7 LEVELS OF INTP

㊙️ 道可道 非常道

level one INTP: when i was a child, i thought i was an idiot - the world didn't make any sense to me, but i was told "you'll understand when you get older" - although i did explore internally, i had every question rebuffed and i figured i'd "try again later" - although, for example, i remember being five years old, standing on a wooden stool in front of the bathroom sink, staring into the mirror, trying to look inside myself, and i came to the realization that i was a robot that looked exactly like a human, and or functionally indistinguishable from a robot who looked exactly like a human

level two INTP: as i got older i thought there was some trove of knowledge that every "adult" knew and someday someone would "clue me in" - my family was highly religious, but their religion didn't make any sense to me, i would ask questions like, "if god is all powerful, why does it need worshipers ?" - "especially when it doesn't say anywhere in the bible that you have to go to church every sunday" - and stuff like that, i was expected to take their responses at face-value, like "we worship god out of appreciation, to show respect" but that didn't make any sense to me either - but i figured that was because i was still too young and idiotic

level three INTP: eventually i had my first epiphany - nobody gives a shit about my feelings or my questions, so shut the fuck up and earn money and have fun - this worked amazingly for about ten years - the world generally still didn't make any sense beyond my specific interests, but i still figured that someone would come along at some point and clue me in - or at least one of my friends would figure it all out and let me know

level four INTP: after watching a movie "waking life" i got a little obsessed with a question presented in the film, "do you think more people are motivated by greed or fear ?" - this question kept rattling around for a few months and i started to see greed and fear everywhere, everything seemed so simple, then i met a friend of a friend and for the first time, they answered my questions with MORE QUESTIONS about my questions - and i had answers and they had answers and even though we had just met, i felt like the universe just exploded - we talked until the sun came up - and i thought i had a new best friend - but the next week when i went back to talk some more, they had no comments, it was like they'd reverted back to a "normie" and when i asked my friend, what the hell happened, they told me "oh, you just caught them when they were really really drunk last time and they get really talkative when they're drunk" - anyway - a bunch of stuff happened after that - i had like a hundred epiphanies, maybe two or three a day for weeks on end, culminating in "the event" - which was basically a rebirth - i now "knew what was going on" - finally

level five INTP: now that i knew everything, of course, i wanted to tell everyone, and i do mean everyone - but i kept running into roadblocks - so i figured i just needed to organize my thoughts, you know systemize the path, build a bridge from "normie town" to "omverata" - or multiples bridges - like maybe a hundred or two hundred bridges - but of course i needed to start somewhere, so i wrote a seven part "theory of human behavior" - and people liked it, but it didn't have the effect i was expecting - and my closest friends and family members told me i really needed to shut the fuck up because i was scaring people and they thought i was trying to become some kind of cult leader or something - which is basically the opposite of what i was trying to do - but i eventually shut the fuck up

level six INTP: i just waited, reverted back to earn money and have fun - but every once in a while, i'd meet someone who had an idea they thought was interesting, but there was always some limit - i figured out that there were "unspoken rules" to conversation that most people would only mention after they had "reached their limit" - this is where i re-evaluated MBTI - and i identified myself as INTP - and i discovered that INTP and ENTP love to debate and don't generally lean in any particular political or philosophical direction - so i joined debate.org - and learned a lot about formal debate - and the limits and logical contradictions of the format - so i fixed those - but only a few people were interested in fixing formal debate - but i still found a few people interested in informal debate who generally intuitively followed the three rules of civil debate - i thought i had finally "found the others" - but one by one they became "black-pilled" and stopped talking, stopped exploring ideas, at least externally - we'd hit some topic and they'd eject themselves from the interaction - INTPs are "big game", very introspective and very difficult to get talking and even harder to convince of anything because they've usually mapped out their own personal "framework" in great detail (often with inscrutable special language) - and this ejecting from the conversation thing was frustrating, but i still had a small handful of interlocutors - and adjusted my goal to find - one logiczombie per year - and i was meeting that target

level seven INTP: i figured out that mass communication, a book, a movie, a show, is never going to achieve what i'm looking for - at BEST you end up with a "cult of personality" which might develop into a religion or a quasi-religion - and plenty of people have done that already and it doesn't work - i'm not "the" logiczombie, i'm simply "a" logiczombie - i have no unique or special abilities or talents or status of any kind - i just have an idea - so then i figured out that one-on-one communication is the only option here - and humans can only know, or only have even the slightest chance to "know" maybe four people in their entire lifetime - so, i'd like to find four, and turn that into a four-way-conversation, but first things first, i need to find one - and as a side-note, i now understand why people who reach this level often eject from the conversation - people only value things they "discover" "on their own" "at their own pace" - so i need to follow someone, be receptive, test them gently, and wait
