I do listen to my songs especially during the productions and depending on the song I do listen to it multiple times after finishing it.
I do like my songs and I do like to listen more but I am so lazy.
And what's annoying is that I keep listening to my song before even finishing and polishing things sometimes when what I need to do is to finish polishing and mixing.
So I really don't understand some people saying they don't like their songs...
In a way, anyone can have a black/white thinking but what exactly should it be defined.
What I noticed when I talked with people who can't hold multiple ideas at the same time, they are not so precise about micro things.
How I see is that when you are constructing a building and the foundation is not so precise, the outside, how it looks can be very specific, just one rigid building without much flexibity but internal structure is a mess.
It's not necessarily always like this but I saw this.
In a sense, the outside is pretty much black and white but the tiniest elements that they hold are fragile and ambiguous, so their macro level view points are not so black and white.
While for me as an INTP, I do care about precision. When it's 90% correct it's just 90% correct and that doesn't mean it's 100% correct.
But caring too much about the precious often means that some foundations are so rigid.
When there are little to no flexibility in micro things, often time, what we construct can be more flexible.
In that sense, I don't think INTP is a black and white thinker at all.
And when it's taken as a black and white thinking it'd be either the idea is right or wrong.
Do Android phones count?
Nobody really mentions it and termux dies frequently on my daily driver so in that sense it might not be exact 24/7 (it might be possible to monitor it from another android phone)
But it's been great for me with Opencode go.
I could make python flask web apps, scraping can be done, I can make a movie file with HyperFrames as well.
Android phone can install small Ubuntu or something so you can run some arm compatible apps there and Hermes can control them too.
I also feel it's safe because it'd be a bit hard to break android itself without root permission.
I first thought about having VPS and I'm still willing to have one if it's free but Hermes Agent on my phone is quite powerfully.
Yeah, it was probably just a way to say it.
Mirin is indeed used a lot instead of sugar but it's supposed to be subtle so it's not something we use the term sweet especially the overall taste is salty, but if that's what makes people have such generalization, then that would be that.
And it could be somewhat regional too. Tohoku people don't use mirin that much so they might say everthing tastes like mirin...
I mean indian curry could have source of sugar, like they could use honey, sugar and fruits. There are sweet curry indeed but that doesn't make it everything is sweet.
For udon it's mirin that is used and it's subtle, it's not supposed to drink it. How much you use tonkatsu sauce is pretty much upto you and I don't even use sauce at all actually so I just eat it without sauce unless it's miso Katsu which I like and is probably quite sweet. And corn pizza isn't everything, and if corn itself is considered sweet then any food is sweet in such logic... There is tamagoyaki but there also is medsmayaki...
Karaage isn't sweet either. Onigiri omusubi natto tofu yakizakana aren't sweet...
I really don't understand this claim as I'm Japanese. Ramen is not sweet, Udon is not sweet, soba isn't sweet, Katsu isn't sweet, miso soup isn't sweet, shushi isn't sweet, pizza isn't sweet, curry isn't sweet, what is sweet?
Edit
Okay, people really do down vote my comment so let me be clear.
Typical Japanese breakfast
Miso soup: no sugar no mirin
Tonjiru: no sugar no mirin
Fish: no sugar no morin just salt
Natto: depends, if it's just soy sauce, then no sugar.
Rice: no added sugar nor mirin
Tofu: no sugar no mirin
Tamagokake Gohan: no sugar no morin
Medama yaki: no sugar no mirin
Sashimi: no sugar, no mirin
Onigiri: no sugar, no mirin
Daikon oroshi: no sugar no mirin
Neko manma🐱: No sugar no morin
In comparison McDonald's hamburgers have sugar in buns. So if you count them as sweet food, then many Japanese food is indeed sweet but certainly not everything if you really think about what the Japanese breakfast looks like.
Edit 2
You guys are right. Japanese Indian curry is quite sweet indeed 💀 And an Indian/Nepal curry restaurant I often would go to actually was not sweet and the restaurant name had salt in it.
It's complicated. Each county has very different reasons to have a low birthrate.
In East Asian countries except Japan, having a single child is often optional for their choice due to educational cost or social structure.
Historical single child policy China has essentially changed the social norm, society is not made for having multiple childrens in a family. For South Korea, having single child and focus on the child for competitive society is often considered an optimal choice rather than spending money on two kids.
Japanese birthrate is low because so many people aren't married, yet having two childrens aren't so uncommon. This is big because the number is doubled by that compared to the society where having a single child is the norm.
That said, I think it's very difficult to grasp why this thing has been happening in many countries.
I'm Japanese and love Indian food and the great availability of Indian/nepal/Sri Lankan restaurants is one of the few things that I really appreciate about how Japan is when it comes to food.
This is very special because if you visit other East Asian countries, affordable indian restaurants are rare. Japanese people love curry and while Japanese curry is very different than Indian curry, still Japan is the popularizer of curry in East Asian domain, they don't love curry that much but without Japan they probably had curry even less, which makes Japan a very curry loving nation.
And Japan internally having two different types of curry co-existing, the authentic one and the Japanese one, is also quite amazing. This is a rare thing to occur. Oh don't forget we actually do have Thai curry too!
So if these restaurants are gone, that's terrible 😞
Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED talk
Image the negative outcome was to eat literal dog shit and get diarrhea instead of death and the game was held among 10 people in a room.
And also the question was phrased like if you press red, you get nothing and if you press blue, you have to eat shit and get diarrhea when more than 50% of people press red button.
