Do NTs have consciousness?

Post Reply New Topic

NTs are so dumb that I doubt they have consciousness. They don't think, they just socialize and blindly follow the herd. They are like sheep.

haha. I like this question.

sadly, the answer is yes, I gues, some of them have. I'm always surprised by that fact as well, but you can actually see it shimmer through sometimes, and more often in NTs who went through some kind of crisis.
Unlike Aspies, they intuitively understand that they need their flock, and they can adapt, i.e. lower their standards (and they do so sometimes quite knowingly) to get from their herd what it is they need as humans. In other words, they may know that their herd sucks, but they prefer to get ther fix nonetheless. Aspies often are oblivious to how much they need others, and can't easily get what they need from just anyone.
evolutionary speaking, Aspies are niche, and NTs are more adaptive.

Personally, I feel pretty stupid for not being able to adapt and get what I need from my flock. And it makes me sad. But I for my part am conscious that I need human contact to some extent. I only wish I could consciously tune out the voice in my head that tells me that these people are all barbarians.

Oh look, aspie supremacy

1 A group feeling is very important to most people.
2 You don't socialize and conform --> you are against the group.
3 The longer you stand alone the more isolated you become.
4 So better be quick to socialize.
IMO that's the simple formula.

It's not so much that people have no consciousness, just the need for a group is very high and the group has some criteria what is required to be accepted.
Group is desired --> resources are allocated to fit into a group... compromise must be made, maybe need to accept a subordinate role just to fit in.

Also, everyone is dumb to some extent, sometimes...
