I noticed a few similar threads on you're side of the forum (also you guys seem to be more engaged in these sort of subjects than the most of the INTPs in the INTP sub-forum), so I've decided to post this here to get the INFPs' perspectives.
Here is the question and the topic:
What type of crisis would you consider to be best for humanity to overcome in order to "change"*?
*open to interpretation
The crisis type the highest chance of us surviving would be "Ourselves" (as were unlikely to be so desperate as to be willing to destroy the whole of humanity) and the crisis type with the highest chance of us getting wiped out would be "Extra-terrestrial threat" (because I highly doubt a space age civilization capable of travelling all the way over here would have a hard time wiping the floor with us, if they so wished).
Take note that ,for example, "Extra-terrestrial threat - alien invasion" indicates the type of crisis (i.e. a crisis involving intelligent extra-terrestrial beings) and then after the dash is an example of the said type of crisis (i.e. an alien invasion).
Here is a explanation of the types:
Ourselves - we are the cause of our own crisis point. Example: WW3
Gradual - the crisis happens over a period of time. Example: resource depletion etc.
Sudden - the crisis happens suddenly without warning. Example: global pandemic, societal collapse, zombie apocalypse etc.
Imminent and unavoidable - the crisis' occurrence is imminent (i.e. it hasn't happened yet) and unavoidable (in other words the crisis point is the anticipation of the crisis). Example: imminent asteroid collision etc.
Extra-terrestrial threat - the crisis is a result of intelligent extra terrestrial beings (as apposed to unintelligent extra-terrestrial beings).
None at all - we don't need a crisis to spur us to "change" (self explanatory).
None - humanity wouldn't come out any "better" anyway (self explanatory).
Other/specific - you don't like my options/ you hate my guts/ you want to suggest a more specific type of crisis/ you wanted to click something.
All types welcome to vote and comment, as I just want an INFP majority.
