else we know about him. It should not have any apparent contradictions within it. Apparent self-contradictions is all that I know that logic can reveal. It does not show us every possibility, or even which possibilities are correct/true. Information is key when dealing with logical systems. That is why INTPs often make the famous 'if this, then that' statements. We are aware on some level that there are only so many logical possibilities, but that we do not yet have enough information to decide which one is the correct one. This can explain why logic is super useful for man-made systems, but is less accurate for natural systems. In man-made systems, one is aware of all the information in the system (because they put it there), and therefore can make statements with absolute certainty. But in natural systems, or systems which are preexisting and must be discovered or explored, one must make logical statements based upon observed 'facts.' But how does one come to accept those observed facts to begin with? What is at the foundation of our logical theories? In truth, it is not just every observation we make; for we do not believe everything we hear or see. Then what? The answer is in that last statement. It is beliefs. You are surely aware that logic is a construct, that is it is built by men similarly to how buildings are constructed- one level at a time, starting at the base. Just as every building has a foundation (for they are built on solid materials on the ground to be sturdy), logical constructs have a foundation of beliefs. It is rather foolish to think that logic could exist without beliefs, because people who hold to logic do so in the BELIEF that logic reveals truth. And they believe that based on nothing except the observation that it appears to work in the world. So beliefs are the bedrock of our inner worlds, yet they are formed by listening and watching the natural world. Does this not also point to some force which constructed the natural world based on principles not originally understood by us? The whole building example is one I found in the Bible. Jesus tells us that the only solid foundation for building our lives (that includes thoughts) is a belief in his words and teachings (Matthew 7:24-27, Luke 6:46-49). Jesus actually says that "he who hears my words and does them is like a wise man who built his house upon the rock." But what person will act on things which he does not believe in? So belief is implied in the verse, but it is not everything to having a solid foundation. The gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) were written so that people would believe in Jesus (John 20:30-31). God has inspired the prophets to record his messages to us. Those messages and revelations of a higher world are in the Bible and are the evidence/testimony which we can base a beliefs on. It is how we know where the solid ground is. If you would like to know more about how this, I'd be happy Whether you like it or not, if you use logic, then you already allow 'forces which cannot be logically understood' to influence how you think, feel, and act. They are preexisting and not guaranteed to be correct or incorrect. That is why it is important to learn what the Bible has to say about matters. It illuminates the darkness of our understanding. It opens our blind eyes to the spiritual nature of our existence, and teaches us how to have a relationship with our creator. You wrote about doubts concerning logical fallacies, it would be easier for me to answer you about those if you named the specific doubts you have. As for your other questions... Yes, I was raised into Christianity. Yes, I have had doubts about in the past. I overcame those doubts by studying God's word, asking my trusted friends what they thought about those doubts and whether they had doubts, praying to God to teach me what I needed to know, and staying faithful to him. There are times when one does not understand why things happen the way they do, but if one stays faithful, then one begins to see what things are important and how much better God's plans are than one's own ideas. Please do pursue religious studies. Do not be afraid of finding logical fallacies, but rather embrace them and look for alternatives truths in their place. I am confident in validity of the Bible and its ability to change lives for the better. If you wish to communicate with me more or would like make any comments on what I've typed out here, please email me at sigfriedbojangles91@gmail.com . No, that is not my name. But I didn't want to put my personal email address on a TH-cam comment. I hope you understand! Best Wishes! S.B. P.S. Really, please do tell me what you think. It is my hope that we can learn from each other. :)
I can relate to this, so true. Until the age of 20, the whole world was just logic to me, then I began to realize the areas where this approach fails. I made some bad life decisions that were calculated just with pure logic and didn't work well in real life. It caused me existencial crisis. I think this was the point I began to consider other perspectives on life approach than the strictly logical one.
Any real INTP should be smart enough to understand that the questions on personality tests are so vague and generalized, and the majority of the answers depend on the situation, and that we are subjectively prone to answer in a way that we hope will give the kind of final "score" that fits our self image and boosts our ego, and that in truth we are not one unchanging personality, but a multiplicity of different states that depend on the current state of our internal energy, which is affected by a number of different factors that are completely unaccounted for in the test, so the only use for labelling oneself as a specific personality type is to box oneself into a false label that has absolutely nothing to do with reality
Use four sides of the mind and the temperaments to type yourself instead of the test. For example INTP > informative >responding >control these are observable ways of dealing with the world around us. You can type people by observing their interraction style.
My day absolutely consists of researching things. 100 percent%. Just came through another existential crisis after realizing that spacetime is an illusory construct. I agree, logic is not everything at all and it can lead to depression which it did for me. I am a girl in love with a girl and I dont even care if she can be with me or not, I just spent two days working on a present for her and I feel happy, that I have the know how to help her gives my life meaning.
It’s quite funny that intps keep researching anything like spacetime and they just keep going even though there is a danger for existential crisis and such things but intps just keep researching no matter what. I just realised how ironic that is
@@DaDodoDev I never really realized that. I just don't stop, there is always the next level for me. Drives me nuts. However I realized that after more research the Psychologist who tested me was right, I am actually INTJ but I can relate alot to INTPs. I tend to study only the data related to the plan I am trying to execute. But I still cant stop, once a goal is formulated I will be willing to risk everything to get it done even if it goes against logic. I wish I was an INTP though, I met one the other day and wow. Just brilliant!
@@AA-lq5pu i am definetly an intp and because of that my brain just keep wandering around on all the tabs on my computer (one day i found myself Wachting a video about competetive GeoGeusser and i have never played it sometimes i wish my life was a little bit more structered maybe a sideEffect og being an inxx is that you Think every other Personality type is better (i have an Enfp friend who against all the Stereotypes is really organised and sometimes i just wish i was an other type) but like you my brain doesnt turn off when the Sun is 8 minuttes under the horison it just keep on going and there is no ending in sight;
@@DaDodoDev That is so random and yet so cool! Love it. I had no idea that INs tend to think others are always better. I never feel adequate. I definitely relate to your brain not switching off, It is almost 12 at night here. Everyone else is asleep. Feel free to share anything that you want. I love learning from INTPs.
Don’t mean to be disrespectful at all but I’ve never felt that way. I have never felt like life is pointless, perhaps because I love learning and figuring things out. And I truly believe we are no where near the end of the road as far as understanding our universe. In the BILLIONS of years until the sun explodes, I think we will have moved far past the reaches of our own solar system, and there won’t even be a trace of us still here by that point. Though war on the other hand... I think war could ruin us, return us to the Stone Age if we blow each other up. That is something that depresses me.
I do enjoy this type of content. Advice is always appreciated especially personality advice and your advice is really helpful. I think many INTPs like typology because it's a way for us to understand people in a more logical way, as well as ourselves. Do you agree? I turned 30 yesterday and as a woman who went to an all girls high school, I felt extremely different to the people around me. I had very few friends and spent a lot of time observing others. I learned a lot about other people by doing so. Unfortunately, this also lead me to thinking that it was normal for people to behave the way those teenage girls did and I assumed that wherever I went afterwards, it would be the same. It really wasn't, which was a relief when I finally realised and this made me less scared of people. I held onto lots of negative beliefs about myself and others because of that school experience. From the research I've done, I think that some INTPs (perhaps females who have spent a lot of time around their ow gender?) will have a much more developed Fe and it can make them think that they are feelers. I've had to work on my Fe in the past 10 years to survive, at least in the workplace. I thought I was an INFP but I have zero Fi. I didn't really understand Fi but went along with it when I tested INFP on 16 personalities a few years ago. I fit myself into the INFP box somehow believing that I must lead with my own values. Inferior Fe was ultimately what lead me truly understand that I am an INTP. Anyway, more Fe content would be great, as I think it ultimately helps us to grow and face our fears.
