An example of this is the Friends episode where they go out for a nice dinner and the 3 poor friends (Joey, Rachel, Phoebe) order cheap items, the rich ones (Ross, Monica, Chandler) order pricey things, and Ross casually suggests splitting check evenly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYb9jnt2cv4 …

MBTI language is convenient but not necessary to think this through. It has a positive side-effect of turning off statistics-rationalists If Fe is futile harmony theater, Fi is an irregular verb: “I’m behaving with integrity, you’re moral posturing, he’s causing a useless scene”

A “values scene” is somebody breaking a harmony theater (often accising others of hypocrisy) and strutting around causing a scene, while sermonizing about how they’re not going to compromise their integrity. It’s as futile as the harmony theater.https://youtu.be/Uwapf5DnUrs?t=170 …
