Topic: Idealist


  
  Idealist
Idealists are naturally inductive in their thought and speech, which is to say that they move quickly from part to whole, from a few particulars to sweeping generalizations, from the smallest sign of something to its entirety.
At the very least, Idealists are the best suited of all the types to read between the lines, or to have a sixth sense about people, and they do indeed follow their hunches, heed their feelings, and insist they “just know” what people are really up to, or what they really mean.
Idealists consider all such differentiations (religious, ethnic, political, logical, and so on) to be artificial impositions onto the common experience of humanity, and they prefer to focus on what they call those “shared experiences” and “universal truths” that project similar talents and potentials into everyone, and that minimize differences.

 Someplace Somewhere - idealist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
However an idealist is also one who believes that there is no physical world and we are all just minds that have ideas and images implanted directly into us (usually via God).
Contemporary idealists sometimes claim the same thing, but then claim that it doesn't neccessarily have to be God, it might some Matrix like construct or (funnily enough) the physical world - but you just can't be sure.
That is correct, that is the negative connotation of "idealist." I personally consider myself an "idealist" in the positive form, and use "idealist" only as a compliment.

 Comparison of Idealist, Commercial and Guardian Syndromes - Nanodot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
One of Jacobs' most important ideas, I think, is the identification of the possibility of "monstrous hybrids" such as the Mafia and the Soviet Union that arise from applying ethics from one system in a context that requires the other.
As far as I can see, the main problem with Idealist is the collection, "Shun trading, Ignore ownership, Shun authority." This could lead to a widespread destruction of property value and commercial incentive.
Of course it could replace that with other value and incentive, but Idealists need to be careful to make sure we create more than we destroy.
