Ti Platonism

Ti is a function that defines an object by its essential nature (Ji) while experiencing the object as having an inanimate (T) character. Objects are registered platonically, thus triggering an impersonal relationship to that object's character, causing it to be understood from a universal, general, and removed place. This occurs even if the objects are technically alive. In this case, the entities are registered by their universal and general properties as instances of timeless human forms rather than as specific living essences.

Search for Universal Axioms

While it might be said that all types seek a truth of a sort, the quest for truth has a particular meaning for the Ti user. They are not satisfied with acquiring information, and indeed, they generally avoid information but are instead drawn to eternally narrow their search down to what they believe is the core of a thing - beyond the senses and the confines of space or time. They will aim to eliminate as much as is unnecessary until only the essence remains. To them, truth means landing upon some elusive and singular convergent principle or nexus that gives formulation, symmetry, and justification to everything else in the conscious universe. The Ti user is on a quest for a philosopher's stone. They will dig for it in all manner of philosophies and theories of the mind, which can cause them to become obsessive in their pursuits and abandon all sense of context in their research. They may forget that they are not making tangible progress towards any scientific or objective aim but instead are diving headlong into a conceptual challenge. Indeed, it is an epistemological challenge with the bait of the One Truth at the end, which they chase. Moreover, whether the Ti user ever knows this truth is irrelevant to the visceral belief in its existence. Even if they have come to doubt all truth and have entered an existential dead end in their pursuit so that they only know that they know almost nothing, they were led into this territory by an inarticulated but deep-rooted suspicion that something is there just waiting to be crystallized into knowledge.

Reductionism

For the Ti user, the world is often seen as a place of incongruences and complexities, paradoxes and mysteries. Everything operates from unchecked assumptions on top of assumptions with no explanation for why any such thing is to be believed. The world seems utterly chaotic and nonsensical, which causes great stress, especially in pursuing axiomatic truth. In order to alleviate this, Ti often executes a reductionistic methodology wherein all unjustified things are negated to eliminate all untruths and see what is left. In its purest sense, Ti will not wish to adopt any form of knowledge or information if it does not understand its underlying formation. It will feel that if the starting premise within them is incorrect, the entire foundation is faulty, and all else that can be built from it will be askew. Therefore, it obsesses over the accuracy of the first few blocks and cornerstones of its epistemology, forcing Ti often into an infinite regression loop of doubt. If told "go to school," then one may think, "What is school?" and from there, proceed to ask, "What is a degree?" and "What makes the knowledge gained at a school desk more valid than what is self-taught?" This can be frustrating to family members as it may appear that the Ti user is rationalizing their way out of responsibility when, in reality, they are contending with the existential questions of meaning, value, and purpose  - which often must be addressed for them first before a single finger can be lifted towards a task. This can be problematic as Ti will tend to reduce social norms/ideas/things down to parts without putting them back together. These thoughts will occupy the Ti user's mind continually and may cause things to lose their value as the process of reduction strips away all meaning. At its most extreme, this can lead to existential dilemmas and nihilism even when nothing in life suggests a reason to be unhappy. As Ti is a subtractive process by nature, it acts as a diagnostic process that identifies misalignment in any premises system. Hence, it tends to be far better at identifying what things are not than what things are. It is often up to the other functions to counterbalance Ti's influence and provide positive affirmation for reasons, motivations, and purposes.

Castle Construction

However, if enough of a theoretical foundation has been set in the Ti user's mind, then a crystalline structure emerges at the core of their being. Like the growth of an ice crystal from water, a theoretical castle begins to form. Each block of this castle is a premise or argument that helps structure the incoming information of reality in such a way as to create an interpretive scaffold. For Ti, this scaffold serves as a sort of Rubik's cube or kaleidoscope that allows the complexities of life to be viewed and understood from a convergent point. Should there ever be a mismatch between the reality outside of them and the kaleidoscope's prediction, the Ti user hurries to try to reformulate and refine their instrument (to fix the Rubik's cube), but an instrument they must use. The Ti user does not interface with reality directly but does so through this instrument, which acts as their proxy and go-between and allows them to make sense of things without necessarily needing to engage in the difficult task of materialism or empiricism. This leads inescapably to forming a personal theory, often beginning with the phenomenology of the mind/consciousness. One such example of a crystalline theoretical structure is René Descartes' "cogito ergo sum," which, through his efforts and thoughts, was the cornerstone he came to develop and which helped him make sense of all other premises that cascade from this first axiom. However, each Ti user may place a different conclusion as their starting premise. For some, the fundamental principle may be consciousness; for others, it may be bodily experience; and for others, it may be God or love.

