Just to add some nuance to your nuance.

I’m guessing the major fights in my life have been fought with INTJ’s primarily because they thought I was soft and they believed they couldn’t loose (as you suggest).

Be careful of making assumptions, those opponents were in error.

Hubris is a weakness, mine is huge, but I am self aware and mostly able to control it.

Also, I'm a passenger now with Bitcoin, but LCDs, the Internet and LoRa are all Overton windows I have moved in my time.

That’s a lot of nuance Mike!

It’s not that INTJs didn’t think they could lose. It’s that when they pick a hill to die on you’re gonna have to go through them and kill them all (metaphorically speaking) or you’ll end up at their position in the end. I don’t know how to describe that phenomenon, but it’s true.

This is where most opponents go wrong. When they plant a flag it’s not their first point of retreat. That’s not how INTJs work - where they plant the flag may seem arbitrary to you but it’s real to them - that’s the line and it’s life or death at the line.

Hubris is not a good accusation against them.

Js are rightly or wrongly, principled AF. They’re not acting from hubris, they can justify their position.

Like me with Hodlbod - he muted me but I had a whole chain of logic behind my comments; he was too weak to hear it. I could be wrong, we’ll never know, but I’m not just gonna let some fucktard cry bald eagle as if that’s a winning move whilst I repost and laugh at him.

Interesting, it is definitely my personal sense of morality that doesn’t allow me to back down.

Perhaps I have a little bit of J in me 😂
