Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Intellectually-honest: Explicitly values being proven wrong and separates method from ideology, e.g. saying as an orthodox libertarian he wrote an orthodox article showing MST reduces slavery in “sou ortodoxo, sou libertário… MST reduz escravidão no campo”.
- Analytical: Breaks issues into structured points and threads (e.g. numbered analysis of car taxes in “Alguns pontos: 1. A ideia não é ruim…” and multi-tweet Venezuela thread in “VENEZUELA CAIU: O QUE O BRASIL DEVE FAZER? Thread abaixo.”).
- Methodological-minded: Frequently references methodology and modelling, defending orthodoxy as a method and critiquing heterodox economics and IR realism in “Ortodoxia é um método…” and “eu realmente desgosto de autores realistas em relações internacionais”.
- Civically-engaged: Consistently comments on public policy, democracy, and security (e.g. concern about research on elections in “Importante clarificação sobre como é feita a seleção de candidatos…” and analysis of militias vs. state authority in “Não dá pra tolerar competição com o Estado…”).
- Nuanced: Often takes middle or conditional positions, such as critiquing Bukele yet defending carrot-and-stick logic in “Longe de mim defender o Bukele, mas…” and acknowledging pros and cons of car weight taxation in “Alguns pontos: 1. A ideia não é ruim…”.
Weaknesses:
- Harshly-contemptuous: Uses derisive language toward others, e.g. suggesting “carbonato de lítio” for someone’s tweet in “tenho a leve impressão que carbonato de lítio ajuda a resolver” and thanking a commentator for a “stupid post” in “Thank you for your stupid post.”.
- Polarizing: Frames disagreements in strongly antagonistic terms, like saying a certain account “deserves to be banned” for fomenting ressentiment in “essa conta merece ser banida…” and showing open “nojo a golpista” in “o nojo a golpista continua na gente”.
- Elitist-leaning: Sometimes writes from a position of intellectual superiority, criticizing commentators’ tones and basic takes (e.g. mocking “takes sobre GEOPOLÍTICA que me dão até pena” in “vejo uns takes sobre GEOPOLÍTICA que me dão até pena” and attacking a presenter’s tone in “Ela usa aquele registro típico de ‘sei MUITO algo que você não sabe’”).
- Cynically-pessimistic: Expresses deep disillusionment with politics and norms, such as saying contemporary politics makes political nihilism inevitable in “torna o niilismo político inevitável” and describing total distrust in Rio politics in “Estou num nível de descrença com a política carioca…”.
- Insular-communicator: Frequently references specialized debates and in-group concepts (orthodoxy vs. heterodoxy, IR realism, specific Brazilian policy disputes) with minimal context, as in “Ok, segunda thread que faço sobre um tema que não entendo nada além de 'modelos básicos'…” and “Political ideas don't have to be reconcilable with any methodology…”, which can be hard for lay readers to follow.
Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
This user most closely matches Lisa Simpson, combining academic intensity, moral concern, and a constant urge to correct bad arguments. They’re a PhD student in politics with strong opinions on methodology and orthodoxy, as seen when they say that being orthodox 'allows me to prove myself wrong' while criticizing others for never challenging their own school of thought in “Sou ortodoxo, sou libertário (sim, eu sei) e, mesmo assim, tenho artigo ortodoxo mostrando que MST reduz escravidão no campo.”. Like Lisa, they oscillate between normative idealism and disillusionment, worrying about democracy and political morality in “informações sobre a democracia é essencial” and “a política contemporânea... torna o niilismo político inevitável”. They also show a nerdy enthusiasm for theory and papers, such as “Reposting this paper because I've been thinking a lot about this lately.” and “Amazing paper on religion and politics. Highly recommended...”. At the same time, they have sharp, sometimes cutting hot takes—critiquing media tone in “o tom da apresentadora... gera antipatia gratuita” and mocking bad geopolitics analysis in “vejo uns takes sobre GEOPOLÍTICA que me dão até pena”—which fits Lisa’s pedantic, exasperated side. Their mix of cosmopolitan liberal ideals (“multicultural liberalism as the most beautiful utopia ever devised”) and constant frustration with how the world actually works is quintessentially Lisa.
Your MBTI personality Type
ENTJ
They lean Extrovert (E): they openly narrate being at crowded events and enjoying public life, e.g. carnival and shows like “Cheguei cedo porque ia ter Xand Avião…” and “Dá um certo quentinho por dentro ir em show brasileiro em NYC…”, and they seek an audience for “hot takes” and threads. They are clearly Intuitive (N): most tweets are about abstract political theory, models and meta-level analysis, such as “Political ideas don't have to be reconcilable with any methodology…” and long threads on geopolitics like “ATENÇÃO: Primeiro hot take dessa minha nova fase no twitter…”. Their style is strongly Thinking (T): they emphasize logical consistency and methodology over sentiment, saying things like “Ortodoxia é um método e me permite me provar errado.” and critiquing others for poor inference in “Simplesmente insano cientistas políticos profissionais fazerem ilações sobre pesquisas…”. They lean Judging (J): they present structured threads (“1. Vamos falar de como o serviço público no Brasil…”), make clear strategic evaluations of states and actors like “VENEZUELA CAIU: O QUE O BRASIL DEVE FAZER? Thread abaixo.”, and frequently assess what governments should do. Overall, the combination of assertive, often blunt public argumentation, focus on systems and strategy, and organized analytical threads aligns best with ENTJ rather than more reserved NT types.