Would you press blue? Hmmmm
自分が覚えたときは、Thは濁るときはDの発音のイメージで最初は使いはじめたよ。
もともとHipHopとかスラングとかでIn the houseはIn da houseとなったり、DA PUMPと呼ばれるグループがいるように、the→daと言うように表記することを知っていました。歌やラップも好きだったのでそういうので、そこから自然と苦労せず発音できるようになりました。
厳密にはThは、dと比べると舌ベロがやや前になるだけ、より歯に当たる、歯の舌に当たる感じです、結果的に。なのでよく、「したを歯で挟む」みたいな言われ方がありますが、結果的にそうなるだけで、むしろそういう考え方だとうまく発音できないだろうし、混同のもとでしょうね。
それにそこまで前に出さなくてもよくて、ちょっと挟まる、歯の下の方にあたる程度でもいいです。（力を抜けば前の方に来るかも？）あとはthingなど濁らない場合は、濁らないように発音するだけなので、そこまで難しくはないとは思います…
実際にthの発音は、比較的難しく、地域や方言によって同一ではありません。例えばイギリスのある方言では、 thの濁る発音はv、濁らない発音はfで代用されます。bruvというスラングがありますが、brotherから来てる単語であり、th→vの変化が見られます。my bruvah~
また他の地域（東南アジア等）でもthがtで代用されることもあります。something → some ting
この場合、threeとtreeの発音がほぼ同じになります…
まあ…英語を母国語/母語とする圏内だけでもいろいろな発音の仕方があるので上記のように（d, t, v, f）で代用しても問題ないと思います。とりあえずDを基準にするのが一番楽、自然だとは思います。
Small decisions tend to have small impact on you no matter which one you chose. This actually probably provides vagueness.
Or maybe we can Interpret it as a vague question to answer with lesser amount of information provided.
So therefore it's like an AI was given a vague question and struggling to reply for such a simple question.
I think the same thing could happen to INTPs. So it's probably not just anxiety. Narrowing the possibility is kinda hard.
「エビデンスがない」は誤りです。
日本経済新聞が、石和温泉にある旅館やホテルなど40の主要施設を対象に調査を試みると、中国資本に買収された施設は温泉街全体の25%を占め、既に10軒に達していることが分かった。

理解力ない人「あんたのほうが理解力ない！俺のほうが皮肉言ってるんだ！お前の言ってるのは言い訳だ」
なにこの幼稚な言い方はなんなんだよ笑 言葉のキャッチボールできるようにもう少し頑張ろうか笑
こっちはちゃんと色々説明したろ、読んでないのか？それを理解すればいいだけの話だろうが。理解したなら理解したって言えばいいだけなのに。理解できないなら、ここが理解できませんって言えばいいのに。
あと俺は最初にお前がダブスタで草とか言い出した時に、お前の言ってることの意味がわからないかったから、俺のことじゃないよね？って聞いたんだよ、説明しながらね。お前が皮肉だろうがどうであろうが、そう質問することでお前の言うことを理解しようと思ったんだよ？そしたら君が勘違いしてたのが判明したわけだよ。
対して君は皮肉を理解できずにその後の説明にも関わらず勝手に解釈して誤解してたってわけだが…
あと君は気づかないと思うけど、君は周りに判断してもらおうか、などととんでもない発言をしていたが、それって、俺の言ってる内容ではなくて、誰かの評価で物事を判断しようとしているっていう点では、「言っている内容じゃなくて誰がいうかで判断する」っていうのと本質的に同じことだよ。 だから君は自分でそれやろうとしてたんだよね。
内容を見て判断する人だったら絶対に言わないことだよ。
まあ何言っても通じないだろうし、AIにも相談してみたらいいと思うよ。
言ってることめちゃくちゃなのはお前だよ笑
まったく会話にならないし感謝の言葉もないし、 お前が整理したいとか抜かしてちゃんと説明したのに、あとは読む人に判断してもらえばいいんじゃないかな、じゃねえよ笑。
それで俺のがDVされたら、お前は心のなかで「やっぱり私は正しくてこいつはバカだった」とか思って満足する気かよ笑
てめえの脳みそで判断しろよてめえが言い出したんだからな。まあ、お前にとっては謝ったら負け認めたら負けだもんな、難しよな（皮肉だぞこれ）。
お前に理解力ないし、理解する気もから、「説明になってない」って判断になってお前は呆れてるわけだよ。「皮肉でいったんだよ」という一文が説明文なんだよ。お前の中ではそれが言い訳やら後出しやらに勝手にすり替わってんだよ。 だから、それを客観的に示して「相手の発言を勝手に脳内補完して都合よく認識する」っていうのが見て取れるようにそう書いたんだよ。
論理的に考えられないし理解力もないお前にはまじで理解できないかもしれないが、少しは頭使ってくれよ。
自由に発言していいが、その後どういうわれてもどうだとか俺に言ってきたよな（バカと言われる等） 理解する気ないんだったら、その意味をわからせることになるぞ。
お前のコミュニケーションの問題点は少なくとも以下があげられる
・相手の発言を勝手に脳内補完して都合よく認識する ・皮肉を理解できない ・主語等をはっきり言わない（ダブスタで草としかいわない） ・相手に対して素直に答えられず、別のことを言いだす
それとな、俺の前のコメントは、誰がいうかをみていう典型だとかどうとか書かれていたが、俺からしたら芥川賞の人が言っているなんてまるで見てないから、芥川賞の人が言ってるんだもんなっていうのは皮肉で言ったんだよ。皮肉って意味わかる？
また勘違いされると思ってるからいうけど、 ・こいつは共産党と関係あるぞ→だから内容がおかしい！or 内容が正しい
・言っている内容から共産党と関係ありそう→実際に検索したらいろいろ情報がでてきた（俺のコメントはこっちだ）
この2つは全然違うぞ、まーじでさぁ、マジでわかんないんだったらどうすんのこれ？ 万が一これでもわからない場合は、AIに助けてもらったらきっと理解できるんじゃね。一応、まだAIという手があるよ。
がんばって理解してくれよ、助けてやるよ
理解力なさすぎ、同じ説明になるぞ。分からなくて申し訳ないので説明してください、って礼儀正しく言えばいいのに笑 呆れたとか…あのさあ、俺があんたにどんな印象持ってるか想像できるか？「呆れた」なんてよく言えるよな。その脳みそに驚いたよ。
属性を決めつけた、も意味不明だぞ。なーにがお手付きだよ笑どっからそんな言葉が出てくるんだよ笑
脳内妄想が激しすぎるよ。俺は話しの内容から判断して、共産党と関わりがありそうだ（支持者等）なと、内容から判断しました。勝手に脳内妄想するなよな。誰が言ったかについて全く見ていません。内容見て判断したって言ってるんだよ。 やってるのはこんな感じ。 判断→確認→予想的中 もし、確認しなくても、既に判断してるって話だ。わかるか？
次は「芥川賞の人」が言ってるんだもんなというのは、皮肉だ。お前は理解力が足りなかったから皮肉が、理解できなかったんだよ。でもそれは説明してるんだよ。
この記事を読んで価値を見出す人は「芥川賞」という肩書を重要視してるわけだろ？俺はしてない。それも説明したろ、くだらないって。だから勘違いしてるんだよお前がよお
「言ってることを見て思った」って俺は言っているんだよ。芥川賞だから、とか共産党関係あるとかだとかそういう話ではないのだ。お前が勝手に脳内妄想してダブスタだのなんだのわけわからんことぬかしてるんだよ。
あくまでも最初の判断は内容なんだよ。赤旗に出てくるか出てこないかによって判断したわけでわないって言ってんだよ。 なんでわかんねーんだよ。なんでなんだよ？？？ほんとになんでなんだ？？？？ほんとにわかんない？ ほんとーにわかんない？
だからダブスタにならないんだよ。それも説明したろ。
マジでがんばって理解してくれ。
いや、文脈やら文面から共産党とか関わりありそうだと感じたから、予想が当たってるかどうか試したら、やっぱり出てきたから当たったなって思っただけだよ。
文豪が共産党員だろうとそうじゃなかろうと個人の自由だし私にとってはどうでもいい。共産党支持者なら、この文豪も共産党員なのか、同士！とか言って喜べばいい話じゃねーの？
赤旗にアレルギーはないけど、ジャーナリズム的な観点で見たら、当然、赤旗は中立ではないというのは客観的にそうだよ。むしろ、その前提を理解した上で赤旗新聞は消費しないとメディアリテラシーや批判的思考の無さに繋がる。
DVしてる人にとってはその事実をいうだけでもはや都合が悪いみたいだ…
I don't know a solution but I also have some sort of obsessive thoughts like that. I feel people hate me or they will hate me. However I think this is due to my Fe. I don't know how they actually feel about me and I'm assuming they hate me due to my insecure Fe. While that is what's going on but underlying conditions like depression could make this worse I think. I don't think it's normal.
But logically, it's just a bubble and they actually don't hate me nor hate you. Some do, some did, but like nah.
