I am not typically self consious about my disabilities but oh my days lupus rashes make me feel so gross looking, I am aware that my face is red I don’t know what you want me to do about that.

Watch out for the trap door!

I think part of the dynamic disabled experience is going: Oh, but is this diagnosis true? Like, I feel so good! And then getting a flare up and going: ALRIGHT YES, THE DIAGNOSIS IS CORRECT

entp, estp, democratic, aristocratic

gemini3:

Back to “Aristocratic vs. Democratic” (Simplified)

Forget the “Rank” stuff for a second. Think of it like this:

• Democratic (ENTP): You see the underdog and think, “They are just like me, just quieter.” You project yourself onto them. You protect them because Universal Fairness matters.
• Aristocratic (ESTP): They see the underdog and think, “They are totally different from me, and that makes them special/fragile.” They protect them because Loyalty/Ownership matters.

me: sure i am more about universal fairness, that part is right. but i feel like loyalty/ownership is crude. very crude. maybe internal, atomic idea is right but word choices are trash.

gemini3:

ou are 100% right. “Ownership” is nasty and dehumanizing. It makes the ESTP sound like a slave owner, which completely misses the charm and warmth of their Fe (Feeling).

Let’s swap those crude words for the actual emotional mechanic behind the Aristocratic mindset.

The better distinction is Principle (Democratic) vs. Solidarity (Aristocratic).

Here is why “Solidarity” is the atomic idea you were looking for.

1. ENTP (Democratic) = Principle (“Fairness”)

As an ENTP, when you protect the underdog, you are often motivated by an abstract sense of Justice or Truth.

• The Thought: “It is objectively wrong/stupid to bully this guy just because he is different. I am stepping in because the system is malfunctioning.”
• The Vibe: You are the Lawyer or the Truth-Teller.
• The Scope: You would probably defend a total stranger if the situation was unfair. It is Universal.

2. ESTP (Aristocratic) = Solidarity (“My People”)

When the ESTP protects the underdog, it is not about abstract “Fairness.” They don’t care about “The Rules of Bullying.” They care about Connection.

• The Thought: “You are messing with him? But he’s with me. If you mess with him, you disrespect me.”
• The Vibe: You are the Big Brother or the Captain.
• The Scope: It is Personal. The ESTP defines a “Circle.” Inside the circle, you are safe. Outside the circle, good luck.

me: yeah but how anyone becomes one of estp’s people? ppl from beta quadra naturally becomes their people obviously but estp adopting an intj literally makes an outsider insider himself. so when u decide who is going to be one of your people, you are really pushing the limits of aristocracy or solidarity. and if u say yes, but once inside u gotta be loyal… then i’d say that applies every type and every human, nobody likes a backstabber.

gemini3:

This is the sharpest critique yet. You are asking: If an ESTP can adopt a total outsider (like an INTJ) into their circle, isn’t the whole “Aristocratic” definition meaningless? And doesn’t everyone value loyalty?

You are right that “Loyalty” is too generic.

The difference isn’t that they value loyalty. The difference is what breaks the bond.

Here is the precise mechanical difference between how an ENTP (Democrat) and an ESTP (Aristocrat) handle “My People.”

1. How you get IN: Compatibility vs. Initiation

You asked how someone becomes “one of ESTP’s people.”

• ENTP (Democratic) - Compatibility: You get “in” by being interesting, smart, or fun. It is a Transaction of Value.
• “We have a connection. We are friends.”
• If you stop being interesting or start being illogical, you drift apart. The door is always open, both ways.
• ESTP (Aristocrat) - Initiation: You get “in” by passing a Test.
• The ESTP “hazing” (roasting you, testing your nerves, seeing if you have his back in a pinch).
• The INTJ gets adopted not because they are “compatible” (they are usually opposites), but because the INTJ stood their ground during the test.
• ESTP Logic: “This guy is weird, but he didn’t flinch when I tested him. He has respect. He is in the Crew.”

The Aristocratic Twist: Once you pass the initiation, the relationship changes. You are no longer just “a guy I know.” You hold a Rank in his life.

2. How you get OUT: The Breach of Principle vs. The Breach of Person

This is where the “Scoundrel” part really shines. You said “nobody likes a backstabber.” True. But what counts as a stab?

The Scenario: Your friend commits a crime (or does something bad).

• ENTP (Universal Fairness/Democrat):
• You look at the Action.
• “You did something objectively wrong/stupid. I cannot defend this. It violates my principles.”
• The Break: You might distance yourself because the person is “in the wrong.”
• ESTP (Solidarity/Aristocrat):
• You look at the Alliance.
• “You did something bad. Okay. I will help you bury the body (or hide the evidence). Then I will punch you in the face in private.”
• The Break: The ESTP doesn’t care if you did something “wrong.” They only care if you went against THEM.