I think your right on point when you mentioned when you get older like 30's and 40's your Fe is more developed my Fe is strong so yeah Ti isn't the only function to use .
"the more dopamine flows through your head...and the more dopamine flows through your head the more you wanna keep doing it". SPOT ON ! And by the way, as I'm always looking for new insights on personality types, that's exactly how I ended up watching your video !!!
before I know the MBTI's theory, in high school I even wondered what the difference was between me and a robot, because I lived only guided by logic I started to believe I was wasting my life, so I came to the logical conclusion (ironically) that I would lead a healthier life if I gave more importance to feelings. in parts it worked, but you don't learn to hear your feelings so quickly, only when high school ended and i was alone i started to understand better the importance of social relationships and only when my father died, I realized the lack that made me not able to express my feelings. These were the worst times of my life, and even today I find it difficult to find meaning in my life that is not related to leaving something big for the next generations, even though I know how difficult it is to be important at this level, and even if I could, as you mentioned in the video, " what's the point if we're all going to die?

😂😂😂 INTP here. I once was sure about my career path. Over the course of studying, I found out, that despite the strong logical element, the success relies on forming relationships, and, that the field is so oversaturated with experts, the chances of me slaving as postdoc till the rest of my life and getting nowhere are very high. 4 years later, I graduated with gazillions of debt and didn’t follow up. I have invested some time into researching the next thing and the ins and outs of human relationships. I’m breaking out in sweat when I think about getting out there and putting time into it, cause I’m afraid that despite trying, I’ll suck at both, or will find out that my idea of it is idealistic and I’m on a path of becoming a glorified corporate cog. I watch people with average intelligence and moderate discipline getting ahead in life and wonder how I can get over this.
You are doing very good work sir! Terbulant-Intp here, struggling ... I think you may just saved my life if I started taking actions in future ... In my opinion, this experiment of yours to just say whatever was in your mind was a great success and undoubtedly a very noble work! please keep on posting such videos (being selfish here 😬) ... But seriously, THIS IS CLEARLY AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE MANY LIVES !!!
Hello, TH-cam started to suggest me your videos lately and this is the first I've attentively watched till the end. This was extremely sad, at least for me as an INTP who's deeply conscious of the importance of feelings and human interaction being in my 20s. I think we INTPs have a love/hate relationship with our emotions: we try hard to reject them, not only because they're illogical but because they're scary, we don't know how to deal with them so we'd rather avoid them. Anyway I appreciated the honesty of this video, I know how hard it is for us to expose ourselves, so thank you. (The drama put in "the sun explodes and everyone dies" made me laugh for a moment though 😂)
always researching is not something intps do, only when they find the topics they are interested in and then they go full on (but very rare case), they actually get bored very easily so they turn to games and other dopamine producing things(porn is big one). hedonistic is more likely what intps would be then being nihilistic. all they need to do is ask people what they value and the nihilism problem is gone.
I am most probably INTP. I think there is a way how enforce an INTP to use other cognitive functions so that he doesn't get stuck in his Ti Ne land. Put him to an environment with super smart people who can constantly beat his logic. Unfortunately, he may become even more introverted, because his Ti Ne land is being attacked. However, after time he has to admit that his logic is not as brilliant as he expected and he tries find other ways how make his life meaningful. Perhaps by using other cognitive functions.
I'm still learning about the functions but I'm pretty sure I'm an INTP. I've been relentlessly researching since childhood, often at the expense of developing my social life (which has sometimes concerned me, and sometimes been entirely fine lol). I'm 30 now, and have gone through several nihilistic, depressive existential crises since I was a teenager. I see Peterson in the background... went through a big phase of him too haha. I hadn't really thought about it, but yeah, I've learned so many systems! This will be nonsense to some and that's ok, but I think I have finally found "the solution" to my INTP/identity/existential struggles (driving much of my previous research) and it's nonduality. To any INTPs who are struggling, I highly recommend researching this haha. I wasn't going to share this (especially because I get the impression INTPs may not be as receptive to it) but I felt compelled after reading some of the comments... I see my past self in them and I remember how much pain I was in. This isn't set in stone
Trying to figure out how being emotional is going to stop the world from ending. The world is skewed to all personality types based on what they do and dont value. It's not just us. I do agree we should work on our Fe ... but emotions isn't what brings us happiness. As someone who has developed their Fe... I find the most fulfillment in "things" and "systems". That is our purpose. That is what brings us fulfillment. Not people. Unless you're a SX subtype whos constantly looking for "the one perfect match". The other two subtypes of INTPs can literally die alone and be content and fulfilled if they are able to make some sort of framework that helps society or pur friends at the very least. That is our legacy. Not going down some emotional path of building families. Life is unfair and you cant have your cake and eat it too. We were gifted with intelligence. That comes at the price of emotional intelligence. I agree we should try and be more balance, but this seems to imply we should start leaning on emotions to find lifelong fulfillment.
True, INTPs lead with Ti, There is no getting around this. The INTP mind wants what it wants and no amount of cajoling will get it to be as naturally Fe fluent as other types. That being said, you can engage in "weakness management" with your Fe. So, don't work in a field that requires a constant use of Fe or socialize extensively with non geeks. An example would be, you are a coder or scientific researcher but you need to interface with your personal assistant or investors from time to time. Figure out behavior and words that will upset them and commit them to memory for the few ocassions where you deal with them. Do not be overly blunt.
im not at all that familiar w mbti functions etc but ill do my research after watching this. ive spent the past year trying to word out how i percieve life and i think the system thing makes sense. i do it a lot as well. i just dont know how to get out of it. i used to stay indoors all the time so i forced myself outdoors and enjoyed doing so until i didnt. i love these systems when theyre made and used but i hate them when im bored with them because ill have to make more. its just a constant search for enrichment in any way just to satisfy my mind. man..
I think it's not so much that we don't value relationships as we need the safety of a logical world to make space for letting our guard down in the uncontrolled world of relationships/feelings. Much like you budget to make splurging in retirement something we can survive I think knowing that our world and thoughts are ordered we have a safety rope that we won't get crushed if our Fe inferior wanders too far into the unknown. Feeling types are competent enough they don't suffer as much by an emotional setback in a relationship, where we question every aspect with a once burned twice shy feeling. We all want relationships, but too many INTPs either people please or dismiss feelings all together from the point that being genuine and intentional in building relationships is too high risk to the ego.
And the hardest part being an INTP even when you realize (not think, but beig sure) that everything is meaningless after all, do not fall into depression. Isolation from people you don't understand (~90%) into your mind not helping either...
There is no meaning to this life that we can perceive while here. So what should we do? I believe the answer is to practice ἀγάπη (agápē). That’s the best I’ve got so far.
I'm never satisfied with anything I do, specially thinking because I'm aways like "If I have thought of that other way 30 minutes ago I would have consider more ideas and I would probably have more thoughts to think about"
I'm not INTP, but the intp i know best is very happy with doing his own thing, it seems. Has great success with his business and economy, buys new books constantly,and reads them. Travels and gets new experiences. But is currently on the search for love. Is in his early 30s. I would love to become closer friends with him, but when it comes to talking about emotions: he isn't really expressing many of them. Seems like his emotional depth is impossible to reach. Is this because emotions are already analysed and deemed unnecessary to talk about. Still got no clue about that.
