My 'co-ethnic' upon whom TPAS lavishes praise and when he criticizes, criticizes gently. At FIRST (in a different video) I thought it was because he was an identical with all functions developed, so sort of a fourth function psychopomp, but then I realized..wait no, I think they're activity partners? FeNi with very high Fi unignoring? He acts like it's his dool. Maybe Matt's the closest he's likely to come to to a dool in this area of inquiry, right up his alley--the nuts and bolts of building a viable economic policy-centered neo-progressivism.

Hmmm I'm not sure (yet). I don't quite get mirror vibes from him, and i'm not quite sure i get beta ones either.
He can't be SeTi because there is no way in hell he is Fi polr.
But why not SeFi ?
What he says about business, policies and economics seems to go beyond what i would expect from FeNi Te role.
"this stuff is fascinating"
This seems "front stack" to me and could be tertiary.
He systematically opposes practical outcomes (Te) to abstract fairness and ideological purity (Ti, which he immediately reinterprets in Fi-ish terms of "virtue") in a way that seems consistent with Te agenda vs Ti polr.
For example, if i'm right, his critique of the "weird ideological disposition about fantastic utopias" and his remark about Obama "observing his politics as if he was a pundit" could be Ti polr "canary in the coal mine".
What he says about authority (not being authoritarian per se, and being actually needed) could be Ne role imo. Pointing out what is essential (and from a Se dom perspective, essential right now in this zeitgeist) about the function.
That would make him TPAS' kindred (and Jimmy Dore's almost identical)

Maybe, maybe...tbh at times he sounds exactly, and I mean exactly, like me in 'public mode'. Was kinda wondering about that. And he seems to have gone through something similar to me where being a left liberal progressive democrat was like a religion until he realized it was and that the left just was not looking at things on a case by case basis, they weren't dealing with reality. I mean a lot of people went through similar things but something about his articulation...Maybe he has a pipeline? He seems to have a lot of the cock-eyed look of Ni dom yet can't be that. And you're right, he's probably not even tribal enough to be beta. Ti PolR though... Here's some more stuff: his twitter
his bio
his book on amazon with 'look inside' his newsletter vincent |

Ti polr doesn't seem impossible to me. In healthy and educated people, and "as power", Ti polr can be something like an immunity to ideological ridigity, a freedom to think concretely.
I agree he doesn't seem tribal enough for beta, and his actual focus doesn't seem to be consistent with subservience complex btw.
On the other hand, it might very well be consistent with "tied hands complex". The ties in this case being ideological axioms and Ti principles (which weaponized Fe would also denounce as "fake").
I can definitely see a lot of similarity with you, and even if i'm wrong about him being SeFi, i'm pretty sure gamma will turn out to be right at least.
Thanks for the links, i will take a look and get back to him soon.

I didn't even know what to call him in the title of the thread. He only has one book so he's not really an 'author', he's not really a political theorist or a social critic because his field is economics but he's not really an economist either; he's not exactly in politics, he's not exactly an activist; pundit or commentator sounds wrong...he's not quite a journalist though he has a newsletter...he kind of just...is...which very well could be SeFi...

I think I may call him 'anti-monopolist' or something.

He titled his book Goliath.
So i guess you can call him David too.
And i could definitely see David as SeFi.

Looking at table of contents; you're right, oc his Te is way too good for role.

Yeah, the first couple pages of the book kind of seal it. So.... my dual. See...ultimately it's all Shakespeare to him too.  (and the only way to get tpas to accept fi is to sneak it in in the back pocket of fe demo on se frame...) |

He is what the socionists mean when they say gamma are the 'democrats'.

Oh right !
That makes a lot of sense indeed.

Jimmy Dore becomes himself when he allows what Matt's saying to sink in. He puts down his gun and relaxes into 'being'. (one can also harbor some hope that... ) |

"Whoever gets there first, I'm there for you"--speaking to Europe and the US. Now, that's self-confidence.
E-wise I guess he's a healthy triple attached 3w2 with 9 moving way into 8, maybe another so/sp?
