I like how you express yourself; it seems very jumbled and unorganized but I still completely understand everything because it's like you're allowing us to follow your thought process as to how you reached conclusions.
Interesting to hear another INTPs opinion on these things. Lately I have learned a lot about myself from facing this "darkness" as you call it. A big part of it is discovering who I really am without depending on/being defined by others, or worrying about meeting their expectations of me.
I completely agree with you. I've been trying to figure out if anything is worth doing because the world is so fucked up. I forget about all of it's beauty and often feel like it's not exactly there for me... If that makes any sense.
Great stuff, Really difficult problem, looking for an ought from an is; is known as the "Is-Ought Problem" and has been the bane of philosophers throughout the ages.

I have gone through a really tough time and have been trying to really start from the bottom with my basic building blocks and build upward again. Its really difficult too, not knowing who you are exactly or not feeling like you have things figured out or if you are even on the right track to getting there. I feel like I am wandering aimlessly sometimes. I know I don't want to be in my late 20s, 30s, or 40s questioning myself, everything I have done, and my decisions. Juggling relationships while I have been like this has really been a struggle as well. I always used to picture myself traveling and filming documentaries, then reality hit and you have to make physical efforts or steps to get to that point. I realized I was just thinking and thinking all the time and making empty promises to myself and others. I would build up these grand ideas and then I wouldn't execute them or I would start to and not finish. I don't know, basically it lead me to this point and now that I see the reality of how expensive and difficult it is to execute my ideas or hopes and aspirations. I get discouraged and I question "Are these things even worth it?". Dumb questions like that all the time man.
Well for any of my creative projects see the light of day I gotta enjoy putting in the effort and not get to attached to my original idea. Part of the fun is not knowing, if you did know why would you do it in the first place? Same goes for life sometimes
Motivation trick from an INTP who has been searching for a motivation trick for a long time. Create a vacuum of boredom. I found the problem isn't fear. Everyone is afraid. It's that we have no desire, because we can easily satiate ourselves and with purely mental things. However, if you take out everything from your day that holds little to no purpose in getting to were you want to be. A profound restlessness arises after some time, which I imagine is what most people feel on a daily bases that gives them the fuel to go out and get dirty. Failing becomes more exciting then nothing at all.
Of course reality is just numbers. Moving systems, changing through time, modelled by equations. If you can find the right equation sets you can work out anything.
I'm kind of sort of online dating an INTP guy. These videos are very helpful. I'm more patient with him than I would be otherwise, now that I know he is slow to process and doesn't really do casual chit chat. I'm an INFJ and I need to curb my tendency to write long emails - because he will take DAYS to reply to me, carefully crafting a response to each and every point. Ugh. I need to be more concise. Physically, he also looks a lot like this guy - same eyes, same hair, nearly the same nose even. I find INTP men to be very intelligent and deep, and it's hard to find that in the other MBTI types.
I really like the black and red combination in clothing. I was thinking of a theory that as INTP's this is symbolic of like some negativity vs positivity appreciation thing in my brain. Right now i would wear it different though, id probably wear mostly black with a little red because i really cherish the little amount that is there. Im 19 and youre like 20 something, maybe as an INTP you've started to be more in touch with your positive side and i havent yet, thats why i keep on the DL or whatever. Maybe this is useless theorizing and there is no meaning behind it, but i just wanted to share because i think youll understand as an INTP yourself.
Old video and you probably won’t respond to this comment but just thought I’d say this was pretty well done. One point I’d like to make is that I think you misinterpret Nietzsche. For one thing, he was not a nihilist. As a matter of fact most of his work was aimed at figuring out how to avoid a descent into nihilism (which he thought would be inevitable once we stopped being a religious society). I think if you read him you’ll actually see many points of agreement. Jung was actually a fan of Nietzsche’s work as well.
Is it just me, or was this all ramble? The speech was very organized or structured. Maybe I jumped in without knowing what the intention of the video was about.
at 6:03 I meant to say Jung instead of Freud

Loved this especially the fight club comparisons it’s one of my favourite movies and now I have a new interpretation 😂 so thanks

on Jung's Individuation,
Would it be fair to call it, "subconscious needs vs environmental impediments"; in such a way that the-self acts as a vessel, to fulfill its own subconscious needs by reducing or removing environmental pressures?
Superb! Thank you for sharing.
I’m watching this video at a very strange time in my life
Do you have extreme consciousnes and feel lost and a little depressed? If so your not alone.

Fear is really the problem. I need that click of "Ya know what? You don't know unless you try."

this video is very enlightening. thank you.
I can relate to the need to create.. I feel it's the only authentic part of me left. Thank you for the video, very helpful for me ! (INFP here)

You are cool. Keep doing this blog
You remind me of Lemony Snicket / Daniel Handler. (That's a compliment since he's one my favorite authors and people.)
How do you think one should go about dealing with the loneliness that comes with such thought processes and pursuits?
NEECHY I cried omfg. It reminded me of the film based on Alan Bennett's 'The History Boys' when Dakin says 'kneeshaw'
Can you make another video on Individuation? Like application of the knowledge you ahve of it
Krish C Yes. I know how to start the process of it but I want to finish seeing what happens to me first before I do.
How's in been so far?

a new video....yesssssss
I hope he’s seen mr. robot

I actually agree with that completely. If you keep searching that light comes through all of the sudden and changes everything.
Omg lol 😂 intp recently discovered and that's the only two colors I wear ever
Here, here.
07:13, that is so me!

Hey do you know your enneagram?
He sounds like a 4w5 to me.
