Hello!!!

Hi, I'm a '85 early millennial, I have been browsing this forum for a few months, read the fourth turning and it confirmed a lot of thoughts I had about cultural periods(big waves tend to happen about every 40-50 years, the last one know as "the sixties" and the current one just beginning around '08).

Welcome, fellow Millie!
To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.

I don't know enough about Jung's original type system to type myself(he writes in a very convoluted style) but I am a INTP TiNeSiFe under Lenore Thompson's cognitive function system and 5w4 seems to fit too. My big five scores are pretty clear in each dimension but the agreeable/disagreeable scale which I am pretty even on, so my SLOAN "type" is RCUaI(reserved, calm, unstructured, somewhat agreeable, and inquisitive).

I type as INFJ under MBTI, but upon my study of Jung's own writings, I think I am a Jungian Extravert.

I'm a bit of a Jung "purist" and think MBTI bastardizes Jung's ideas and twists them into a poor copy of the big five. I score as an F because I have a high agreeableness score on the Big 5 (Minnesota Nice and all that), not because I'm actually a Jungian F.

Hey there Emman, I'm an '88 millennial outlier (had Silent-like parents) who enjoys the intellectual stimulation that these forums provide--and the people here as well.

Welcome to the family,

Maybe the war needs a breather, a war can even break its neck, so to speak. But the kings and emperors, not to mention the pope, will always come to its help in adversity. ON the whole, I'd say this war has very little to worry about, it'll live to a ripe old age."

Don't forget the endless bickering of: "No, you're an idiot for being this political ideology!" that almost every thread breaks down into at some point or another.

Still, even with the pop culture (which I absolutely enjoy and would welcome more of it as it is a break from the item I mentioned above) I can still find interesting things around here.

Oh yeah, and welcome Emman!

Hey, little dude!

Why didn't you come back with your other handle:"Pheonix"?

I really liked it, FWIW.

Its complicated. But I'll just say this: 95 and alive has to find an idenity. Then the 95man that is currently alive will die and then be reborn as a new person.

So in other words: Im having idenity problems and when I feel I have an idenity I will become "Pheonix".

I can dig it. Coming through "loud and clear"!

A word of advice, if I may: Take your time. It'll happen when you least expect it, IMO.

'Til then,(or whenever!)