Ontology & Linguistics

The Ti function is inherently philosophical, producing in the Ti user a gravitation towards what we might call ontology. It becomes essential for the Ti user to define things in and of themselves. In this sense, Ti seeks to describe reality absolutely and almost as though they were to vanish themselves from existence. It must be able to be true without them in the picture; otherwise, it is not valid. Ti seeks a timeless abstract definition for everything by this metric. The Ti user usually seeks to encapsulate the essence of a thing through semantic precision, meticulously working out where the boundaries lie between two adjacent thought groupings. There is little more satisfying to them than when data suddenly clicks into perfect arrangement, revealing a fundamental truth. The Ti user lives for these rare and magic moments of clarity, and by engaging in this differentiation process, they gain a firm mental grasp on the world, dissipating the fog of the unknown. The further the Ti user is from clarity of definition in their thoughts, the more internal dissonance will be felt. This can also make the Ti user a bit of a grammar nazi, and their semantic proclivities can lead them to spend hours discussing starting terms without ever making headway related to the real-world problem in question. The Ti user may be highly stimulated by such a discourse even though the original point of the discussion has been left far in the past. More than a few Ti users thus take to linguistics for their proximity to philosophy and their capacity to organize the very structure of our knowledge paradigms.

Perfectionism

Additionally, there is a perfectionist quality to the Ti user wherein their desire for purity of logos is at once a desire for purity of the self. Indeed, the Ti user's success in building this logic framework is tied to their sense of identity, as they may view themselves primarily as truth-seekers and truth-speakers. There will be an ethical quality to their pursuit, which manifests in a value of neutrality, honesty, authenticity, and clarity. Lack of neutrality, honesty, or clarity will be sensed as a transgression that they avoid in their behavior and may depreciate in others. As a compass function, Ti will strive for a type of nobility of character that it can sustain only if it feels honest with itself and avoids as many impurities as possible in its thinking. This high personal standard can cause the Ti user to become entirely mute as their ignorance forces them to retract any opinion or utterance they cannot firmly stand behind. The strong Ti user may be a very silent presence at school or in the workforce, speaking only occasionally and after minutes or hours of reflection on what he wishes to say. If their logical devotion is towards an art project or creative endeavor, the same bottleneck may appear, causing them to hesitate to publish any works until everything feels perfect. They may feel their works are never quite precise enough and will spend countless hours refining them, aiming for their writings, paintings, or manifestations to capture their thoughts and intentions without compromise. This can lead to negative feelings and self-blame for mistakes or misinformation.

Stubborn Alignment to Framework

While the Ti user may not know many things, he will stand firm by what he does know. The Ti user can be stubborn and difficult to negotiate with if they have fixated on specific ideas they feel are true, and so long as their idea remains in their head, their heels remain sunk in that interpretation. This can make them impractical in many real-world situations when the consequences of their carefully crafted definitions collide with specific necessary actions and obligations. They often refuse to participate in something that seems necessary to some but misaligned to them. Moreover, while no pressure, external circumstance, or logistical necessities can bend their opinion, a properly aimed rebuttal can radically shift their stance in moments. The Ti user's logical apparatus operates like a lock combination. When the right inputs (deductions) are received, the gates of their thoughts suddenly reconfigure, allowing for a completely new mental trajectory to be possible and new actions to emerge from them. However, without this reconfiguration, they may remain deadlocked in certain conclusions or philosophies even when those conclusions harm them. The strong Ti user must reason his way out of a particular conceptual hole and cannot simply ignore it or choose a more convenient path that does not fit into the structure and rules of their self-made castle.

-Behaviors Under Stress

Emotional Shutoff

When the stress and gravity of life cause a fall out of emotional health, the strong Ti user's already faint emotional energies become even more deeply coveted. Unable to operate meaningfully in the environment, they will flee entirely from the world and into a protective barrier. They will shut off emotionally and may become suspicious and avoid intrusions to their private space. This can lead to a very isolated experience where they feel they can only rely on themselves to figure out the answers to emotional problems, which are often treated as intellectual problems. Driven equally by feelings of self-sufficiency and fear of emotional openness, they will aim to shoulder their pain alone.

They will meet the problem with callousness. What is not felt cannot hurt, and here, their natural capacity for dispassion is repurposed and used to strip power away from the heart. They may sever their connection to others with surprising ease and forget the magnitude of their inner affect. What is non-ideal is rejected as they continue pursuing the ideal in themselves and others. However, the content remains present but buried in the unconscious, and they may harbor unresolved feelings for years at a time – often freezing their heart in the process. Merciless as they may be, they will intellectualize their decisions, satisfying their need to act from just premises and retain a proper sense of self.