Yeah I don't know if it's a Se thing but I get it and I am struggling so hard in my country where people talk exactly like that due to the culture and the language. Maybe I might not struggle exactly the same way because as it's so common here, that, and there are not the hardest for me.
But when things are not specified, my Ne kicks in and I think about multiple options and that makes it hard to tell which one. I think this is a Ne thing for us and not having decent Ne could perhaps lead to more simplified, less specified use of the word that may lead to that kind of confusion.
To explain a bit, in Japanese it's common to have no subject and object in a sentence. We don't even use some common pronouns like he/him kinda stuff either.
I do not necessarily think that the japanese right wing is more vocal than the left wing. I would agree that depending on the platform, right wing people are more vocal and easy to recognize because they are just nationalistic and identifiable. At least they are almost anywhere.
But In fact the lefties are quite active on X as well. They have achieved trend words/hashtags on X/Twitter multiple times. I wouldn't say they are more vocal but their existence can't be ignored. They are more vocal for the demographic.
うわ、質問に答えたら、今度は指図してきたよ。それってあなたが私に余計な世話焼いてるんだけど…
追記 失礼な皮肉をあなたが言ってくるから、こうやって返したんだけど…さらに言えば、あなた自身の指摘はまともだと思っているかもしれないけど、まともでもないからね。我々に世話を焼く、という言い方で私の行為をラベリングしているが、実際は世話を焼くという意図はなく質問に答えただけ、そのうえでこうしたほうがいいと他人の自由を無視して指図するの言うのは、まともではない。
本当に幼稚すぎるし、理解力も思考力もないようだから、人にメッセージ送らないほうがいいし、これはまともな指摘だよ、と私があなたに言うのが失礼なのと同じことだよ。
3. There's no "should." but
In a general situation, the person who cooks knows more about the environment, the kitchen, therefore when you think about the effectiveness, if the person who cooks washes the dishes, then it yields a better outcome.
And if someone who didn't cook handles the situation, there's a chance of sabotage etc because as I said there is an imbalance of knowledge as well as unshared interests between them, therefore there could be some sort of principal-agent problem. The outcome can be slightly compromised.
And knowing these facts these two parties essentially have their priorities, for example, for someone who cooked, you have to decide if you like the better outcome/management, the cost of doing it. You can save time if you delegate it.
For the person who didn't cook, washing dishes generally gains negative return and not washing leads to positive return, so for them, not washing them is the best choice unless there's another, future game. And in real life there are more things than that.
So if you put these into a matrix then, someone who cooked should wash it if that's fine and you want to maximize the outcome. But as I said there are other factors. For example if this was under a condition like "if you don't wash dishes then I won't cook anymore!" Then the game theory matrix changes.
If I were someone who cooked then I would be fine doing it by myself and if I were someone who didn't cook then I don't want to wash it.
Ultimately delegating it to a dish washing machine can minimize principal against problems so that'd be good.
I also think the op is INFP this is because there's reasonings coming from other people, tests, description, and asking people, which I think is Te.
INTP may have more analytical and annoying (as in lengthy) explanations. I have this and that and these are related to that but at the same time this has that and because that one is more like that so probably this is that while that is thought to be not that kind of stuff...
Btw the whole reason to write this is just to say your profile pic is cute.
I think IQ and MBTI are related in some ways.
I have read a free e book titled "How to Know Your I.Q. Level without Taking the Test"
And what the book says is basically a certain IQ range has certain characteristics. And when I was reading, I felt some descriptions can be associated with certain MBTI types traits/stereotypes/functions. The book says nothing about mbti but I couldn't help linking MBTI because I have also seen the giftedness chart of MBTI where INTP has the highest chance of being gifted.
For INTPs, I believe gifted (let's say 130-145) people are not so uncommon. (And people within this range are not necessarily always the high achievers) Synthetic thinking is what people in this range naturally use, if I remember correctly, which is more like "what if" kind of thinking, which can be associated with Ne.
And the range that is not gifted but the highest one sounded like XXTJ description to me.
Ok it's a generalization and thus it's a rough idea and IQ isn't just one metric as in there are verbal IQ, special IQ etc so it's just so rough.