Is not the battle of the moral man in this world a battle with corruption? Does INTP's dedication to Truth, commitment to logic and ethics, comfort with solitude and ever expansive mind make him the perfect hermit and or ascetic? What would be wrong with that? He might miss out on the next mass shooting or latest Tik Tok dance but is that so bad?

I will have to disagree to an extend. I’ve only just recently realised I am an INTP and it all has fallen into place for me. Astonished to see they this archetype has a weakened Fe, as that is the case for me too; it can be difficult at times which ends up in disregarding other peoples emotions, though I am actively trying to improve. However, I can’t find anything more fascinating than an INTP having either a general or very specific purpose in their lives that benefits society. You are slightly on the shadows here, your opinion remind me of my depressive nihilism at times of desperation. Indeed there is the sun exploding in a billion years; though there is also hope for the present and imminent future. I think we have loads to sort out currently and there can’t be a more exciting time for an INTP! Only annoying thing is that a lot has been discovered already and with AI we will indeed be a bit on the edge for more know ledge
Wow! There are SO many wannabe INTP’s in the comments. INTP’s are not religious, we grew out of the imaginary friend stage years ago. Neil deGrasse Tyson was recently on the Colbert Show and briefly touched on the ending of the universe. Humanity won’t end when the sun explodes, by that time humans will probably not even be on earth. Anyway, Neil’s point was the ever expansion of the universe, ending in universes, stars, molecules and eventually atoms themselves being separated. Scientists have come to call this the big “Rip.” Now the interview itself was beyond rudimentary, considering Colbert is Catholic and kept trying to “unhear” things in real time. It related more to resurrecting Einstein himself to ask him what he thought of the latest episode of Real Housewives. But nonetheless Neil has a way of getting excited about learning and science without talking down to people, however he stays humble. By humble I mean he knows he isn’t living forever. As an INTP, we get SO lost in thought that we start asking “what’s the point?” Although as intriguing as it is to ponder the end of the universe, we need to know our time and place and stop over analyzing and start learning something new. People have jobs today that didn’t exist even 5 years ago, there’s always something to learn. As a depressed INTP, I get it, nihilism is easier. But it does nothing to help other people. Something INTJ’s could use some work on. Logically we know everything will come to an end eventually, our knowledge can be passed down generations but we will be dead, we can no longer add to the conversation. So logically we should try and add as much useful content as we can. As for the big Rip, time and space will no longer exist, and neither will logic itself. If INTP’s and of course INTJ’s are based in logic then we are rendered useless and no longer needed. Logicians can’t “logic” when logic doesn’t exist. So we should actually stop thinking about it because it’s inevitable...something an INTP will never do, hence... imperfection.
Is that an absolute statement? HMMMMMM . . . Nope, that doesn't make any sense. Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must. - Obi Wan Kenobi (making another absolute statement) Proof that Obi Wan was a Sith. lol
Sounds very infj to me. Ni first function having a conversation with Ti third function which goes like this: You know dear Ti, logic is not everything, putting big emphasis on meaning (Ni) even nihilism in itself is a meaning topic (Ni), thinking about what is it like when one is 30 or 40 years old (Ni long term thinking, vision), you know dear Ti you are smart but this is not enough,(Logic is not reliable!) there people around you (Fe) relationships matter (Fe)... how about having an impact (the wet dream of infjs)
creating new things to share with the world and having new experiences/hobbies is how I mainly enjoy life. The annoying roadblock I have right now is in my animation I need to make audio for my characters and I really don't want the audio to be bad and bring down the overall animation. I put a lot of work into my animated show (even thoe I did almost all the work in 2 days) so thats why I want the audio to match it to same level.
I’m an INTP and consider myself a free thinker, truth seeker. I’m only concerned about what is true and will hear all sides. I dug deep and discovered shocking truths about the corruption, hidden agendas, and deception of this world that ultimately lead me to the acknowledgement of our Creator. Jesus is coming back soon and I urge everyone to at least consider that the Bible is true. I finally rationalized that if I was TRULY seeking TRUTH then I would research it and now my life is completely changed. Praise God
I personally love random vids. I hate when I know what to expect! love the "eureka" moment you are having here bc I feel like I have 9000 of those per day 🤣 I feel like I also realized a few years ago... what was the point of accumulating all this book learning + knowledge if I never shared it?! (and was also absolutely terrible at articulating all the ideas in my head?) that realization is around when I started my channel. hopefully the INTPs that need to hear this find it, and sooner than I did! unfortunately I think we're one of those types that has to learn the hard way, especially when younger 🤣 how old are you, out of curiosity?
Haha thank you! Yes!! I love TH-cam because it gives us a platform to share the unlimited thoughts floating around our head 24/7 haha. And I’m 19 years old currently.
It is not procrastination... it is extensive planning... the worst and best thing the world can do is motivate an intp into action. Don't believe me? Go find yourself and Inpt and piss them off, it will take some effort but I have confidence in You, insult their mind and contradict everything they say... when you win yiur prize of pissing one of us off. you will quickly learn what that planning really looks like.
@@snarkymcsnarkface1863 Hey... so I said proCREATION not proCRASTINATION. Further, I am with an INTP and the only time I piss him off is when he has been rambling for a paragraph and I'd like to get a word in before I lose my thought. He's a good planner in certain areas, and he will agree, such as finances and business but he says I am better planning in life as a whole. I can't tell you the number of times he his blown away by my "life hacks"... he calls if "life hacks" I call it living.

DISCLAIMER: I just made this for fun, don't take it too literally. The advice offered is premised on my own subjective experience as an INTP and won't be applicable to many others.
You're great (at this!)

"When reach on a conclusion, INTP's were stopped being interested"
LOL, that was true.
The inevitable heat death of the universe makes my life ultimately meaningless. But growing tomato plants in my back yard gives my life just enough small-scale meaning to keep going. It makes no sense, yet somehow works, and is moderately humorous to boot. We are an odd bunch.
Lol- indeed we are
So, after the universe dies, there will be nothingness? Then, isn’t that the formula for a new Big Bang? Assuming the Big Bang happened, of course... meaning we are in an infinite loop of life-death-resurrection...!!?
Maybe it could be that you have some sort of meaning, or responsibility for a "life". Some say that having certain responsibilities can be very meaningful, and that is despite what type one might be.
You just made me cry. Recently I’ve reached nihilism and have been struggling to do anything with my life. Everything seems meaningless. Then I was told by a teacher the exact same thing as you said, that being smart is not everything and after 40s you won’t care about it at all, nobody cares about smartness. I think I’m screwed.
It is all meaningless as far as I can tell, but the remarkable thing is that once you've accepted that, you're then free to identify and live by your own definition of meaning. In some ways it's a curse to see the apparent emptiness of it all, but in other ways it's very freeing. Small is beautiful... if you can reject the grand narratives of the world and accept that the universe just 'is,' then you may find far more powerful meaning in things you hadn't noticed before... the wonder that is moss and lichen, the beauty of a foreign language, the immeasurable complexity of ecosystems, a haunting Tchaikovsky melody, internal combustion engines, composting and the wonders of worm poop for a garden, the list could go on forever, but the world is an INTP's intellectual oyster and you should delight in it. Also, I'm 41 and I have to say that I still quite appreciate intelligence - I've realized that many of the people society might hold up as highly successful and intelligent are really just a cut above trained monkeys with a large capacity for rote memorization and following complex organizational and social rules. Finding people who are genuinely smart, critical thinkers and ponderers is rare and you should cherish them when you find them! Yes, you're screwed - we all are!
