Lindsay Ellis Fi-Te quotes: "We're not really allowed to admit that, maybe as humans, sometimes we need to revise our own histories and frame things in a more positive light than is true" *Fi voice* allowing your personal sentiments to colour your view of the world is okay, actually. No need to be "objective" about it. "If you discover that a brand or a company, like a bank or something, did something bad or unethical, it isn't surprising. People just kind of shrug and go "yep, that's how banks roll". And maybe you'll close your account and go to a different bank, but the reality is that probably don't care enough to even do that much, because unethical multinational corporations doing terrible things to people in the name of profit is just, kind of, the world. You don't have the brain space to care about all of them." To me, this felt more Te than Fi. Maybe it's just because Lindsay isn't Young And Idealistic but it was more "this is how the world works! we're limited by constraints of the world". There's an underlying Fi morality but mostly it's her seeing the world around her in a logical, impersonal manner. "The character arcs of both Hazel and Augustus are defined by letting go of that desire for control of their own narratives, and accepting that life... short though it is, just doesn't work that way, no matter how much they wish it did." Same as above. In Ben Shapiro's words (quoted ironically), "facts don't care about your feelings". Lindsay's worldview ultimately privileges external realities (Te) over any personal values and desires (Fi). "I think at the end of the day, your feelings are your feelings, and I wish people would own that. Feelings are not rational; you can rationalize them by having supporting evidence, but at the end of the day, if you had a criticism, it's probably because you had an emotional reaction. Finding words and supporting evidence and being able to articulate why you felt that emotional reaction is kind of the best you can do, and I think the worst people can do is have an emotional reaction and not really explore it, not really put words to it, not really articulate why they feel the way they feel. Either that, or just delude themselves, which is also a really popular thing to do these days." Literally saying that all judgements are all ultimately grounded in Fi, complete rejection of any Ti-Fe ideal of impersonal judgement. It's all about ourselves! Our context. Also see the way she denounces works that "don't believe in anything" (paraphrased) constantly on her podcast Musicalsplaining. It illustrates a strong identification with Fi, the importance of actually valuing something in your art. Some quotes from her fiction and such that illustrate her Fi-Te axis well too: “You refuse to accept that you do not live in a just world. Sooner or later, you will have to.” --> classic clash between Fi ideals and cold, harsh Te reality. "Please do not assume that my decision was easy. If I'm regretful, don't try to convince me that I did the responsible thing. If I'm self-assured, don't try to guilt me. Some might call me brave. Some might say I'm a coward. Some might even call me a murderer. But this one experience out of millions, like everyone elses', it's unique and it's mine. If there's someone we'll never know, there's a potential that's been lost. The only person who lost it is me." I don't think I need to explain this. This is just clear, evident Fi. My bet is that it's between INTJ, ISTJ and ENFP.
