Hello fellow INTPs (and those whom find us interesting),
Upon being introduced to the MBTI about a year ago, I found that my overall perception of human interaction evolved radically. Subsequently, this also shattered most of the foundational aspects of how I construct my perceived reality. Thusly, after a year of existential turmoil, I decided to try to find people who think like me, as most people I know have labeled me into the "space cadet" category.
Mostly, though, I've found a growing intolerance for mindless drivel, or, well, anything based upon a sensory experience. I simply find these activites and discussions boring. I don't care what Rhianna is wearing, though I do like exploring why it is people like it - the problem is most people are not proficient in describing functions of color theory/form/texture and simply amount things like "like and dislike". Furthermore, I am pursuing my education at a Conservatory and thusly deal with heinous amounts of interaction with SJ types. Ultimately there are very few people around who understand me, let alone the people who can successfully communicate back to me.
While my initial struggles with this social exclusion have been painful, my existence is shifting much more into my Introversion. Foundationally I believe that we live in a lie of the senses and that many people experience these senses as perceptions. Of course, we need not be restricted by such folly, as the brain can see, hear, and manipulate things that do not exist in front of us. Scientificaly, even, humans have come to accept that our senses are limited to a spectrum of human existence. This Human Sensation then, which I reject as arrogance (when taking the form of 'this is what we sense, and reality is only what our senses tell us) then my very intellectual foundation is hinged apart from the very thing that allows most people to function without being overwhelmed by the infinite. Here is an excerpt from some of my philosophical ramblings:
Sense: Then, answer me at least, what did you see of that marble if you talk any truth?
Perception: I did not see the marble at all. I saw the shadow of a sphere
which became a planet which became a water droplet falling from a fountain, surrounded by droplets of its like - all falling and becoming one in the fountain’s basin.
Anyway, for those of you who care less about my philosophical ramblings here's a list of things about me.
Name: Tom
Age: Physically 21, almost 22.
Education: Engineering (2 Years) Opera (2 years, ongoing)
Hobbies:
~Instruments (Clarinet, Sax, Oboe, Flute, Guitar, Piano)
~Composition (Neo-Romantic, Mystic, Exploratory)
~Improvisation as a vessel of the subconsious
~Visual Art (Color Theory, Form, Implied Form/Line, Abstraction as Poetry)
~Languages (Spanish, basic: German, Italian, French)
~Linguistics (especially applications of declentions)
~Math (especially sacred geometry/ratios, calculus, and the implication of math as Logic upon various phiosophical ponderings)
~Philosophy
~Poetry (especially Phisolophy as Poetry)
~Gaming (especially deconstructing battle systems/balance; perhaps I enjoy this more than actually playing the game)
Favorite Animals:
~Red Pandas
~Dolphins (imagine the perception of a Dolphin. Try it. Turn in a circle and represent your sensory input as a wireframe. Construct this wireframe in its entirety in your head until you can freely rotate/manipulate it. Upons this hightened sense of space, imagine if this was your default input and how powerful the Dophin's processor must be)
~Dogs (one of the few things that peg me into this sensory existence...but they're so cute =D)
Quirks:
~Chronic Anxiety
~OCD (manifest through compulsive thought patterns)
~ex: When driving, I instinctively see cars as force diagrams and plot their route and all possible routes, detecting a plethora of possible collisions at any given time. This makes driving rather unpleasant.
~Body Alignment (I do this all the time, it grants me solace in this world as the concentration needed to realign the spine and remove subconsious tension from the body is immense. Also, by unlocking these places in the body, I have unlocked more areas to relate to information allowing more space to map complex processes to more specific bodily sensations. Full body alignement is thusly a mysic experience for me that verges on the infinite of the subconsious)
Well, this self-indulgent post went on far too long. If anybody is interested enough to read the post in its entirety, I applaud you.

Been noticing a lot of grammar and spelling nazis around.
My dorkery knows no bounds. I seriously considered the irony of these sentences. I suppose the average person might not assume to find much pontification on the general lack of vocabulary in today's society. However, it's not ironic here given the context of the INTP forum itself. It's not unexpected to find a linguistically oriented INTP who might discuss at extreme length the western world's reduction in the application of complex vocabulary.
