I know that many, many lives can be impacted if mindless or ineffective policies are put in to place. However, I don't think I could ever be that invested in that issue because it seems so far from who I am and my own identity. It sounds selfish, yes, but the idea I'm immersed has to be connectable (by my own subjective criteria) to how I view myself as a person (which sometimes can include my roots). The roots part is where it gets problematic. I sometimes wonder if I have Si as a dominant function rather than Fi. I mean, it makes sense with what I said in my post above. My tendency to be self centred? The passage of time flowing strangely? I recall vaguely these qualities being associated with unhealthy higher Si users, I don't quite know. I don't think it's my dominant, however, because although sometimes I do associate new things with things I've seen before and although I can be quite sentimental, I don't think that it's my way of life. I'm quite impulsive in that regard.
