Well, it means that you don’t move around as much and you don’t learn new things. You stay “in your head” too much. Maybe you isolate yourself or surround yourself with people who are really predictable and like you. Maybe you don’t expose yourself to people who are different from you. Maybe you tend to avoid complexity and ambiguity, so you want simple single answers to complex issues and questions.

That, by the way, is the path to authoritarianism and totalitarian thinking. I’m not simplifying things to say, “look, if you’re metabolically compromised, you’re going to become like an authoritarian.” What I’m saying is that while we experience and understand things at the mental and social level, there’s this really basic metabolic level that we’ve been ignoring, and it’s important to understand as a piece of some of the biggest challenges that we face personally and also as a society.

Well with socionics certains types indeed tend to avoid complexity and ambiguity. Jfl ur kind of pushing alpha Quadra values there and even seem like ur trying to defend an ILE lol.

That said it depends from context certain types tend to avoid ambiguity and want single simple answers cause it complement their strengths well you would be them you would feel different . For example an SEE an LSE or SLE to different degree are more action oriented they can't stand too much this ambiguity and diving too much into complex stuff theorizing and exploring multiple possibilities they find this useless and boring and in a sense they can be right sometimes its pointless you might go nowhere and you need to act.

For example in crisis times its evident that betas values are more suited there is no time to think too much and explore possibilities you need to act decisively. For example and avoid being too black and white here but alpha types naturally will still have a tendency to consider all the possibilities in a situation where it's not beneficial and that make the difference. Or other values

There is advantage and flaws. I see the advantage of having this mindset it make it easier to lead for example be more "productive" or for example imo TE is quicker than TI i would say and sometimes and you need something quick. It depends on context. Tbh im still thinking about all this myself and i might not present it in the best way.
@Daquan How do you think you can connect this to socionics?

Tbh, I think different "personalities" are just categorizes of specific metabolic rates
Yeah, maybe. Some types clearly have different energy lvl for example, it's mentioned but it depends. For example a type could have energy to explore a complex topic for hours but not have as much energy to make things happen in the "real" world. Another type could have more energy to make things happen in the "real" world and be "productive" but not as much to explore a complex topic and talk about its implications listen and stay focus it'll drain him . We get energized differently by different things. A Sei working creatively for hours for example ect...
