Instinct

This reflection is Part II in a series on survival instincts [recorded March 23, 2021]. It has two parts. In the first part I consider myself as a social 8 vs self-preservation 8 (based on the Enneagram). In the second part I contrast MBTI against the Enneagram, defining the former as a system for cognitive orientations and the latter as a system for emotional orientations. I process the history of emotions, thinking and language as relating to the human brain. I bring it all together in an attempt to understand the role emotions play in the activation of our survival instincts. An assignment is given to listeners at the end and will be eventually posted at www.yournidom.wordpress.com.