Wailings and charged emotional reactions may be perceived as irrational, inappropriate, and to be avoided. However, as stress accumulates further, their logic will become gradually distorted as they aim to rationalize what is essentially an emotional objection. Unable to clearly and cathartically convey their heart's voice, having stripped it of its power, their inner pains will emerge through distorted logical arguments and skewed claims. Their tendency to intellectualize matters of the heart will lead them to push the narrative into a form that aligns with their repressed feelings. As their stress furthers, they may disconnect themselves from others entirely and fall into schizoid tendencies.

Hyper-Focus on Imperfections

In another scenario, if the Ti user's heart remains open, they meet the problem with honesty of feeling. In their pursuit of authenticity of self, they allow the full gravity of their situation to hit them, and they familiarize themselves with their darkest disappointments, losses, and despair. Because they are perfectionists, they will turn their attention to themselves to understand what is wrong. They may come to feel responsible for all that is not going well in their life and will be prone to episodes of melancholy and deep ruminations about their shortcomings. Worse yet, if a conclusion emerges ("I am horrible," "I am responsible") that cannot be rationally refuted, be it true or not, they will need to continue believing it in order not to betray their compass, even if believing such a thing causes continual pain. Moving past certain damages can be challenging unless their paradigm changes to reinterpret their past in a way that puts them in a more merciful place. They will have trouble accepting positive emotions just for the sake of it, without cause to feel positive. They will feel dubious about any trajectory of healing that is not somehow justified in a certain sense. In this way, they do themselves no service; holding onto their negative beliefs so adamantly can be the cause of their demise.

The Art and Science of Castle Construction

When we think of castles, we often envision magnificent stone fortresses, steeped in history and grandeur. These architectural marvels have captured the imaginations of people for centuries, standing as testaments to human creativity, engineering prowess, and the desire for security and prestige. Castle construction is an intricate craft that combines artistry and science, resulting in structures that have withstood the test of time.

The Genesis of Castle Construction

The origins of castle construction can be traced back to the medieval period, a time when political unrest and invasions were rampant. The need for fortifications led to the development of the classic castle design we recognize today. Early castles were primarily made of wood, but as warfare advanced, so did the construction materials. Stone replaced wood, providing greater protection and durability.

Architectural Ingenuity

Castle construction is synonymous with architectural innovation. Builders and architects of the time incorporated features like moats, drawbridges, and thick stone walls to create formidable strongholds. The incorporation of arrow slits, battlements, and towers further enhanced the defensive capabilities of these structures. The concentric design, with multiple layers of defenses, was a hallmark of castle construction, making them formidable and nearly impregnable.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Stone castles, in particular, required a mastery of masonry. Skilled craftsmen meticulously cut and shaped stones to fit precisely, creating not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing designs. Castle builders utilized a variety of stones, from limestone to granite, each with its unique characteristics. The careful selection and arrangement of these stones contributed to the durability and beauty of the castles.

Castle Construction as Symbolism

Castles were not merely fortifications; they were symbols of power and prestige. The grandeur of a castle was often a reflection of the wealth and status of its owner. Towers, turrets, and grand halls showcased the owner's wealth and influence, making castles not only defensive structures but also statements of authority.

Evolution and Legacy

As time passed, the need for castles waned, and many fell into disrepair. However, their legacy lives on in the architectural techniques and innovations they introduced. Today, we can still marvel at the beauty of medieval castles, many of which have been meticulously preserved and restored.

Modern Interpretations

While the era of building traditional castles for defensive purposes has long passed, the spirit of castle construction lives on in modern architecture. Contemporary architects draw inspiration from castle designs, incorporating elements like battlements and towers into modern homes and structures. These elements add a touch of timeless elegance and a nod to the rich history of castle construction.

In conclusion, castle construction is a testament to human ingenuity, blending artistry and science to create structures that have left an indelible mark on history. While we no longer build castles for defense, their enduring legacy continues to influence and inspire architectural innovation to this day. The next time you gaze upon a castle, take a moment to appreciate the incredible craftsmanship and engineering prowess that went into creating these magnificent structures.

Welp, I have an exam tomorrow morning, so before I go to bed I'll post this evening's screenshots.

I found a dungeon and destroyed it. I'd have been excited if it was survival, there was diamond horse armor and redstone and everything.

For a while my arm got stuck on punching blocks. I don't know how. It was useful though, even if it didn't let me kill the spider that was in my way.

Eventually I realized I don't have to cut this chunk out by hand when I can do it by dynamite. Look at all those blocks I don't have to punch! An excellent note to end my day on.