"Yes - you're screwed, we all are!" Has me rolling. Said like a sour sarcastic intp indeed
You know why this is one of the best INTP videos I’ve seen? Because you didn’t outline it or fit it on a power point or prepare some metaphor that’s overdone and aimed at the masses. You just talked about life as it flowed through your mind with a vague idea of where you wanted to end. We need more of this. I relate. I follow. Do more of these.
I love how when I read intp comments it's like reading something I wrote. Just a very simaler style that makes me feel so frikkin understood.
That alone is a kinda beautiful thing, and this video is great too. God the universe whatever bless this community
I feel many older INTPs will resonate with your message, unfortunately for us all, I feel it is a lesson that must be learned through failure... speaking from experience!!!
That’s alright, however. Love the vid, sub’d.
All INTPs of this world need to get a special class about the importance of relationships and how to deal with them while they're in high school. That would make life suck a little bit less once they're adults. I could've benifited from this before it was late.
Social intelligence is one of the most important types of intelligence to have a balanced and happy life. I think most INTPs don't have it.
I love how when I read intp comments it's like reading something I wrote. Just a very simaler style that makes me feel so frikkin understood.

Nice. INTP here. I definitely relate. Some comments on my perspective:
- I'd say the endlessly researching thing is always me.
- I went the "be a lawyer" route, which is very demanding on logic/planning. It suits INTP pretty well and can be very fulfilling. You'll never get bored. You'll also make good money. You'll also learn about people because it requires lots of social connection. This work has definitely changed me that makes me look a little less like an INTP because being in a job when you gotta push/pull people constantly just changes you. But, it can be engrossing and totally lead to even further avoidance of Fe stuff though. Instead of personally doing things you'll just pay people (since you have more money than time) to do things others personally enjoy, i.e. the thought "Well I bill at $350/hr and instead of me doing this thing for an hour I'll just work an hour and I can pay somebody to do it $50/hr 5 times over (and no my math isn't wrong, I'm just counting taxes :) )."
- I got skin cancer in 2015 and it ravaged my face, left eyelid is partially paralyzed, and learned to re-evaluate life lol.
- When I was a kid I was oblivious to what a girl wants in a relationship, I couldn't think past being cool looking. It took me watching pick up artist, at least the parts of it where it explains what a girl values/looks for when evaluating a guy in public, to go "oh... so that's what they want."
- I got an intuitive girlfriend (lead Ni) and we ramble about personality stuff endlessly and it is great, though holy smokes Ni and Ne are waaaaaaaaay different especially if its the strongest lead function. We both theorize and come to conclusions but she's less able to "show her work" like we do.
- I have forgotten birthdays in the past. Actively keeping on a relationship/focusing on it isn't easy for me.
- I like her for many reasons but one is that they treat living day to day life as a science, and she has a plan for everything, and she plans very well. I could take a vacation by buying just a plane ticket and figuring out the rest when I land. Out differences lead to a few arguments but overall just learn we're wired differently, and how to roll with it.
- If an INTP goes through extreme, extreme stress, which the legal field and ignoring personal health/other can do, such that you get on a plane and don't care if it crashes because at least you'll avoid having to go to work (love/hate relationship, I'll be scared of crashing but there's at least 45% of me saying "Well, that's a relief, whew.") you will: (a) change the way you work before it kills you (see cancer) ... this led me to opening my own office; and (b) really be ok with enjoying the day to day things in life. This is also why I like my Ni planner girlfriend because she's just so damn good at what she does; she's a scientist about day to day life, and its nice to see her in action.
So that was a mouthful.
Wow this was quite insightful!!! What you call “scientist about life” most people call “living”.
I really like how on a normal TH-cam video someone would have called you stupid for writing an hole “essay” but among fellow intps nobody writes that , I have no idea why that happens maybe because they are introverted
I think most INTPs around their 30's would rather be dumb and happy than sad and "smart", at least I would.
Not me, I would never let go of my identity, which is tied to my thinking.
Ya honestly, and I am still in my early twenties. I think a lot about willful ignorance.
My opinion was like that at 16 already. ignorance IS bliss indeed
yup
No but I always wondered how it would be if I were as dumb and oblivious as others.
I miss my REM sleep. I hate this state of mind, This awareness is tormenting me. Suffering makes you live time in detail, moment after moment ; Here i am again in my toxic_loved room, no friends, no family. Just books, drugs and a lot of researchs. Same life, same rules and ironically, same existence. An existence that I didn't choose to be a part of. Having to deal with your basic needs in a place of injustice...
I feel completely detached from any country, any group.
I am a metaphysically displaced person 😶
Boy do I realte to this in a painful way
Great video and highly articulate ramblings! Uncanny to see so many INTPs, including myself, who have gone down the same rabbit hole of nihilism and scientific materialism and arrived at the conclusion that nothing matters, and yet still manage to find meaning in things like growing tomatoes in the backyard, as one commentator below said so aptly. Similar to how you expressed it, I came through the other side by essentially recognizing that same 'oneness' with the universe and a sense of being lucky that I have a shot at existence! I followed the logic of nihilism and materialism down to the sub-atomic level in search of some tiny evidence of free will and meaning or purpose, and I lost countless nights of sleep over the question and zoned out in countless classes and work meetings over the years pondering it all. The beautiful thing is that there is no end to that train of thought - there is no satisfactory logical conclusion that can be achieved to answer the 'why' and, at the end of the line, we're still left with the same mystery of creation that thoughtful men and women have grappled with for thousands of years. For me, the films of Terrence Malick, the poetry of Charles Bukowski, the novels of Tolstoy, the philosophy of the Taoists and the Stoics, and others are the closest that humankind has gotten to really understanding any of it.
Love watching things like this, it's legitimately like I'm watching a video of a paralell reality version of myself saying the same things that I think.
When you get that glimpse beyond the veil and see reality for what it is, everything shifts.
Sometimes I really do wish I could live until the end of time, just to see what happens.
By the time you're my age, your Fe manifests itself in escaping to the past--memories of better times--and YT is the vehicle--via movies, music, nostalgia. I have always maintained that the farther we move into the future, the more it allows us to escape to the past. It's what keeps me sane and balances out the logic and information seeking. Given current events, more recently I have been looking at (and analyzing :-)) various aspects of religion, which has reconnected me with spirituality (to a degree :-)). Relationships--yes--my wife and my cats. They are what I cherish. As to what gives life meaning--for me it is all of this, and it's enough.
This is just, extremely accurate, thank you very much for sharing that
As an intp who was raised christian;
Im ready to go into the next life this one has too many expectations
When I renounced my religion at 16 I remember reading a youtube comment on a video(probably about Ray Comfort) and it something to the effect of "yeah life is inherently pointless, that's why I make my own purpose".
I adopted that ever since. I don't care too much about silly things like the evitable death of everything. Nothing I can do about that.
I find nihilism to be a silly philosophy even if it's technically true if it just makes you sad and miserable in the end without helping then fuck it.
When you were talking about logic not being everything, I pictured Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka breaking through the ceiling in the glass elevator .. for every personality there is a world beyond ourselves and it's beautiful to discover.
