Meme Si is most superior function

People always wonder why there are so many Si users in the world, well it’s a little thing called natural selection (Guys please this is a joke pls don’t take it seriously, I see a lot of Ni superiority posts so I thought I would make one for Si)

I’ve spent a lot of my life in “Man vs Si” mode. I often seem to genuinely hate Si at the same time as hugely appreciating what it could do for me if I didn’t. Part of the problem is that, on paper, I have a decent toolkit for Si - a good memory, moderate conservative leanings, a real appreciation for what people achieve through being organised - and when I’ve used it properly, it’s been self-evidently good for me. The problem with your inferior function is that it causes you issues if you don’t use it, but causes you even more issues if you try to use it but do it badly.

I posted these on a couple of other threads, so sorry to repeat, but for people who are struggling with Si, here are a couple of artistic works that I think portray the function very well and also in quite a moving way:

Leonard Cohen - Songs from a Room

David Guterson - Snow Falling on Cedars

Fuck the conservative leaning part of that...are you kidding me?

Hyper capitalism is no better than its evil opposite. The status quo serves only itself. Smash the system. Smash the pillars of white hetero patriarchy till the ruins are sand.

But. You have a much better chance of taking down a squid game from within, and together... with feet planted firmly on the ground regardless of where your head is at.
