Firstly, I'm just looking for Socratic duscussion, on Reddit of all places. You're welcome to insult me if the post offends you. This post isn't a personal vendetta against Veganism. I understand not all vegans avoid meat for ethical reasons.

In my veiw eating meat is fine because you don't kill anything. The vegan response is typically along the lines of 'you are paying someone to kill the animal, so it's abetting. Would you like that done to you?'

Yes. You should be allowed to pay anyone to kill anything, because that doesn't force anyone to kill or make killing right.

Again: 'if paying hitmen is allowed, the world ends.'

That's a non sequitur. The mere possibility of hurting someone hurts no one. Your real fear—if I may be so bold—is suffering at the hands of a butcher. Nothing prior.

To those who believe in free will: explain how paying a butcher necesarily results in a murder; why he cannot simply walk away from money.

To those who do not believe in free will: we're of a similar mind. Free will is one of the silliest concepts man has created. Though the implication of no free will is that no one can truly be for their actions.

Not in the traditional sense. More on that if we get there.

Trust is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.

I notice INFJs tend to trust too much or too little because their stack is frontloaded with functions that rely heavily on autonomous parts of the human psyche.

That looks like being too yielding or too stubborn. It closes doors to heaven and attracts demons from hell, respectively. The INFJs values control them, rather than the other way around.

My suggestion?

Trust is evil. Rely only on what is certain: nothing.

Ni is the consort of trust; it uses apart of ourselves we have no direct control over—our subconscious—to bring us information otherwise lost to fallible minds.

But what if Ni doesn't demand your trust? What if trust is being relied upon where certainty is better suited?

Well, that'd just be human. I know I'm INTP but I'm not going to suggest you replace your flesh with metal ʸᵉᵗ. It's human to put trust in the wrong person. Human to overestimate and underestimate.

I'm empathetic to the role trust serves when we have no choice—that includes being plain exhausted.

But I don't think trust is a good thing. It's not to be idealized or coveted. Trust is ultimately a compromise between what we get, and what we deserve.

Only, I'm sure many of you disagree on what we deserve. Afterall trust has already become apart of your identity. Your relationships, and way of life. How many of you would say you don't trust your friends, family or spouses.

Even if certainty brought happiness where trust failed, some don't think they deserve happiness. Others are too good for it.

Many think they are too weak without faith to contend with life's uncertainties.

What's more, trust and fear are false dichotomies. It takes a very strange person to trust none yet fear none. Still, that neutrality is a source of strength for slaying demons and opening doors I think many an INFJ could benefit from.

This is where my research on you becomes vague and unreliable. Here are a few optional questions. You're lucky they're not mandatory! Ahaha! Hahaha! Hoho-Holy Fuck I hate managing reader retention but this post is so fucking dry.

1. Do you take the lead or follow in your relationships?

2. If you were forced to choose between stability and intensity in a partner?

3. To what degree is love a factor in your enjoyment of intercourse? Yes intercourse not s*x. Reddit mods probably got his reticle on my forehead as I type.

4. Do you get shy around your crush/partner?

5. Pick one of these 3 to best describe intercourse:

Adventure. De-masking. Bonding.

I've been sitting here for 30 minutes trying not to sound like I want you to take a fat shit on my chest or whatever these FreakBob mods are about to project onto me when I press post. I swear I'm 100% impartial. This is just research.
