Already, the kind of reflective consciousness nurtured by the cultural developments of the past millennium has suffered both regressive and unpredicted (and arguably undesirable) changes, thanks to the new shape, speed and scope of the internet, including its corporatization; personalization and the filtering out of opposing views; glut of content; and its intrusion into every leisure and working moment. Many writers, for example, no longer read.

I think introverts who’ve *by nowish* laid claim to enough capital – in the form of actual money, land, years invested in a specialization deemed valuable, or by simple inheritance – will elude the worst. Working and middle class young people (and boat-missers) who fail to benefit from accident, or who lack entrepreneurial sensibilities, may never be able to gain a footing (or audience).

By the way: it’s been a while since I’ve been here, and I am astounded – again – by the depth of insight evident throughout your updated writing. There’s a lot else I might have commented on in a more positive vein; it’s just that this entry happened to seize my attention. (Your INFP page, in my case, certainly, might work equally well as straight biography.) Please find a publisher.

Whenever someone is reading something I wrote, I feel their kinesthetic label, and also often what emotion(s) they are experiencing in response to my words. When I find another transceiver, it is like we become linked together. It is kind of like a wireless connection; I send to the person, and the other transceiver subconsciously responds, and when I feel the other’s response some subconscious black box process links us together, and for a time we remain linked it is as if we both are accessing a shared memory buffer, for a lack of anything else to call it. When I am linked with another transceiver, I co-experience the other person’s emotions, and visa versa, but I have discovered how to use my imagination to effect the other person’s emotions. Like for instance, if while I am linked to another transceiver, if (s)he is feeling upset, or whatever, I can create the feel of receiving a hug in my imagination, and the other person will feel hugged. Sometimes other transceivers have also done this favor for me. I call this sending telepathic hugs.

I never know where I will encounter another transceiver. I have encountered maybe 10 living all over the world, and a few IRL. I have never met any of them in person, but I communicate nonverbally with many of them on occasion. There is a huge amount of energy received by both parties from being linked.

I am curious what kind of functional analysis you would apply to all of this. I have wondered if I have learned to utilize my introverted intuition which is in type’s source of wisdom, and that for INFP Ni is a mystical source. I read somewhere that the sixth position function is that person’s source of wisdom. I don’t know. I’m jus curious.

I’m not really asking you what I should do next – its just easier to explain my question by giving you an example. My real question is, what do you mean by “courageously commit to a life of radical authenticity”? What does that look like, feel like, and entail for the average INFP?