Imo, the world of relationships is something that cannot ever be truly figured out or quantified. This is what gives me optimism to pursue it because you keep on learning. I was redpilled at a time and had lost hope in myself, but I found a lovely human being to share my life with for a small amount of time. There is no theory that truly explains the world of relationships. It is an individual experience where general truths do not matter
Heyo!! I'm a little late to the posting party, but I somewhat enjoyed the video. Though it was kinda depressing to watch you there because you (as most INTPs do) have a very pessimistic view of where the future is headed. Not to mention you think about the future of mankind more than your own personal experience or personal future. Also, you don't seem to have any hope. I have so much hope and want to share where I found it with you. Anyway, I think that I'll provide some useful advice for you and everyone else. And no, I'm not going to say "take it day by day." Because how in world does that help you?!? Sure, don't worry so much, and try to appreciate and understand what's around you and what can't be seen. That's nice I guess, but it doesn't help when you think about how it'll all end and how pointless this physical world really seems to be. What I advise you to do is to read the Bible and find a church of christ near you. Pursue a relationship with God. He created everything and gives meaning and purpose to life. The whole "dying sun" thing is not really a problem for Christians because our souls will live forever. God will create a new heaven and a new earth once this one passes away. And everybody who was faithful to him will live there forever where there is no more death and all is at peace. Still, the fact remains that nothing created here on earth will last. That is, nothing except relationships and the Word of God. That's right! Relationships with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and relationships with those around us. What function helps with relationships? Extraverted feeling! Maybe that's why it's important to develop it in order to find meaning. So if you learn how to gain the gift of eternal life through the hearing of God's word (the Bible), live faithfully in Christ, and build relationships, well, you've just found that which will never pass away or fade. You've found a meaningful existence. Congratulations 🎉. I hope that you will at least investigate what I've said in order to see if it's true. Be on guard for any bias or preconceived notions(your own and other people's). If nothing else, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself. Ponder what that means and then do it. What is love? What is a heart? Soul? Mind? Strength? How does one use those lovingly? How is that directed? Why should this be important? Who is your neighbor? What happens when you love them? What happens to you? What happens to them? What happens to the bonds between you? Should that affect how you love them? Do you love yourself? Why should you love yourself? Ask questions like these whenever you're reading the Bible or talking to Christians, or just thinking in general. Please, please, please learn what God has to say. It can save you in so many ways. You'll never regret it if you do. Anyway, if also want a practical way to develop Fe, then just do something nice for the people around you and try to make them feel good. You'll be addicted to doing this once you practice this for a while. It's so much fun. A more passive way to develope extraverted feeling is to tie it in with introverted sensing. That is, ask people how they feel about things all the time. And then remember that. Make other people's emotions one of the things you value. No, I won't give a reason to value it, just do it and you'll see. No, this ain't a trick. How, you say? Invest in those people and in your relationship with them. Cause in the end, if you INTPs aren't helping others, you're kind of wasting your life away and will never be happy or fulfilled. I've given my two cents and sincerely hope that this helps everyone who reads it. If you have any questions for me, just reply to this and I'll try to get back with you sometime. Also, if you just want to play chess or something, I'm your guy. My chess.com username is whalemate. Thanks for the content bro! I appreciate what you're doing. Best wishes!

Thank you bro, great advice and very much appreciated! Although I was brought up in a catholic school and surrounded by religious people the idea never really stuck with me. I can definitely see the merit in religion and the mindset it promotes, but the idea of letting a force which can’t be logically grasped guide and dictate my actions seemed too unrealistic to pursue. During times I feel I’m drained of all hope, however, I find myself praying to God (despite its illogicality), and it brings me a sense of peace that logic is incapable of offering.
If you don’t mind me asking, were you raised into Christianity? If not, did you too have doubts regarding its merit? And if so how did you overcome those doubts? Religion is something I’d very much like to pursue if I knew I had it in me to overlook its logical fallacies. Any input would be great!
@@intuitionexpress7753 Hi! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to you. I have not forgotten, and have written a veeeeeeery lengthy reply. I feel that I must apologize for its length and the amount of rambling I do. You see I just started typing and got swept away in the currents of my mind. I fear that I may have muddled things even more than they were before, but I think that even that is better than stagnation. Please let me know what you think of it and whether or not you're interested in learning about God and his plans for us. I am not a talented writer, but please try to look past that. Here's what I wrote:
Hello there! And General Kenobi!
It is very refreshing to hear such sincerity from you. Most people might not care to admit they have any doubts at all, but I do appreciate you and most other INTPs for embracing doubts. After all, it is doubts that one eventually learns what one believes in. Not to say that one cannot believe in the things they doubt. But rather that doubts prompt one to investigate thoroughly those things in which they question. That is, doubts demand one to find answers to the questions closest to their hearts. If it does not matter to you, then doubts will not really do anything at all because you can just walk away. But if it is important, then you will be forced to face that doubt. That said, in spiritual matters, there are doubts for and against a 'force which can't be logically grasped.' So I suppose the first thing to address is whether or not there is a spiritual aspect to life. Can everything one sees, hears, touches, tastes, and smells be all there is to reality? It might seem that way initially because the senses are all that humans have to form ideas about. But a study of the physical environment presents many questions which cannot be answered by the nature of the environment. Even the fact that our world has a nature seems to point to some more subtle force at work. The question of the origin of our world and kosmos is very important to consider. Why is everything so orderly when a progression towards chaos and disorder has been the only thing observed in the natural world? The way I see it, things we find in the world are evidences of some unknown force which cannot be seen. But there are a myriad of explanations for the state of our surroundings, and those must be considered. But I will not go into depth about that.
Now, there are other things which I think point to a spiritual world. Consider your own existence. What are you? Are you your body? I sincerely hope you don't believe that you are your body, because corpses have bodies, too; but corpses do not know any thing or act as they did in life. So where does the essence of people go when they die? Are you your thoughts? I don't think so, but you decide. Thoughts change quickly, but the one observing them and overseeing them stays the same. Are there times when you are unconscious or not thinking? I believe so. I know that INTPs think almost all the time, but there are moments when the thoughts stop. You zone out. Or you can be so focused on observing the moment (or possibilities), that your thoughts grow quiet. While it is not your preference, it does happen occasionally, and do you cease to exist when it does? What about other people? We both know that other people don't think all the time, lol. They still exist. Are you your feelings? I hope this one is easier for you to decipher. Feelings, like thoughts, are constantly changing, but the one feeling them remains the same. Surely you understand that there are times when you are unaware of your own feelings (almost all the time I'm sure). But yes, you do have feelings. How do I know? Because you care. And if anyone were to tell you that you don't care, then I'm certain that you would begin to feel very angry and frustrated, (Who are they to tell you what you care about?!? , etc.), though you may choose to deal with that by bottling up your excessively disproportionate and illogical reaction. BTW, don't bottle it up; instead, deal with it by feeling it when you are alone and then tell one friend about how you feel. It's healthier. Now, are you your experiences? Or are you your conscience? Experiences are an interesting concept because it involves memory. Are you your memories? No, I daresay that you aren't. Memories fade or become augmented (as does one's sense of reality), but you do not cease to exist when that happens, your choices are just influenced by it because you are accepting different information to be true or false. That's it. Are you your consciousness? You'll just have to take everyone else's words for it. Yes, you existed before you were aware of what existing meant. Maybe ask your parents :). So, as I see it, the question remains. What are you? Your very existence cannot be comprehended entirely.
I believe that you and I were created by a being who is beyond our comprehension. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55: 8-9)." I also believe that we are spiritual creatures residing in fleshly bodies in the physical world. That's food for thought. I believe that the Bible has all the best food for thought. In fact, it even tells us that it is. Maybe see if you can figure out how the Bible revealed that to me.
