Closing My Patreon Account

[@MicrowavedBread]

I couldn't imagine going to grad school right now, let alone while feeling obligated to churn out youtube content. Take your time and don't feel rushed. Even in little videos like this, I always appreciate your sincerity and thoughtfulness. You honestly don't owe us anything, and I'm extremely grateful to have been exposed to everything you've created. Live life at your own pace and be kind to yourself!

As a content creator myself, I really feel your creative and motivation problems behind it. It's very difficult for me to force myself to make a video if I'm not very PARTICULARLY motivated to do it. In my case, I try to fill my videos with things I’m very passionate about, like fueling a furnace with coal to keep the fire going. In the end though, you should just make the videos as you want to. Interesting ideas like the 16 types music guessing game or even just you rambling about interesting topics are things that emerge spontaneously. At this point, insofar it is something you want to share, I’ll watch Michael Pierce talking about anything, lol.

Hi, mr.Pierce! I just want to tell you you are extremely enjoyable to hear you talk. You are such a gentle soul, Mr.Michael, the appreciation you have for humanity and your humility - you know so much yet you are so humble and kind, makes me a follower of yours. I will also read summarization of your book to further your knowledge. I have mistyped as many types. I know you won't see this, but THANK YOU. For making such simple and easy to understand explanations of the cognitive functions while being so kind and humble. ❤

I did see this. ;) Thank you so much for your kind words! All the best to you as well!

[@GhostofJung]

you are the man Mr. Pierce!

Hey Mike, a new sub here but I read your articles a lot! Thx a ton for your work! BTW just bought your book!

[@romain6063]

Nice video. Keep being you. Just purchased your book.

You don't need to include your Patreon Account when you're doing taxes because it's a minimal amount. To improve the education system, classes need to not be just a list of obligations. Do you have an audiobook version of your Motes and Beams book?

[@erikhoopes]

Keep on doing what you feel called to, Michael, it is clearly serving you well. Thank you for all the helpful videos you've provided!

You rock dude

Your INFJ need for authenticity is really apparent in this video.

[@ivey2k71]

You should talk about shadow functions

Hi Michael! I know the feeling of not wanting to be beholden to the people, but nevertheless “loving them.” Relating to your Quantum Mechanics videos, do you think Einstein was right or Bohr? Email me. 🤓

[@realitiesoftypology7502]

But what if there was a way you could not get any money, but STILL be beholden to us all!?!

[@MichaelPiercePhilosophy]

That's called auxiliary Fe ;)

[@realitiesoftypology7502]

@@MichaelPiercePhilosophy You can never escape Mr. Pierce! Seriously though, I hope you find the space you need to do what you want to do, and be whom you want to be.

Hi Michael. Unrelated to this video, but what type do you think Schopenhauer is?

[@selenapink98]

Hi Michael - I recently purchased your book and was disappointed to see you type Hitler as an INFJ. I feel like, in reading Mein Kampf and learning about his style of leadership, it seems obvious that he was an ISTJ. His writing reeks of the sort of Si-Fi loop you might expect of an ISTJ locked up in prison, and he was known to be a top-down micromanager the way you might expect from a Si-Te user. I think it’s a gross generalization how often the ability to orate is conflated with Fe. The cause of German Nationalism personally appealed to Hitler’s Fi (aux Te-tertiary Fi), and there is a historically record of a great many Te-using commanders who ostensibly lacked Fe (Napoleon). Furthermore, I think this mistyping under-represents the capabilities of Si users who can often be apt storytellers- subjective perception domination is not inherent to Ni, especially where it concerns personal experience, and combined with Fi, a personal vendetta. Don’t you think that maybe this is just the sort of thing people say to be contrarian toward the romanticized image of the INFJ? I feel like this mistyping does a huge disservice to our understanding of the complexities of Fi and Si, and the ways in which Si-using xSXJs can actually be extremely future oriented (in terms of planning based on personal histories).
