Introverted Thinking’s (Accuracy) contradiction:
- Antonia’s (ENTP) Accuracy challenge.
- Why Accuracy has to make choices.
- Why bias is such a bother.
- The true gains Accuracy actually gets.

This episode have increased my “suspicions” of having high Te. Thanks!
I love systems that Just. Keep. Working. Of course, as you say, nothing lasts forever, but there are at least physical systems (i.e. machines) that come close. For example clocks that’s over 100 years old, just wind up once a week and give it a few drops of oil every few years and it shows the time and chimes the hours like when it was new. That I find truly impressive, and I wish more things were built like that. It’s not necessary in every case as the functionality itself sometimes becomes outdated, but there are plenty of things that have unnecessarily short lifespans. See “planned obsolescence” (an attempt to keep the factory system viable for longer by keeping the products themselves viable for a shorter time…).
I’ve heard of your government being really cumbersome with all their papers and forms, and complicated old legalese terminology, which I of course wouldn’t like, but I really understand why they don’t want to digitize too much: the digital systems of today is anathema to sustainability. Operating systems, standards and security change faster than they can be implemented. EVERY program and service is unfinished when we get it, needing to be updated on an (ir)regular basis in order to just be secure and not leak information or be susceptible to it being unauthorizedly changed. And those flaws are usually not suddenly introduced, but discovered. They were there from the beginning, just waiting to be exploited.
Services are suddenly cancelled as the companies behind them go bankrupt or just decide that the product is too old and want to sell the new one with more bells and whistles and a COMPLETELY different user interface which everyone needs to learn to use. Quickly.
A government needs to have reliable communication channels, and a system that is in constant, more or less un-thought-through, flux can’t be reliable on its own, without frequent sudden emergency fixes, which can’t be guaranteed to work.
Also, probably quite biased, it seems to me when you describe it that (poorly used) Fe is the cause of almost all the steeply increasing tension, polarization and hate towards pretty much everyone that is today’s discussion climate. If that says more about me than society, I suppose it’s another point towards high Te, Fe being low shadow.