Anyway, there are many examples of things which we cannot comprehend as humans. We could consider the origin of motion. We could talk about the origin of ideas. But what one thinks about those things is rather subjective in the end. I believe that all things are created by God, and that He has revealed himself to us. None of the things mentioned above are quite enough for a true understanding of who God is and how he works. Those are all foolish philosophical theories about our world. They (the arguments) were made by humans and therefore can be disputed and offer no proof for solid belief or disbelief in the spiritual side of life (though deep down I think most people do not believe that we see all that there is). Where do beliefs in God arise? As I said earlier, all things initially come from God. The Holy Bible is a record of how God has revealed himself to us throughout all time. Everything in it is true. It was revealed to us by a higher power than humans, and must be either accepted or discarded in its entirety. Can one understand everything about God? By no means. God is eternal and infinite in all things good. He is also a spirit. So it actually makes sense that you are struggling to logically comprehend him. If we could completely understand him, then we'd both know that he isn't who he says he is.
Now what little we can know about God should be logical, that is, consistent with everything else we know about him. It should not have any apparent contradictions within it. Apparent self-contradictions is all that I know that logic can reveal. It does not show us every possibility, or even which possibilities are correct/true. Information is key when dealing with logical systems. That is why INTPs often make the famous 'if this, then that' statements. We are aware on some level that there are only so many logical possibilities, but that we do not yet have enough information to decide which one is the correct one. This can explain why logic is super useful for man-made systems, but is less accurate for natural systems. In man-made systems, one is aware of all the information in the system (because they put it there), and therefore can make statements with absolute certainty. But in natural systems, or systems which are preexisting and must be discovered or explored, one must make logical statements based upon observed 'facts.' But how does one come to accept those observed facts to begin with? What is at the foundation of our logical theories? In truth, it is not just every observation we make; for we do not believe everything we hear or see. Then what? The answer is in that last statement. It is beliefs. You are surely aware that logic is a construct, that is it is built by men similarly to how buildings are constructed- one level at a time, starting at the base. Just as every building has a foundation (for they are built on solid materials on the ground to be sturdy), logical constructs have a foundation of beliefs. It is rather foolish to think that logic could exist without beliefs, because people who hold to logic do so in the BELIEF that logic reveals truth. And they believe that based on nothing except the observation that it appears to work in the world. So beliefs are the bedrock of our inner worlds, yet they are formed by listening and watching the natural world. Does this not also point to some force which constructed the natural world based on principles not originally understood by us? The whole building example is one I found in the Bible. Jesus tells us that the only solid foundation for building our lives (that includes thoughts) is a belief in his words and teachings (Matthew 7:24-27, Luke 6:46-49). Jesus actually says that "he who hears my words and does them is like a wise man who built his house upon the rock." But what person will act on things which he does not believe in? So belief is implied in the verse, but it is not everything to having a solid foundation. The gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) were written so that people would believe in Jesus (John 20:30-31). God has inspired the prophets to record his messages to us. Those messages and revelations of a higher world are in the Bible and are the evidence/testimony which we can base a beliefs on. It is how we know where the solid ground is. If you would like to know more about how this, I'd be happy
Whether you like it or not, if you use logic, then you already allow 'forces which cannot be logically understood' to influence how you think, feel, and act. They are preexisting and not guaranteed to be correct or incorrect. That is why it is important to learn what the Bible has to say about matters. It illuminates the darkness of our understanding. It opens our blind eyes to the spiritual nature of our existence, and teaches us how to have a relationship with our creator. You wrote about doubts concerning logical fallacies, it would be easier for me to answer you about those if you named the specific doubts you have.
As for your other questions...
Yes, I was raised into Christianity. Yes, I have had doubts about in the past. I overcame those doubts by studying God's word, asking my trusted friends what they thought about those doubts and whether they had doubts, praying to God to teach me what I needed to know, and staying faithful to him. There are times when one does not understand why things happen the way they do, but if one stays faithful, then one begins to see what things are important and how much better God's plans are than one's own ideas. Please do pursue religious studies. Do not be afraid of finding logical fallacies, but rather embrace them and look for alternatives truths in their place. I am confident in validity of the Bible and its ability to change lives for the better.

P.S. Really, please do tell me what you think. It is my hope that we can learn from each other. :)
I can relate to this, so true. Until the age of 20, the whole world was just logic to me, then I began to realize the areas where this approach fails. I made some bad life decisions that were calculated just with pure logic and didn't work well in real life. It caused me existencial crisis. I think this was the point I began to consider other perspectives on life approach than the strictly logical one.
Any real INTP should be smart enough to understand that the questions on personality tests are so vague and generalized, and the majority of the answers depend on the situation, and that we are subjectively prone to answer in a way that we hope will give the kind of final "score" that fits our self image and boosts our ego, and that in truth we are not one unchanging personality, but a multiplicity of different states that depend on the current state of our internal energy, which is affected by a number of different factors that are completely unaccounted for in the test, so the only use for labelling oneself as a specific personality type is to box oneself into a false label that has absolutely nothing to do with reality
Any real INTP...
@@Hala-vr9sq Haha yes, I'm glad you understand my humor
Use four sides of the mind and the temperaments to type yourself instead of the test. For example INTP > informative >responding >control these are observable ways of dealing with the world around us. You can type people by observing their interraction style.
My day absolutely consists of researching things. 100 percent%. Just came through another existential crisis after realizing that spacetime is an illusory construct. I agree, logic is not everything at all and it can lead to depression which it did for me. I am a girl in love with a girl and I dont even care if she can be with me or not, I just spent two days working on a present for her and I feel happy, that I have the know how to help her gives my life meaning.
It’s quite funny that intps keep researching anything like spacetime and they just keep going even though there is a danger for existential crisis and such things but intps just keep researching no matter what. I just realised how ironic that is
@@DaDodoDev I never really realized that. I just don't stop, there is always the next level for me. Drives me nuts. However I realized that after more research the Psychologist who tested me was right, I am actually INTJ but I can relate alot to INTPs. I tend to study only the data related to the plan I am trying to execute. But I still cant stop, once a goal is formulated I will be willing to risk everything to get it done even if it goes against logic. I wish I was an INTP though, I met one the other day and wow. Just brilliant!
@@AA-lq5pu i am definetly an intp and because of that my brain just keep wandering around on all the tabs on my computer (one day i found myself Wachting a video about competetive GeoGeusser and i have never played it sometimes i wish my life was a little bit more structered maybe a sideEffect og being an inxx is that you Think every other Personality type is better (i have an Enfp friend who against all the Stereotypes is really organised and sometimes i just wish i was an other type) but like you my brain doesnt turn off when the Sun is 8 minuttes under the horison it just keep on going and there is no ending in sight;
@@DaDodoDev That is so random and yet so cool! Love it. I had no idea that INs tend to think others are always better. I never feel adequate. I definitely relate to your brain not switching off, It is almost 12 at night here. Everyone else is asleep. Feel free to share anything that you want. I love learning from INTPs.
@@DaDodoDev I have 14 tabs open right now. You?
Don’t mean to be disrespectful at all but I’ve never felt that way. I have never felt like life is pointless, perhaps because I love learning and figuring things out. And I truly believe we are no where near the end of the road as far as understanding our universe. In the BILLIONS of years until the sun explodes, I think we will have moved far past the reaches of our own solar system, and there won’t even be a trace of us still here by that point. Though war on the other hand... I think war could ruin us, return us to the Stone Age if we blow each other up. That is something that depresses me.