My writing is also rough so it might be a sign of low IQ but anyways
うーん、国際情勢の話じゃなくて国際情勢に「関連」する話をした、と述べたのですが、通じなかったのかな…？？
たぶん、あなたは「ベネズエラの人が喜んでいること」は関係ないと今おっしゃっていますけど、国際関係の話に、現地の人がどう感じているかは無視していいと、そういうことですよね。そんなこと言ってていいんですか？すごく投げやりだと思いますよ。 例えばですけど、現地の人がどう思ってるかわからない人が、国際情勢を正しく理解できますか？
そうなると、判断基準は誰かの言う「ルール」だけになっちゃいますね。そうなると、その「ルール」を主張する人たちの政治的な意見に流されるということになりかねませんよ。
例えそれが日本を中心に見ていたとしても、本質的には問題あることなのです。この事象に関する日本国内の政治的な宣伝に脆弱になるわけですからね。
まあ、残念だけどあなたに理解してはもらえないのかな…
分かっていただけた通り「ベネズエラ国民にシンパシーを感じる人=力による現状制圧を支持する人」では無いのですが、そういうふうに考えようとしたり、宣伝する人が世の中には、いるわけでしょ？
そうなっちゃだめなんだけど、みんな私のことDVしまくってあたかも武力攻撃支持してる、と言う話に決めつけられてるのが、現状ですね。
そういうのって政治的な手口であって、海外事情が政治的な宣伝に使われるということがあるんです。
「武力攻撃支持か」って言う話に持っていったり、その他、「アメリカのプロパガンダだ」って言ったり、いろいろあるわけですからね。アメリカ支持か不支持かの白黒に持っていく、みたいなね。
「ベネズエラの人が喜んでいる」と、たったそれだけで不都合な人もいるんですから。まあそういうことです。
まず、ここでは力による現状変更の是非について話してるんですよ。そして貴方も言うように、「ベネズエラ国民にシンパシーを感じる人=力による現状制圧を支持する人」では無いのは確かですし、また同時に「力による現状制圧を支持しない人=ベネズエラ国民にシンパシーを感じない人」でもありません。国際情勢の話と、ベネズエラ国民の立場は、そもそも関係無いのです。
んで、白黒はっきりさせたいだの何だのと喚いているけど、少なくともアメリカがやった事は白では無いし、黒と明言する必要は無くとも絶対に白とは言ってはいけないという話です。倫理的に考えるのは正しいしだからこそ黒とはっきり言わないけれど、
ある程度はわかってもらえたようで何よりです。 ただ、ややこしくなるっていうのを、人のせいにしないでほしいし、（まあややこしく感じる人はいるでしょうから客観的にはややこしいという指摘はそうだけど）一方で、そんなことでややこしく感じて思い込みのはがしい人たちが、ベネズエラのこと知らない上で、冷静に国際情勢見れるのかよってことが突っ込みでありました。（そういう意味ではすごく関係があると思ってあえて言ったわけです）
もともとの指摘はそういうところがあります。まあこれは抽象度が高いからうまく説明が伝わる自信はないですけど、つまり、自分の指摘がもっともな指摘であればあるほど、私が一方的に批難されるという仕組みです。（続くよ）
政治の世界なので、各関係者がそれぞれ最適な選択をしようとして取り組んでいるものかと思います。なので、今回の件を批判するところもあれば、それこそ台湾のようにあえて批判しないところもあるわけです。
「力による現状制圧を支持する」とかしないとかそういう話に持っていったらよくないんですよ。
今回の件でベネズエラの人々にシンパシーを感じた人に対して、「力による現状制圧を支持する」人たちだ、と決めつけるのは違うでしょ？
そういう理屈だと、ベネズエラの喜んでいる人たちも「力による現状制圧を支持する」人ってなっちゃうでしょ？そういうことなの？
そうやって型にはめようとして、白黒はっきりしたい考えとは違うよ。
国際社会でそれを認めてはならないって言うのはそうだね、でもそれは理想であって現状はそれこそルール守らない国家がたくさんあるんですよね。
そのうえで柔軟に考えないと…（台湾は柔軟に考えたのであえて批難しなかったみたいだけど？）
ただ、「力による現状変更」を支持するならば、そもそも前大統領の「力による圧政」を批判する事も出来ません。
これなんて、まさに現実では全然そうなってないという例だよな。それに単純化してるけど、現実はそんなの関係なしに、批判なんていくらでも湧いて出るからね。
実際には倫理的に考えなきゃいけない話だよ。
賛同も否定もできないよ。知らないことだからね。知らないことに賛同、否定のどちらをしても無責任なことだからね。
いろいろな考え方の人がいるから、分かり合えないこともあるでしょうね。私は少なくとも論理的に、かつ個別に考えるけどそうじゃない人もいるし。
例えば、あなたの言っているのは要はルールは絶対という考えでしょ？ベネズエラの置かれていた状況は、かなり極端だ。何度も言うがベネズエラは本当に本当にひどい国だったんだよ。こういうのは、きわめて倫理的な話だよ。トロッコ問題と同じようなものだ。
さらに、いいか悪いかは、どの時点で判断するかによって変わるんだよ。例えば、今は最悪なことでも10年後に判断すればいいことなのかもしれないし、その逆もある。株のチャートみたいなものだよ。
「武力で国家元首を排除する」行為そのものは、そもそも武力を使う時点で悪いことではある… ただ「悪いこと=絶対にやってはいけない」と、必ずそうなるわけではない。悪いことがより多くの人人を救うこともあるからね。そんなの子供でもわかる当たり前なことだとおもうけどね。 だからといって、腐敗した政府側の人とは言え、人が被害を受けてるんだから、いいこととは言えないよ。
とは言え、それがもたらすものが、いいか悪いかは簡単に言える話じゃない。ベネズエラのことも、本人たちは今は喜んでいても、これから悪くなるかもしれないし、良くなるかもしれないし。ほかの人が不安視するように、この件が今後、他所で最悪な自体をもたらす可能性もあるわけだし。
だからね、私はよくなることを祈るのみだよ。私はそう考えているよ。ただ、言いたいのは、ベネズエラの人はどうやら今は喜んでいるっていう話だよ。
一応、これによって良くなってくれるんじゃないかなとは予想していますけど。
まあ白黒はっきりしないと落ち着かない人がいるからね。私はそうじゃないから。そういう単純な考え方の人は柔軟性がないんだろうな、とは思います。ごめんね。
あの、冷静になってほしいんだけど、君が言ってることって私がもともと指摘していることと同じことなの、わかりますか？
「ベネズエラに住んでるわけでもないのに、生の情報なんて入ってこない」 「だから喜んでるかどうかわからない」 「プロパガンダかもしれない」
とあなたは言ってますけど、あなたや他人に当てはまることなんですが、理解できますか？
で、私には実は当てはまらないんです。生の情報が入ってきます…なので、喜んでいるのがわかります…なのでプロパガンダじゃないです。報道からだとか、ネットの他人から得た情報ではありません。
でも、あなたを含めた多くの人には、入ってこないし、喜んでるかどうかもしらないし、プロパガンダに流されているかもしれないんですよ。「アメリカのプロパガンダ」と言っておりますが、プロパガンダはアメリカだけがしている訳ではないことも、分かりますよね。
だから、そういうのを私は最初のコメントで否定しているんですよ。
もし、その国に住んでるのなら君の主張に一定の正当性はあるけど
さすがにベネズエラには住んでいないけど、まあ少なくとも、理屈はわかってもらえたようでよかったです。
私は生の情報が得られるんです。プライベートのことなので、ここに証拠を出すことはできないですけど。
武力攻撃とは言うが、被害は最小限であり、その被害はその腐敗した政府側についた人たちだけであるらしい。それを考慮した上で、ベネズエラの人たちは大喜びしているんだと思うけどね。
中国と台湾の場合は違う。台湾の人はそのようなことは望んでいない。日本の場合もまた違うだろう。高市の支持率は高いんだからね。
つまり、最初に私が指摘するように、武力攻撃していいかどうかの話をしたい人がしているだけという典型だよな。
本当に大切なのは、その国で生きる人たちだよ。それぐらいは同意してもらえるよね？そのうえで、いいかどうかなんて簡単に言えるものではないし、私はそういうことはまったく言ってない。
だからこそ、ベネズエラのこと何も知らない人が、いいか悪いか言ってるっていう私の指摘は妥当だ。 それでもって悪いと言っているのが、他国に無知な人たちである、という事実を私が晒しているだけ。
This is wrong. You clearly don't know. Ten years ago It was very, very negative. Today it's still negative. I had to directly comment on this because this is upvoted a lot. (And mine is downvoted lol)
https://www.sankei.com/article/20181207-UY25PJ3EHRIF3GWGQVWWKSNZ2Q/
People hated China because of scams, bad quality products, unsafe food and food scandals, the catastrophic train accident, air pollution (that air comes to Japan), and the people (some didn't allow Chinese people to rent a house because they were problematic) People back then were like "oh it's Chinese souvenir, is it safe? I don't wanna eat that hahaha."
