I would say a lot of it correct... excluding the slideshow of all these mega-geniuses I'm allegedly supposed to be in affinity with
The way hub & I have always interacted, we both are intellectual-types and listen to a lot of conversations related to thinking. We still talk a lot by text (when we're not together) so have a continuous IM conversation that documents everything. I'm heavily into documenting conversations and also keeping photos and text conversations active so that there is a "thread" I can to go back to. We're always talking about "what this actually means" when covering current events and reconnecting it back to knowledge and experiences we were bestowed when younger.
As for "out there" thinking, while I try to limit my listening to propaganda (because it's corrosive mentally and emotionally), I do try to listen to enough to where it's "useful" to get a flavor of what motivates people who both make the propaganda and also the type of people who listen to it. I'm much more interested in seeing how other people interact than their interactions with me per say. If I find a good "follower" story (people who heavily into something and form a cohesive ideology), I tend to love to follow those to some extent.
Speaking to your other thread about how others
might perceive me, I do worry about one thing, that some people might think I'm more involved in myself than what they have to say at times. I think it's just because of how I construct my thinking around observations, so I have to be careful... not to immediately respond to everything "omg you just said Y, I'm very interested in Y!"... without going into an open wikipedia mode with that person.
Anyway, I think if these tests are useful for one thing, they get us to self-diagnose our own neurosis for the enjoyment of others
So there
is that.