I do enjoy this type of content. Advice is always appreciated especially personality advice and your advice is really helpful. I think many INTPs like typology because it's a way for us to understand people in a more logical way, as well as ourselves. Do you agree? I turned 30 yesterday and as a woman who went to an all girls high school, I felt extremely different to the people around me. I had very few friends and spent a lot of time observing others. I learned a lot about other people by doing so. Unfortunately, this also lead me to thinking that it was normal for people to behave the way those teenage girls did and I assumed that wherever I went afterwards, it would be the same. It really wasn't, which was a relief when I finally realised and this made me less scared of people. I held onto lots of negative beliefs about myself and others because of that school experience. From the research I've done, I think that some INTPs (perhaps females who have spent a lot of time around their ow gender?) will have a much more developed Fe and it can make them think that they are feelers. I've had to work on my Fe in the past 10 years to survive, at least in the workplace. I thought I was an INFP but I have zero Fi. I didn't really understand Fi but went along with it when I tested INFP on 16 personalities a few years ago. I fit myself into the INFP box somehow believing that I must lead with my own values. Inferior Fe was ultimately what lead me truly understand that I am an INTP. Anyway, more Fe content would be great, as I think it ultimately helps us to grow and face our fears.
too lazy to read this
I agree with your reason of why we love typology
U literally described my life lol great stuff man. I'm 32 now and the last ten years was a journey.
I think your right on point when you mentioned when you get older like 30's and 40's your Fe is more developed my Fe is strong so yeah Ti isn't the only function to use .
Wow can relate so much... it's been a while since I haven't found INTP content that resonnates that much.
Thanks pal
"the more dopamine flows through your head...and the more dopamine flows through your head the more you wanna keep doing it". SPOT ON ! And by the way, as I'm always looking for new insights on personality types, that's exactly how I ended up watching your video !!!
before I know the MBTI's theory,
in high school I even wondered what the difference was between me and a robot, because I lived only guided by logic
I started to believe I was wasting my life, so I came to the logical conclusion (ironically) that I would lead a healthier life if I gave more importance to feelings.
in parts it worked, but you don't learn to hear your feelings so quickly, only when high school ended and i was alone i started to understand better the importance of social relationships and only when my father died, I realized the lack that made me not able to express my feelings.
These were the worst times of my life, and even today I find it difficult to find meaning in my life that is not related to leaving something big for the next generations, even though I know how difficult it is to be important at this level, and even if I could, as you mentioned in the video, " what's the point if we're all going to die? "
that's it, sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm still learning English and I'm still not very good
😂😂😂 INTP here. I once was sure about my career path. Over the course of studying, I found out, that despite the strong logical element, the success relies on forming relationships, and, that the field is so oversaturated with experts, the chances of me slaving as postdoc till the rest of my life and getting nowhere are very high. 4 years later, I graduated with gazillions of debt and didn’t follow up.
I have invested some time into researching the next thing and the ins and outs of human relationships. I’m breaking out in sweat when I think about getting out there and putting time into it, cause I’m afraid that despite trying, I’ll suck at both, or will find out that my idea of it is idealistic and I’m on a path of becoming a glorified corporate cog. I watch people with average intelligence and moderate discipline getting ahead in life and wonder how I can get over this.
i was your 1k subscriber, you deserve so much more
This got me. Thank you for the post.
You are doing very good work sir! Terbulant-Intp here, struggling ... I think you may just saved my life if I started taking actions in future ... In my opinion, this experiment of yours to just say whatever was in your mind was a great success and undoubtedly a very noble work! please keep on posting such videos (being selfish here 😬) ... But seriously, THIS IS CLEARLY AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE MANY LIVES !!!
Logic never Fails people. people fail logic 😕
Hello, TH-cam started to suggest me your videos lately and this is the first I've attentively watched till the end.
This was extremely sad, at least for me as an INTP who's deeply conscious of the importance of feelings and human interaction being in my 20s. I think we INTPs have a love/hate relationship with our emotions: we try hard to reject them, not only because they're illogical but because they're scary, we don't know how to deal with them so we'd rather avoid them.
Anyway I appreciated the honesty of this video, I know how hard it is for us to expose ourselves, so thank you.
(The drama put in "the sun explodes and everyone dies" made me laugh for a moment though 😂)
Best vedio on INTP...Out there✌️
always researching is not something intps do, only when they find the topics they are interested in and then they go full on (but very rare case), they actually get bored very easily so they turn to games and other dopamine producing things(porn is big one).
hedonistic is more likely what intps would be then being nihilistic.
all they need to do is ask people what they value and the nihilism problem is gone.
This video really hit home 😅
I am most probably INTP. I think there is a way how enforce an INTP to use other cognitive functions so that he doesn't get stuck in his Ti Ne land. Put him to an environment with super smart people who can constantly beat his logic. Unfortunately, he may become even more introverted, because his Ti Ne land is being attacked. However, after time he has to admit that his logic is not as brilliant as he expected and he tries find other ways how make his life meaningful. Perhaps by using other cognitive functions.
Yes! That would actually work haha. Good input.
Love your Jordan Peterson book in the background ❤️
i wonder what having friends feels like
I'm 23, INTP ..and I hit this state last year ...i have no clue what to do now to be better in life..
Thanks man
Yeah bro, glad I could offer some insight
I'm still learning about the functions but I'm pretty sure I'm an INTP. I've been relentlessly researching since childhood, often at the expense of developing my social life (which has sometimes concerned me, and sometimes been entirely fine lol). I'm 30 now, and have gone through several nihilistic, depressive existential crises since I was a teenager. I see Peterson in the background... went through a big phase of him too haha. I hadn't really thought about it, but yeah, I've learned so many systems! This will be nonsense to some and that's ok, but I think I have finally found "the solution" to my INTP/identity/existential struggles (driving much of my previous research) and it's nonduality. To any INTPs who are struggling, I highly recommend researching this haha. I wasn't going to share this (especially because I get the impression INTPs may not be as receptive to it) but I felt compelled after reading some of the comments... I see my past self in them and I remember how much pain I was in. This isn't set in stone
I don’t think logic can fail, it must be that we can’t be perfect at using logic so we can’t always rely on logic
me totally freaking out and feeling like everything is pointless.
Trying to figure out how being emotional is going to stop the world from ending. The world is skewed to all personality types based on what they do and dont value. It's not just us. I do agree we should work on our Fe ... but emotions isn't what brings us happiness. As someone who has developed their Fe... I find the most fulfillment in "things" and "systems". That is our purpose. That is what brings us fulfillment. Not people. Unless you're a SX subtype whos constantly looking for "the one perfect match". The other two subtypes of INTPs can literally die alone and be content and fulfilled if they are able to make some sort of framework that helps society or pur friends at the very least. That is our legacy. Not going down some emotional path of building families. Life is unfair and you cant have your cake and eat it too. We were gifted with intelligence. That comes at the price of emotional intelligence. I agree we should try and be more balance, but this seems to imply we should start leaning on emotions to find lifelong fulfillment.
True, INTPs lead with Ti, There is no getting around this. The INTP mind wants what it wants and no amount of cajoling will get it to be as naturally Fe fluent as other types.
That being said, you can engage in "weakness management" with your Fe. So, don't work in a field that requires a constant use of Fe or socialize extensively with non geeks.
An example would be, you are a coder or scientific researcher but you need to interface with your personal assistant or investors from time to time. Figure out behavior and words that will upset them and commit them to memory for the few ocassions where you deal with them. Do not be overly blunt.
im not at all that familiar w mbti functions etc but ill do my research after watching this. ive spent the past year trying to word out how i percieve life and i think the system thing makes sense. i do it a lot as well. i just dont know how to get out of it. i used to stay indoors all the time so i forced myself outdoors and enjoyed doing so until i didnt. i love these systems when theyre made and used but i hate them when im bored with them because ill have to make more. its just a constant search for enrichment in any way just to satisfy my mind. man..