Do not put such a political narrative as if Japan started to hate China recently due to the politics.
I generally believe that mbti type is not affected by anything environmental but any experience shapes the person, especially behaviors (behaviors aren't cognitive preference), which then affects what type you get on an MBTI test.
And I think a traumatic experience could make them appear IxNx.
I saw someone somewhere on reddit saying something about glutamine receptors and INTPness about drinking alcohol.
And then a recent study says people with autism lack a certain glutamine receptor, like they have less of it or it's malfunctioning.
And often INTP and Autism share some traits in common.
I think traumatic experience affects glutamine receptors.
So, I am connecting these dots. But I think people probably don't understand what I am talking about...
There are many Japanese fictions without such things so I believe it's not a Japan thing or anything so special.
That said, I roughly can tell where it came from. By seeing some anime works around 80s and 90s, I could certainly sense the likings for SF, which is from the US influences and technical advancement that people back then were dreaming about.
Space development and stuff as well as curiosity towards extraterrestrial lives were surging. Alien invasion was a common Hollywood narrative and it gives you the sense of canonicity.
I think there are, like myself...?
I don't think I feel insecure about my incompetence or intelligence so I can't be type 5.
But likewise, I personally think any other types (other than 4, 5, 9) are possibly not INTP. I am also skeptical about type 9 INTP maybe they are ISFJ or something, I don't know.
I think this has almost nothing to do with INTP by itself. This is because
Overthinking isn't exclusive to INTP
There's this thing called Brain Chatter which is a common symptom or condition seen amongst people with ADHD or other brain related conditions, which I think should be treated, by doing meditation perhaps?
Some people here often say that as Ti is the main function, it's too natural to even consider It's overthinking subjectively. Hence a lot of people here may say no to that.
So to answer the question, I do in a way that I hope that whatever brain/phycological problems I may have will be gone away but not that I think thinking a lot about things itself is problematic, well it's probably technically problematic as there is a feedback mechanism to worsen the condition.
Either way, this thing could be a problem that can be tackled from a different perspective.
Yeah this thing is debatable. I completely get some negative opinions about Japanese bread. But Japanese bread is good in a different way.
My home country is Japan but I have had bread in Europe, North America, East Asia and South East Asia.
I am certain that Japanese bread is NOT superior to bread in other countries, definitely not, but unique kinds of bread might be a bit fun to explore.
Yeah like there are obviously good or decent ones but some or many are just way too salty.
Honestly McDonalds is usually okay, or often even better than some random restaurants.
There's another soba chain restaurant at almost any station in Tokyo, I forgot the name maybe it's called いろり庵 or something and that one isn't salty and I felt it's pretty decent.
And while I said too salty, they might add something else to make me feel it's too salty or disgusting
That's another thing. Some religious practices can be beneficial, I believe there are neuroscientific studies about it. Such activities probably work like a meditation which causes some changes in neurons, like neuro plasticity thingy, which possibly makes you more resilient.
I don't know any actual studies but there probably are.
Believing or recognizing the effectiveness of religious practice and religion itself as a form of dogma are two different things.
Well, it's not about should or shouldn't. Remember it's a classroom setting.
Okay imagine the next class starts and you go and talk to your neighbor, and you say like nah I don't trust you.
Maybe it's okay he might be chill but maybe he gets so pissed and he might start school shooting. Or perhaps, his friends group comes to you and starts to bully you.
You don't want to get bullied.
It is not logical to trust that one person. That's the whole point.
