For example, when I'm engaged with the razor while seducing a woman, I don't see her as a fully realized human being. I see variables. Information. Things that allow me to build a mental model of this person. An IOI here. A slip of the tongue that reveals her inner state there. All these things allows me to build a "mental model" of her, and then I can proceed to act in a manner that will allow me to reach whatever goal I desire.
I've already anticipated her likely response and prepared the next response, which will undoubtedly push me forward to my goal.
The fact of the matter is, the razor is a part of me. I suspect it's an INTP / ENTP thing. And I have allowed society suppress it for far too long. There are times when I feel downright guilty for being successful at something -- whether it's landing a new piece of ass or rocking someone in boxing class (the razor helps A LOT with fighting) -- because society has shamed me for engaging in an instinct that it feels is immoral.
This.
Damn you hit the nail with the hammer
I'm an ENTJ (a barely non-existent (under 5% difference between intuition/sensing) though), but I can definitely see myself with what you're saying here.
I can definitely be a ruthless person, but since I know how other people would react (extroversion) I limit myself so I can get them do to the thing I want them to do, by making them wanna do it (for me). But I don't consider my "self-control" of limiting myself as a weakness. I can use my extroversion to figure out how to get the thing(s) I want without hurting another person (critically) if possible. Yes, this could be considered manipulative but it's how I work as a human.