Bravo 👏
I think it's not so much that we don't value relationships as we need the safety of a logical world to make space for letting our guard down in the uncontrolled world of relationships/feelings. Much like you budget to make splurging in retirement something we can survive I think knowing that our world and thoughts are ordered we have a safety rope that we won't get crushed if our Fe inferior wanders too far into the unknown. Feeling types are competent enough they don't suffer as much by an emotional setback in a relationship, where we question every aspect with a once burned twice shy feeling. We all want relationships, but too many INTPs either people please or dismiss feelings all together from the point that being genuine and intentional in building relationships is too high risk to the ego.
oh my god..everything that you say is correct..and i agree with u..❤️
And the hardest part being an INTP even when you realize (not think, but beig sure) that everything is meaningless after all, do not fall into depression. Isolation from people you don't understand (~90%) into your mind not helping either...
There is no meaning to this life that we can perceive while here. So what should we do?
I believe the answer is to practice ἀγάπη (agápē).
That’s the best I’ve got so far.
This is my 2nd video and both video im crying. This video made me cry even more. I feel like your talking about my life right now.
Mate looks like a ENTP
I'm never satisfied with anything I do, specially thinking because I'm aways like "If I have thought of that other way 30 minutes ago I would have consider more ideas and I would probably have more thoughts to think about"
Nice one 👍
I'm not INTP, but the intp i know best is very happy with doing his own thing, it seems. Has great success with his business and economy, buys new books constantly,and reads them. Travels and gets new experiences.
But is currently on the search for love. Is in his early 30s.
I would love to become closer friends with him, but when it comes to talking about emotions: he isn't really expressing many of them. Seems like his emotional depth is impossible to reach.
Is this because emotions are already analysed and deemed unnecessary to talk about. Still got no clue about that.
I'm just lost in life and everything i have accomplished so far feels useless
Is not the battle of the moral man in this world a battle with corruption? Does INTP's dedication to Truth, commitment to logic and ethics, comfort with solitude and ever expansive mind make him the perfect hermit and or ascetic? What would be wrong with that? He might miss out on the next mass shooting or latest Tik Tok dance but is that so bad?
Thank you man

does watching this video count as research? cause im using your examples on other ideas and so on. you as an intp probably know what im talking about.
Yes! Taking in any information regardless of the source is considered research for the INTP. Videos, articles, anything.
I will have to disagree to an extend. I’ve only just recently realised I am an INTP and it all has fallen into place for me. Astonished to see they this archetype has a weakened Fe, as that is the case for me too; it can be difficult at times which ends up in disregarding other peoples emotions, though I am actively trying to improve. However, I can’t find anything more fascinating than an INTP having either a general or very specific purpose in their lives that benefits society. You are slightly on the shadows here, your opinion remind me of my depressive nihilism at times of desperation. Indeed there is the sun exploding in a billion years; though there is also hope for the present and imminent future. I think we have loads to sort out currently and there can’t be a more exciting time for an INTP! Only annoying thing is that a lot has been discovered already and with AI we will indeed be a bit on the edge for more know ledge
Wow! There are SO many wannabe INTP’s in the comments. INTP’s are not religious, we grew out of the imaginary friend stage years ago. Neil deGrasse Tyson was recently on the Colbert Show and briefly touched on the ending of the universe. Humanity won’t end when the sun explodes, by that time humans will probably not even be on earth. Anyway, Neil’s point was the ever expansion of the universe, ending in universes, stars, molecules and eventually atoms themselves being separated. Scientists have come to call this the big “Rip.” Now the interview itself was beyond rudimentary, considering Colbert is Catholic and kept trying to “unhear” things in real time. It related more to resurrecting Einstein himself to ask him what he thought of the latest episode of Real Housewives. But nonetheless Neil has a way of getting excited about learning and science without talking down to people, however he stays humble. By humble I mean he knows he isn’t living forever. As an INTP, we get SO lost in thought that we start asking “what’s the point?” Although as intriguing as it is to ponder the end of the universe, we need to know our time and place and stop over analyzing and start learning something new. People have jobs today that didn’t exist even 5 years ago, there’s always something to learn. As a depressed INTP, I get it, nihilism is easier. But it does nothing to help other people. Something INTJ’s could use some work on. Logically we know everything will come to an end eventually, our knowledge can be passed down generations but we will be dead, we can no longer add to the conversation. So logically we should try and add as much useful content as we can. As for the big Rip, time and space will no longer exist, and neither will logic itself. If INTP’s and of course INTJ’s are based in logic then we are rendered useless and no longer needed. Logicians can’t “logic” when logic doesn’t exist. So we should actually stop thinking about it because it’s inevitable...something an INTP will never do, hence... imperfection.
Thank you :)

Is that an absolute statement? HMMMMMM . . . Nope, that doesn't make any sense.

Thank you!
Sounds very infj to me. Ni first function having a conversation with Ti third function which goes like this: You know dear Ti, logic is not everything, putting big emphasis on meaning (Ni) even nihilism in itself is a meaning topic (Ni), thinking about what is it like when one is 30 or 40 years old (Ni long term thinking, vision), you know dear Ti you are smart but this is not enough,(Logic is not reliable!) there people around you (Fe) relationships matter (Fe)... how about having an impact (the wet dream of infjs)
creating new things to share with the world and having new experiences/hobbies is how I mainly enjoy life. The annoying roadblock I have right now is in my animation I need to make audio for my characters and I really don't want the audio to be bad and bring down the overall animation. I put a lot of work into my animated show (even thoe I did almost all the work in 2 days) so thats why I want the audio to match it to same level.
I’m an INTP and consider myself a free thinker, truth seeker. I’m only concerned about what is true and will hear all sides. I dug deep and discovered shocking truths about the corruption, hidden agendas, and deception of this world that ultimately lead me to the acknowledgement of our Creator. Jesus is coming back soon and I urge everyone to at least consider that the Bible is true. I finally rationalized that if I was TRULY seeking TRUTH then I would research it and now my life is completely changed. Praise God

I personally love random vids. I hate when I know what to expect! love the "eureka" moment you are having here bc I feel like I have 9000 of those per day 🤣
I feel like I also realized a few years ago... what was the point of accumulating all this book learning + knowledge if I never shared it?! (and was also absolutely terrible at articulating all the ideas in my head?) that realization is around when I started my channel.
hopefully the INTPs that need to hear this find it, and sooner than I did! unfortunately I think we're one of those types that has to learn the hard way, especially when younger 🤣 how old are you, out of curiosity?
p.s. new sub here! 😊
Haha thank you! Yes!! I love TH-cam because it gives us a platform to share the unlimited thoughts floating around our head 24/7 haha. And I’m 19 years old currently.
I hate that you're right :)
So...INTPs can now find meaning and purpose in procreation?
It is not procrastination... it is extensive planning... the worst and best thing the world can do is motivate an intp into action.
Don't believe me?
Go find yourself and Inpt and piss them off, it will take some effort but I have confidence in You, insult their mind and contradict everything they say... when you win yiur prize of pissing one of us off. you will quickly learn what that planning really looks like.
@@snarkymcsnarkface1863 Hey... so I said proCREATION not proCRASTINATION. Further, I am with an INTP and the only time I piss him off is when he has been rambling for a paragraph and I'd like to get a word in before I lose my thought. He's a good planner in certain areas, and he will agree, such as finances and business but he says I am better planning in life as a whole. I can't tell you the number of times he his blown away by my "life hacks"... he calls if "life hacks" I call it living.
how old are you?