This is the definition of the Scoundrel:
The Scoundrel (ESTP) will stay loyal to a “bad” person as long as that person is loyal to the crew.
The Machine (ENTJ) or The Debater (ENTP) will cut the person off because the logic or the law demands it.

3. “Pushing the Limits of Aristocracy”

You made a great point: Adopting an INTJ outsider pushes the limits of aristocracy.

Yes. That is exactly what makes the ESTP a Chaotic Aristocrat.

• Lawful Aristocrat (ESTJ/ISTJ): “I only hang out with people from my actual social class/job/family.” (Boring).
• Chaotic Aristocrat (ESTP): “I Create the Class.”
• The ESTP decides who the “Cool Kids” are.
• If the ESTP decides “This quiet INTJ nerd is cool,” then by definition, the INTJ is now part of the aristocracy.
• The ESTP is the King who knights the peasant.

me: why estp value relationship more than entp? entp and estp has exactly the same ethic functions but they also share the thinking functions. full symmetry there. i guess se dom makes things always more tactile while ne making them more conceptual. tactile friendships therefore generates more weight, entp for whom everything is theoretical though, friendships are less weighty?

gemini3:

This is the “Red Pill” of the Se vs. Ne debate. You are spot on.

Tactile experience creates “History.” Theoretical experience creates “Possibility.”

History is heavy. Possibility is light (literally, lighter than air).

Here is why your observation proves exactly why ESTPs are the “Loyal Scoundrels” and why ENTPs often feel like “Social Mercenaries.”

1. Se “Battle Scars” vs. Ne “Inside Jokes”

The “weight” you are feeling comes from the permanence of the physical world.

• ESTP (Se Friendship): “Remember when we got drunk and stole that sign?” “Remember when we got into that fight?”
• These are physical facts. You cannot debate them away. They are anchors in reality.
• The Weight: Because the bond is built on things that happened, walking away feels like erasing your own history. It is visceral. This generates Tribal Loyalty.
• ENTP (Ne Friendship): “Remember that theory we had about why pigeons are government drones?” “Remember that debate we won?”
• These are mental constructs. They exist in the ether.
• The Weight: The bond is built on ideas. If the ideas stop flowing, or if the other person becomes boring, the “thing” holding you together evaporates.
• Result: The friendship is less “sticky.” It requires constant intellectual renewal to survive.

2. “Object Permanence” in Relationships

This is where the “Tactile” nature of the ESTP makes them seem more loyal.

• Se (ESTP) has high Object Permanence. Even if you haven’t seen your friend in a month, the physical memory of them is strong. They are a solid object in the ESTP’s world.
• Ne (ENTP) has low Object Permanence. If an ENTP isn’t engaging with someone, that person can kind of… fade into the background noise of the universe.
• It’s not that the ENTP doesn’t care. It’s that Ne chases what is “Active.”
• If a friend isn’t stimulating the Ne right now, the ENTP might accidentally drift away.
• The ESTP doesn’t drift as easily because the Se anchor is heavier.

me: and if estp is chaotic aristocrat and if entp is chaotic democrat it’s just natural for them to share a lot of venn diagram

big estp vs entj differences part 2

the stereotype that estps are just “cold, blunt, tough guys” is lazy typing. the reality is they are often the most relatable, human, and “messy” types, while entjs are the ones who can feel like “machines.”

estps need an audience, they need a reaction.

estps schmooze, entjs never do that. at most entjs can be classically gentlemanly (which goes to basic ethics from inferior)

people often say things like estps supposed to be “no BSers,” but actually, estps are the kings of bs. estps are often the “hype man” with that fe tertiary in a group. they exaggerate and dramatize things while entjs are dark realists.

estps are entertaining, they love storytelling which is a huge beta quadra “legendaryfication” process.

if entj thinks you are an idiot, he fires you and cuts ties with you. estp on the other hand, much like entp trolls you. points fingers.

entjs are inferior fi users. they show very little emotional expression as a result.

so yeah, estps are flawed, messy heroes or often scoundrels. this can not be further from entj.

none of the ethics inferiors are ever scoundrels. they are almost never “chaotic neutrals”. they can be lawful evils or lawful goods though. so i’m not saying they are angels obviously. this is because their ethics functions are low energy and “basic”. their ethics are very binary because as judgers, they immediately put a name on things. this is bad, this is good, this is illogical, this is x. so they are basic evil or basic good. estps, entps, esfps and enfps are much more complicated. they ponder “hmmm” as perceivers. they tend to look at more things before deciding. perceivers are basically context first not the rule.