Imagine your friend was sitting far away from you. After the class, you talk with her. She was told to believe something completely different from what you have heard from your neighbor.
How is that now? Your neighbor's statement is correct but your friend's got a wrong answer? You could trust what she heard instead of your neighbor.
Eh...is it? Okay, let's imagine you are in a classroom but there are 4200 students in the classroom. And a teacher asked them a question. And basically every student answered differently, and subsequently said like I am right, and you should trust me. Some students even said like my answer is right and everything else is wrong.
But anyway, you are in such a room with 4200 seats, and you sit in a chair. And because the teacher decided where students sit, you basically sit next to someone and you only can talk with him out of 4200 students. And this person says like I am right and you should trust me and ignore everyone else. Are you sure that you can trust him?
I don't understand why people can't do some simple math. There are many religions. According to google, there are at least 4,200.
Then you choose one religion because that religion was simply practiced there near your area. And magically it's 1 out of 4200 religions that is right, and everything else is wrong?
How can you believe it? And I assume any single person here doesn't practice my family's religion because it's not practiced anywhere outside of my country, for example.
So mine is wrong and so is yours. Or mine is right and so is yours. That's, either way, so absurd. Or perhaps one is right and everything else is wrong???
So many freaking people sacrificed their lives for religious causes and some simply died in natural disasters simply because they were located there, believing the god or not they freaking died when the entire town was gone.
It'd be rather ridiculous to think that the latter is correct. There's no mercy for calamities. So if I was invited to a religion, sorry but I don't believe I can win 1/4200 lottery.
More yes but statistically speaking, compared to other countries, Japanese fruit consumption is so low, lower than many developing countries. So generally it's low anyway.
Yes. Because of the price, people buy less fruits.
Probably intentional because I only see the overwhelming amount of cabbage but not for literally everything else. At home it's not just cabbage. I assume this has to do with how the industry works.
So at home there are more vegetables, but again statistically, vegetable consumption isn't high compared to other countries.
I believe diarrhea is more common than conspiration.
This, to average Japanese, isn't necessarily unwelcomed. The Over tourism in Japan is real and this makes the hotel price insanely high.
Arguably the Japanese society is very Chinese friendly and safe for them but the Chinese people are partially responsible for the over tourism among other visitors. So a slight reduction in number would be rather appreciated.
Of course, not by the business owners who target specifically the Chinese.
I'm Japanese and there's no such distinction. It literally means to cut the head to us the Japanese. It's not interpreted as a metaphor. When we use such expression like 首を切る, this means either literally cutting head or fire somebody. And in this case its more of 首を斬る and 斬る means cut with a sword. And it's very hard to think it's a metaphorical expression Also 首を洗って待ってろ doesn't mean they want the head either. It's more like saying wait for a bad consequence, and this expression is only heard in anime. Actually Japanese people never really use such expressions because if you say it it sounds like anime. If what people here say is correct, like if in Japanese there's such metaphorical expression to mean something else than cutting a head, then what I can say is nobody really knows such an expression.
I could explain further if anybody wants.
This is because Japanese is one of the least efficient languages, to be more specific, the syllable to information ratio is so low. So the likelihood of shortening words is higher than other languages to effectively communicate. For example, セクシャルハラスメント has more vowels than the English counterpart. Just count it, so many!
It sucks there are more katakana loan words in modern days that make everything unnecessary longer to say and write, while there are pros, to be fair.
Well, sorry if there was any confusion but I am not young anymore after years of wasting my life here and I am away from social conformity because I'm not employed💀
There's no need to apologize because I wasn't offended and also I'm sorry if I sounded so blunt that make you feel the necessity to apologize, I thought it'd be okay because I thought maybe you too wouldn't get offended but either way...
I don't know, but if someone is introverted and pursuing intellectuality or whatever here or anywhere else, the person is bullied or outside of the group.
What you felt comfortable with was probably the kindness brought by Fe.
A recent well known female INTP anime character has been often talked about on the internet and quite a few people have said the character basically was reminiscent of a nerdy girl and cringe...
I do get what you mean, as in, we are not seeing individualities, novelties, uniqueness. It's not just you. Now what we see is more like the representation of 3rd and 4th Ne than 1st or 2nd Ne, like if it were 1st or 2nd, things could have been more genuine and real, but what we see is more of a copying stuff or weird stuff that doesn't have much novelty and uniqueness. So It's more of a conformity. This should make some sense because back then, only unique people could have thrived but now, the normies are there especially on the internet. So I do get that.
But what I'm not sure if this is due to the lack of the Ne ness because as someone says, it might have something to do with Fi ness. But again, when Fe and Si are preferred then Fi and Ne can be compromised so.
Like how? If you are so reliant on your personal experience, then what would you say to me who is actually Japanese and an INTP who rather despises the overwhelming ISFJ quality of the culture and the society for my entire life here? Social conformity? That's a pain in the ass or even worse for the native ones, potentially.
Well, you are entirely dismissing every other possibility that tells you Japan is very much not like INTP. Failing itself isn't the focus. How it is failing for decades is. Is it out of INTPness? No.
But sure you felt the vibes...
And I feel whatever INTPs traits you described aren't inherently INTP's. There are literally tons of animes so having some INTP characters out of thousands them doesn't mean much, especially anime isn't what Japan is like. I do not see any exact INTPness anywhere...?
I think your idea, the core part, language limits humans is already well talked about elsewhere by smart or academic people. So I believe there are some analogies or researches about it.
And also that sensation, that you feel language is limiting, is possibly something one can feel when the person has certain conditions, I forgot but I think I read elsewhere, maybe these were like high IQ, ADD, or something else, which might be relevant to INTPs.
Or that could be something one would say when they use drugs.
And there's something called Linguistic relativity or Whorf hypothesis, which is related to linguistic diteeminism.
And now I think the first part is linguistic determinism.
And I don't know much about synchronicity... I mean I do know such a concept.
Before I discovered MBTI, I thought things shouldn’t be so controversial when everyone has access to the same facts and knowledge.
If two people share the same level of understanding of a topic, proper logic, which should not depend on the person because logic is logic, universal, should lead to the same/similar conclusion.
That’s why online arguments seemed absurd to me because one side just didn’t have enough knowledge, yet kept arguing.
