Re: Russell Brand Redux

Rereading the Russell Brand thread on enneaforum has been quite the romp. This was inspired by a Due Dissidence takedown of his recent conversion to Christianity and advertising of an anti-radiation amulet as grifting. I thought, if only you had heard him exhort jubilantly to Ben Shapiro several years ago, "You and I are men of God, Ben!" you might not be so sure his conversion was fake, and I went back to retrieve the Brand/Shapiro thread.
Anyways I 'm still totally convinced TeNi with extremely amplified Ne sixth and Fe eighth is right for Brand and I'm thinking we could have avoided the entire FeNi wild goose chase in the 2021 thread and quite possibly landed on TeNi a lot sooner if we had only taken to heart this one observation on 'qualia' of Auburn's: Fi/Te axis shows up in a 'snarly smile'. No one snarls more or better than RB.
We were aware at the time that he was different from all our FeNi exemplars and that was what kept us from settling on it. But time and experience would exclude him from that type immediately based on his sheer headiness and primacy of crisp logicality. What does happen with Russell is that Te and Ne get tangled up. And this would have been no mystery and we probably would also have landed on TeNi sooner--once we established his strong Se and rejected NeFi (Auburn's typing of him based in no small part on his supposedly "naive eyes")--had we not held the fanciful notion that I was an NiFi jumper, since he and I, as stated repeatedly, are energetically very similar and my Te and Ne are likewise entwined.
The similarity comes from being mirrors. It was hiding in plain sight and rereading the old thread it's all right there, eluding us.
