Episode Synopsis

Today we’ll discuss how the same thing from different perspectives might as well be an entirely different thing, and how the possibilities of human experience are infinite, even for a person with a seemingly boring life. Most humans fall into the trap of thinking their experience is too small, or not enough, and this is unsatisfying to them. INTPs, on the other hand, see intricate complexities all around us, and our dissatisfaction comes from the sense of being overwhelmed by it all, and rather than having that sense of boredom or things not being enough, we get overwhelmed by how infinite everything is. We want to understand everything, but we know that is impossible in the span of a human life. The INTP perspective is valuable and unique in that way. We can help others see possibilities where they see nothing, and others can help us narrow our view a little bit so we can actually accomplish something concrete and tangible, rather than being scattered all over the place, jumping around between different technical issues each day that we happen to be interested in.
