Why is INFJ the rarest type?

Then Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World would look more and more appealing everyday apparently. Lol.
We may as well all lament our existence.

Nice avatar btw.
I almost thought it was you at first EM. hehe. I think we each attract similar tastes every now and then. When I saw the avatar yesterday, I had to do a double take. : )
Hoping you are well. <3
 
Lmao. Thanks. Choosing to not die today. Hope you’re doing well too.

You've got this EM. You're doing great, taking a step forward every single day is all you can ask of yourself. You're also not alone; if you ever needed to reach out, you know that there are those who would stand with you if you asked. I hope you find moments of happiness that speak to your soul today.
 
Dying is for suckers who are tricked into restarting their life all over again.

Living just delays the restart on the garbage train.

Just stay on board and ride it out, it gets better, it gets worse, but it gets nonetheless.
 
Just a casual speculative thought for consideration:

If you can think of existence as a kind of simulation game made up of (for lack of better words) "consciousness"; there are rules, there are boundaries, there are previous players, and newbs, etc. I like to even go further and see it as a SIMs-like game set in a casino-like/arcade environment full of games any individual can play if they can afford to. And all of the conscious creatures are in this environment playing various games, reaping various rewards, winning various contests, and counting various losses. Imagine type as a kind of program in a persons consciousness, and the INxJ pattern is the most likely to be able to put the various impressions of the casino together and clearly see that it is in fact a game. And this game is also kind of rigged in some ways. They just observe this stuff. ENxJs can see this and talk this way too, but they try to use this perception to kind of "manipulate" or "hack" the game. I am also of the belief that the INFJ type isn't all that much "rarer" than the INTJ type, but if they are, it's because the Te function allows one to at least show some competence in following the "rules of the game", whereas an Ni-dom with Fe auxiliary would be at an evolutionary disadvantage, since they must choose what they feel or find some way to "enjoy" this reality as a game, knowing good and well its fake, tremendously rigged, and unfair. INFJ is kind of like the odd-one-out, the "sprite" that accidentally "fell through the cracks" so to speak...

I think INFJ is possibly the rarest type because they are the most likely to see through a lot of illusion and still be OK just being themselves with it. It's like they don't have too many choices to hide or pretend at the end of the day.
Also I think Blake Stellar was right when he says "Ni ruins everything". It kind of cuts to the chase of the essence of things, even before the individual puts the impressions into language, and therefore, experience can lose its lustre.
Ni as a dominant function can be difficult to convince into playing a game, carrying on a course of action, or motivate into doing something simply for the sake of being there, doing it, for the thing itself.