But after learning about MBTI, I realized some people base their statements on things I don't really understand...
Hmmm, well...
What you described for Ti isn't really about Ti, and some descriptions sound like you have insecure Ne that is affecting your judging function which sounds like Fi and Te and not Fe and Ti.
For INTPs, Ne is more obvious as in we see other possibilities even without trying and notice what's wrong with others or my own opinions, and not out of trying not to be wrong.
And the fairly consistent use of the term feel, like you said I feel multiple times, sounds like you are not an INTP. And INTPs don't resonate, do we?
With an actual Ti, you would rather explore the logic of why this because that, rather than the arrays of random facts about you.
The writing style is not so objective. INTPs writing style can be more objective, if I were to write, I'd put I tend to..., it seems that I..., I hauve experienced..., etc because we analyze ourselves like someone else.
I'm not sure if you are ISTJ. Maybe you are ESTJ, or INFP or ENFP. I don't know. And I believe these types are actually similar to INTP in some ways, believe it or not.
Edit (I'm adding this) I feel I didn't explain why I said you sound like a Te user. With Ti, our logic comes first rather than external opinions, because others opinions are very unreliable to Ti users. For Ti users, when checking others opinions, it's more about conformations or testing, rather than we newly get ideas, like I lowkey had this theory myself but other people actually explained it.
But well I could be wrong about the interpretation of what you've written because I'm saying things from a mere impression I got from what I've read.

We the Japanese people don't receive tips because that's against the rules. It affects the accounting system. And also if anything happens, like they request to return money etc, we can get in trouble.
That's risky, to receive anything from customers. No, also making new systems costs lot when we only recently introduced a device for credit cards, another system burdens us.
What about old people. Old people can't even pronounce the word tip. What about the law. Oh excessive tips are going to be taxed. No, we need to tax on everything so allowing tips is basically money laundering.
And no, that guy who gets more tips is just cocky. So no.
I'm just joking but whatever, no, I don't think we are gonna have tips here.
It's not a good comparison as it's not a flagship phone but I don't enjoy pixel 6a that much and I have seen some negative comments, too, like relying too much on AI, so I am not sure about pixel phones in general about the camera despite frequent praises.
I am also looking for a phone with good cameras now and Oppo's Find x8 looks great but it's more expensive than LG V60.
There's Oppo Reno 14 which also has a nice telephoto with a cheaper price tag. Telephoto thingy is a new tech I think.
And some modern flagship phones, such as Find x8, have collaboration with camera brands for their camera Apps and I have seen insanely impressive photos.
Well that's kinda cool, although he was like thank you and he went away, so I was like eh???
Oh btw, I was walking around Shinjuku with my friend, there was a Japanese stranger who looked like a trans (I'm not so sure if it's the right term because the word is for western culture and we the Japanese have different words for them) talking to us and trying to be in a photo together.
I was intentionally speaking Chinese/English when I was there so that people don't think we were the Japanese. I thought that was why they talked to me assuming that we were just tourists from elsewhere.
It was a tourist place with a lot of foreigners so it wasn't a random place in Japan but it happened in Japan anyway...
They perhaps can but then yen will become cheaper. Japan simply isn't an economically good country. Realistically, $10/hour is too high for Japan. Top 10 OECD countries have $10/hour our higher and Japan certainly can't be that competitive. So to justify 1,500 yen/hour, $8/hour have to mean 1,500 yen/hour. So $1 might need to be as much as 180 yen.
It's just a theory so it can be wrong but I think INTPs' emotion is one of the deepest of all. And because it's so deep, we know how deep it can go.
Let's say average people can go from 0 to 10 in terms of the depth of the emotional range when INTP actually can feel 0 to 100.
So when average people feel 10, to them, it's the deepest, which is a very strong thing. and then INTP has the same 10, you think about the time you felt 90 which was strong and you compare these two. For INTP, 10 is kinda nothing, and you logically goes like oh this is maybe nothing to me. I am not saying INTPs are more capable or less vulnerable but I am talking about the depth. 10 is just 10 but INTP can internalize it and neglect it perhaps. And I believe a lot of INTP actually can be gravitated towards extremely emotionally expressive music.
Or it's just me.
But then there are a lot of mistyped people in popular subs for INxx.
And most INTPs are actually lurking.
And also, some subs come with a lot of posts like I'm so smart but everyone is so dumb and life is so hard...
It kinda sounds wrong to rely on these, like resonating these or not to tell if it's my type or not.
So combining these factors, I think it gives a mixed result.
And the fact that there are mistyped people keep using the wrong subs evidently tells that these people, despite possibly reading multiple subs, keep using the wrong sub without realizing it.
So, probably it's not that reliable.
Hmm, it's not necessarily from China, but from socialists/communists. And yes, that's their agenda. That Japanese guy is also a communist party supporter. It's getting really easy to spot these.
Edit: And he of course shows up in a Japanese communist party's YouTube video. https://youtu.be/Tw7QaI85obE?si=nQ5o8bsF7vcYXKDX
Well, I would say there certainly are more metrics, like yours, where Japan appears to be better. This one, which I don't know, is a complicated metric (like a black box) which essentially makes it difficult to properly understand what it actually implies, which apparently was done by an investment bank.
That's a good point. But it's not that there's a large salary drop, I suppose. in fact they are still better paid than younger people hourly.
Plus, since we do not know about the situation in South Korea, we can't compare. I also assume they have something that similarly affects the statistics. For example, South Korea has mandatory military service which could affect the statistics as well.
But the point is, in various metrics, Japan is lower, which includes GDP per Capita, as well as PPP based one, median income (depending on the source...), the minimum wage, house hold income, etc.
Also, without going further, we can simply compare the the salaries in age group. I also don't have the data but South Korea is higher in that too like salary in their 30's.
Considering the growth rate, any arguments, to compare these two countries, to have excuses like oh but Japan has this and that's why Japan is this and that, we are having will become meaningless because things will become even more clearer to everyone's eye in a few years.
Um, Japan being lower than South Korea isn't because of the non-working population.
Median income, which doesn't include non working people, is much much higher in South Korea. Also the average age in Japan is higher in Japan so naturally Japan should have more advantage in such statistics because the older they get, the higher the salary becomes among working people in general. Yet, Median income is low in Japan.
