Semantic Content of Di

Introverted (white) declatimity. A wide psychological range of equivalence in its introverted version.

YOU ARE THE BOSS - I AM A FOOL.

Group mentality, "unity". Emphasis on unity with the part of society closest to the subject, on associating oneself with it (with other people), on self-subjugation, on providing non-reasoning support to other members of the pack (group), regardless of their personal qualities and manifestations, based solely on their group affiliation, and in turn receiving support from them.

All of this becomes both necessary and possible due to the subject's introverted attitude (aimed at minimizing energy expenditure) and due to extremely weak critical attitude and low irritability toward the behavior and values of others (wide range of equivalence, indiscrimination in contacts).

Also important is Di's tendency to shift the issues of initiative and goal-setting onto society - this aspect of Di indicates a clear connection of this function to the left hemisphere, which, in isolation from the right hemisphere, is known in neuropsychology to be devoid of both goals and a sense of personal uniqueness and originality. Prescribed instructions and the will of others compensate for Di’s own emotional-volitional deficit, allowing it to feel "alive" and needed. Obedience, compliance, "a place in the general formation" - this is all Di.

Furthermore, Di with its wide range of equivalence does not see differences between people, ignores differences, and the subject's introversion drives them to conserve resources, including external information. Therefore, especially against the background of painful Ne (in LSI), this also leads to attempts at forced unification of everything and everyone, prohibiting any "difference".

The unification of surrounding people is also characteristic of EII, although in a different form. The theory of small deeds, the priority of caring for one’s neighbor (anyone, including parasites and enemies), ignoring social disagreements, differences, and problems under the guise of all kinds of minor charity and conciliation (in the style of EII Neville Chamberlain, who tried to appease Hitler - after all, he’s just like us, we are all brothers), as well as today’s leftist "political correctness without borders" movements, with the assertion of equal rights for humans and chimpanzees, or indigenous scientists and illegal immigrants with criminal mentalities - all of this stems from the same root, only in this case Di acts on a "peripheral" field. By leveling differences and ignoring problems, calling for mutual understanding and unity under absolutely any conditions, even peripheral Di acts in society as a conservative force, strengthening (by diverting attention and ignoring real tensions) existing vertical hierarchical models of state structure, including mafia-like ones (for example, a fascist corporate state).

Much points to the involvement of the posterior (temporal) left-hemispheric regions in the work of Di - for example, neuropsychology and neuroscience show that stimulation of these areas with electrical impulses or epileptic foci leads to behavior similar to Di: behavioral viscosity, hypertrophied discipline, reduced ability to perceive individual differences, loss of initiative, decreased instinctual sphere.
