I'm new to this typology stuff but I find it fascinating. My type (INTP)explains so many questions and frustrations I've had my entire life. Why I never seem to fit in because I feel different from others. Why I seem distant socially. Why I have this deep respect and love for astronomy as well as science, technology, aliens, and conspiracy theories. Why I get bored and annoyed from everyday crap like small talk. Why I can never explain whats going on in my head to others in a sensible way. etc. I hate that last one with a passion.

Needed to get that off my chest since no around me understands at all.

Here's my question.

Does anyone else think about systems a lot? More specifically living, organic systems. I can't stop, the stuff intrigues me as much as it frustrates me. One of the things I like to delve into is the idea that we as a society are slaves to the dollar bill. How the government controls us with it. I wonder then "well someones gotta be telling the government what to do, who though?" There would have to be an elite select few people behind the curtains controlling things. I wonder who they are and what are there plans but without emotion. I simply just want to know because I'm curious. I see how all of this works in my head very clearly but I cant put it into words :(

Does anyone out there get it?

EDIT: I ask because I feel very strongly that not applying these "skills" towards some type of career would be a waste. The problem is I don't know what type of career that would be without guidance and I can't seek guidance if I can't explain whats going on in my head. I'm tired of wasting time, all I want is to find out what it is I would exceed at while being able to use and apply my thoughts and ideas. Then I want to get out there accomplish it.

What it specifically? :D

Democratic governments are controlled by the people in a general sense, they'll elect whoever is perceived to be more capable of improving their living standards (regardless of any other considerations) whereas actual policies are controlled by the politicians, who in turn answer to various corporate investors, who in turn answer to stakeholders.

maybe you're onto something... I know the conspiracy theorists think that there already exists such a group... a.k.a. "The Illuminati" or the "New World Order" if you wanna google it;

have you seen Fight Club (the movie) but I found out it was first written as a book (like most good stories)?

I think you would enjoy the themes explored in Fight Club, but it is a rather dark movie so be prepared! one of my faves;

Fight club is one of my favorites as well! It is a bit dark but I feel it helps get the point across more efficiently.

I like how you went

Organic Systems-Government Conspiracy-Career Path

with your question without offering any of the connections, just expecting it to be obvious.


People look at me funny when I do things like that, but trying to explain it all ends up with too many details and people bored and lost. Alas.