Some pickup lines for you
- You said you’re orthodox, libertarian, and still wrote a paper showing the MST reduces slavery. Since you like testing your own priors, how about we run a small experiment: you bring the hot takes, I bring the datasets, and we see if ‘us’ is statistically significant?
- You’re worried about a power vacuum in Venezuela, I’m worried about the vacuum in my DMs from you. Given your IR threads, what’s the probability of a mutually beneficial bilateral agreement over coffee?
- As someone who gets emotional seeing a ‘sem anistia’ chant at a Brazilian show in NYC, and who’s proud to come from a family where a Jewish man married an Arab woman, you’re basically my favorite kind of cosmopolitan: normatively serious, empirically nerdy, and secretly romantic. Can I apply to be your next improbable coalition?
- You don’t tolerate territorial competition with the State, but I’m ready to let you occupy 100% of my mental map. Think of it as a friendly annexation: no militias, just game theory, Mediterranean trips, and us arguing about Realism in IR over wine.
- You say EVERYTHING is a psyop these days, so consider this my covert operation: Phase 1 – reference your hatred of Dinizismo; Phase 2 – invite you to watch a game and hate-watch him together; Phase 3 – you realize the real strategic alliance was the friends we made along the match.

Your signature cocktail
The Hot Take Highball
This drink starts with cachaça for his Brazilian roots and carnival-politics vibe, the same guy who can complain that "O carnaval em SP vai morrer por incompetência do governo." and still sound like he’s tweeting from the middle of a bloco. Dry vermouth adds a sharp, academic edge for the PhD student in political science who revisits papers and threads about theory, like when he says "Reposting this paper because I've been thinking a lot about this lately.". A slug of amaro brings bitterness and moral seriousness for the guy who finds contemporary politics’ moral collapse so intense that "o niilismo político é inevitável" and who jokes that "Absolutamente TUDO é uma psyop hoje em dia.". Grapefruit soda lightens it up and matches his mix of sardonic humor and optimism, as when he’s half-apologizing that "Eu saio de férias, paro de monitorar a situação e Trump bombardeia o Irã.". Finally, a dash of smoked salt nods to his libertarian-orthodox flavor and constant geopolitical hot takes, from threads on Iran–Israel escalation "meu primeiro hot take dessa minha nova fase no twitter" to arguing about militias and state capacity in Rio "Não dá pra tolerar competição com o Estado em domínio territorial.".
Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
The strongest throughline in Jamil’s profile is an intellectual, analytical orientation rather than a primarily moralistic or power‑seeking one, which is very Ravenclaw. He repeatedly centers method and rigor over tribal identity, e.g. in defending orthodoxy as a method that lets him prove himself wrong while criticizing others for not challenging their own priors: “Ortodoxia é um método e me permite me provar errado. Agora, nunca vi heterodoxo discordando das policies de sua escola convenientemente escolhida.”. He openly frames his own interventions as bringing basic IR and political‑science concepts to clarify messy debates, like when he considers doing threads “trazendo discussões de RI de graduação pra clarificar conceitos” to combat bad geopolitics takes: “Acho que vou começar mesmo a fazer umas threads trazendo discussões de RI de graduação pra clarificar conceitos.”. His timeline is full of engagement with papers and formal models, such as recommending an “amazing paper on religion and politics” and connecting it to citizen‑candidate models: “Amazing paper on religion and politics. Highly recommended to anyone interested also in local politics and citizen candidate models.”. Even his hot takes usually dissect assumptions and incentives—like his multi‑point breakdown of a weight‑based car tax, where he separates lethality, pollution, revenue effects, and normative aims: “Alguns pontos: 1. A ideia não é ruim em si... 2. Isso reduz a arrecadação... 3. Nem todo imposto deve focar em redistribuição.”. While he clearly has strong political and moral views, the dominant pattern is a love of theory, method, and conceptual clarity, which fits Ravenclaw more than the other houses.

Your song
The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan
A politically engaged PhD student who posts 'hot takes' and detailed threads on international relations and Brazilian politics fits the reflective, critical spirit of The Times They Are A-Changin'. They constantly analyze geopolitical shifts and power struggles, as in their Venezuela thread: “VENEZUELA CAIU: O QUE O BRASIL DEVE FAZER? Thread abaixo. A captura de Maduro hoje muda tudo na Venezuela.”. Their skepticism toward both left and right, but commitment to norms and institutions, appears in reflections like “O fato da política contemporânea estar convergindo para tolerância da mais absoluta imoralidade do in group torna o niilismo político inevitável.”. The song’s call for intellectual honesty and adaptation to changing times mirrors their methodological stance in tweets such as “Ortodoxia é um método e me permite me provar errado.”. Finally, their mix of cynicism and hope for a better political order—seen when they say “I totally realize I’m old when I acknowledge multicultural liberalism as the most beautiful utopia ever devised.”—matches Dylan’s blend of warning and idealism.