I kinda think there's no such things as deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning. These are ways to describe things. When the internal thinking process takes place inside your brain it doesn't work like that.
And INTPs aren't deductive thinkers nor inductive thinkers. When we see the first step and then at the same time you see the consequence simultaneously which later can be deductively explained. When we see multiple cases, then you also see the law there simultaneously, which can be inductively explained.
Also, it might depend on the person but not all the people think linearly, it's not like the A>B>C kind of stuff. Non linear thinking or synthetic thinking might be there for us..
Also, in case you didn't know, often psychology studies have very limited samples like this study. Historically it has been like this.
Therefore, this number isn't particularly small for a psychology study but it is objectively small hence it's a very limited sample number as you noticed and it is not something we should take as hard evidence nor anything. It's more like a tool for extrapolation or seeking the possibility.
If you understand that, then that's good. And exactly that's just that.
Among 351 Japanese undergraduate psychology students, there were higher levels of psychopathy and Machiavellianism traits...
Yes, that's it. That's a very limited sample. Not something you should rely on.
Did you think I was saying this is hard evidence?
No...I never ever said that...what are you trying to say to me?
Hmm did you actually read the paper? I originally read this
https://sunblaze.jp/1763/geographic-difference-of-darktriad/
Also, this is just one of study with just an indication to support the idea. It is not a good idea to totally rely on external validity, such as studies, to reject or support my idea.
What I said is basically from my experience, anecdotes and external indications.
I mean, I understand how you felt, like this dude can't be Japanese. I can be easily mistaken as a non-Japanese person because of what I say, think and see, and I know that. Someone like me is so rare...
There was a time I commented here and some Japanese guy was attacking me, saying you're not Japanese like you didn't have proper education here type shit...
A very typical reddit moment...🙂
But anyway, having an impression like 日本人は性格悪い is not so uncommon by the Japanese people, maybe you can google and get the idea.
Well, sure cuz I'm Japanese, I could be mean, too. In fact, living here in Japan makes me mean, or other people living here too perhaps.
I have heard multiple times that the Japanese language learning community is so toxic unlike any other languages, I wonder why but I kinda understand why...
Sure, this one is for dark traits. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886917301320
For spiteful behaviors, I can't really find the exact link for the exact paper but there are multiple articles about it. In Japanese it's スパイト行為 so you might find some resources if you use the term to search or AI also might know about it.
Sure, this website has some explanations about it as well as links to some studies.
https://sunblaze.jp/1842/japanese-are-just-anxiety-not-diligent/
この国際比較を行った研究がありますが The actual link for the study about dark traits is on 研究
Also, for what's often known especially among the Japanese people is スパイト行為 (spiteful behaviors)
Can't link the exact study but it's apparently done by Japanese researchers. There are various articles published about it so some of us the Japanese know about it. One example is here. (Sorry can't properly link😢)
https://diamond.jp/articles/-/317524?_gl=12ety22_gaYW1wLTI3VHhyZTE2dkY3Z21uZmJwUnMtNkh3SEtMSG5FOUt6NDdpeFZYSldVZWUxa3NFLUFKMDZBa3c2NDJGR0VRRDQ._ga_4ZRR68SQNH*MTc0Nzg4NTg2My44LjAuMTc0Nzg4NTg2My4wLjAuMA..
It's not about them, in fact nobody really talks about them. In general Japanese people are simply mean especially online. Japanese people are 性格が悪い (personality is bad)
There are personality related studies and stuff that actually do suggest such quality, so both from my, or perhaps your experiences and studies suggest it is the case.
(Apparently high in machiavellianism and psychopath in dark triad)
Yeah, I was thinking about that possibility, like one may just say it to just mean it's very certain/almost 100%. So I put "usually", thank you for the comment.
Given you are INTP (and I), I don't think INTPs are particularly weird. From an INTP’s perspective, other types might look weird, too.
We are weird in a sense. INTPs are certainly different from the average/norm, INTPs are not like normies. But anything behavioral has usually nothing to do with MBTI. So when other people think INTPs are weird, it's probably when the INTPs' choice comes out weird. (But other types also have that kind of stuff, too) Like things you like...
Or maybe when you explain your thought, other people find it weird because they don't just think like that, and they perhaps go like “eh, you are thinking that much?”
Also it's again from INTPs perspective but INTP characters in fiction aren't necessarily the weirdest...I think?
I think other types are often weirder, to be honest...Maybe I have met too many weird people
Ti heavy users bond by debating?
I don't think so at least about myself because when having a debate it's about the topic, the theory and the logic or information that we talk about, which have nothing to do with the person.
Using my Ti, it sounds contradictory to me.
Also when debating, it happens when having different opinions, and if both sides have similar ways of thinking or opinions, there isn't much point of having debate... So I feel that's not what happens to me...
Or can I?
I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but that organic rice thing you mentioned is barely practiced in Japan. Statistically speaking, organic farming is almost nonexistent here. (Oh, I’m sure JA loves organic farming — since they definitely don’t sell pesticides or own companies that make chemical fertilizers, right?)
That whole duck thing is, in my opinion, just propaganda to make people go 'wow, Japan is sugoi!' and pretend it's all environmentally friendly while in reality, you can’t find organic rice in any f**king supermarket in Japan. So what’s going on there, seriously?
None of this has anything to do with what I originally said, by the way.
Specifically, why it’s a regulation (I assume you’re referring to a requirement) that rice must be grown with high amounts of pesticide.
It’s not about a “requirement” but it’s about how much pesticide is allowed. You can ask AI or look it up: some crops naturally need more pesticide because they’re more vulnerable to pests, while others need less. Rice tends to fall into the former group.
Nobody said it must be grown with pesticides and of course organic rice exists. But what’s permitted, and what’s actually practiced on a large scale, are two very different things.
I think there’s some misunderstanding between us. It does seem like we both agree Japan uses more pesticides than it should. Same side, I guess.
The only point I wanted to make was that the statistic itself is vulnerable to such criticism.
I mean I am aware of that. I am just being critical here. My observation and analysis, and objective structure of the industry in Japan strongly suggest it is the case, but hard evidence would be nice to have so we can make anyone, especially a lot of Japanese people, who believe Japanese products are safe, shut the f up.