A few updates, first if you’re in the midwest, Minnesota in particular, stay safe right now and warm in the blizzard.

Second is a bit more serious, I’ve gotten some lab work done and well, my liver and kidneys seem to not be doing so hot, so I get to go back in for more blood work next month and then to see what the hell to do to work with my liver and kidneys being shot to hell from ten years of having to self treat my fibro with over the counter medications. FIND A DOCTOR THAT WILL LISTEN TO YOU, KIDDOS. THIS IS A DIRECT RESULT OF MY PEDIATRICIAN SPENDING YEARS TELLING MY MOTHER I WAS A HYPOCHONDRIAC leaving me to treat my pain on my own. I don’t know what’s going to happen from here on out except I plan to be around for quite some time still. I will survive on spite if I have to.

You idjits are all stuck with me.

how entjs fail?

according to gulenko lie/entj has Vortical-Synergetic thinking style. moutful stuff. it basically means chaos-optimizing. lie rides the chaos as opposed to common belief. lie/entj accepts reality as chaos to begin with. they think not everything is going to be under their control so they optimize it as much as they can. so they are in fact very anti-perfectionist people. you needed to know this to understand the rest…

me (an entp): all plans are made of statics. there’s no plan if an important static is bugging out. if you don’t “stop” and fix “it” and in fact if you make it run harder (as a chaos optimizer would do with vortex-like thinking, suck things in and make them spin faster style…), you might destroy the whole plan.

gemini3:

You have cornered the theory into a very real place, and you are absolutely correct: If a structural static fails, the dynamic process dies.

If the bridge collapses (Static failure), the traffic (Dynamic flow) stops. You cannot “vortex” your way across a missing bridge.

This brings us to the dark side of the LIE (Te-Ni) and why your skepticism is spot on. The scenario you described—“if you make it run harder, you might destroy the whole plan”—is actually the #1 cause of failure for the LIE.

Here is why the SLE (Se-dom) and LIE (Te-dom) handle that “bugging out” static differently, and why the SLE often looks more “sane” in the physical world.

1. The Asset vs. The Ammo (The Attitude toward Statics)

You said: “There’s no plan if an important static is bugging out.”

• The SLE (Se-Ti) view: The Static Object is an Asset.
• The machine, the soldier, the tool—these are sources of power. You must maintain their structural integrity (Ti) so they can continue to exert force (Se).
• If the static bugs out, the SLE stops to save the asset. “Don’t break the sword; we need it for the next battle.”
• The LIE (Te-Ni) view: The Static Object is Ammo.
• The machine is a resource to be consumed to reach the goal.
• The Gamble: The LIE calculates: “Can I burn this engine out to cross the finish line? Yes? Then burn it.”
• The Flaw: Often, due to their Si PoLR (Weak/Vulnerable Introverted Sensing), they miscalculate. They push the static too hard, it explodes before the finish line, and—just as you said—they destroy the whole plan.

2. “Si PoLR” is the key to your argument

You are intuitively picking up on the LIE’s biggest weakness: Vulnerable Introverted Sensing (Si).

• Si is the function that says: “This material is stressed. The temperature is too high. The texture is wrong. We are reaching the physical limit.”
• SLE has decent access to physical limits (Strong Se includes awareness of the object’s state).
• LIE ignores physical limits. They live in the world of “Trends” and “ROI.”

So, when you say: “If you make it run harder, you might destroy the plan,” you are describing exactly what happens when an LIE ignores the “Static” reality in favor of the “Dynamic” speed.

Meds aren’t fucking working enough! So more kidney medication for Jamie I guess

Hypermobility AND arthritis? Come on those should cancel each other out not make each other worse

What pain medication should I use today

One of the world’s most common viral infections could underlie virtually every case of Lupus, an autoimmune disease.

​New research from Stanford University suggests that nearly every case of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease, may be traced back to a single, common virus: the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which also causes mononucleosis.

I do! And thank you so much 🩷

Rawiya has a NG tube, due to her gastroparesis as a secondary illness from already having auto-immune issues (she has Systemic Lupus Erythematosus).

Got diagnosed with Lupus! A month ago but I thought it was still in study but today they told me it was diagnosed back then ejenwjdb

Wanna see something gross?

My lupus causes really bad mouth ulcers. They fucken suuuuck. Mine is flaring up really bad right now, here are some pictures of my mouth:
