The Deep Current
You think in structures. Most people feel their way through a situation. You want to understand the mechanism first.
You're not cold, you're precise. When something happens, your instinct is to locate it: in psychology, in history, in what you know about how people actually work rather than how they say they work.
You find comfort in frameworks, but you're not rigid. A framework is only useful until a better one comes along. You hold them lightly.
The questions that stick with you aren't usually about what to think. They're about why thinking happens the way it does.
The field this type leans toward in the app is philosophy. Your house of thought starts with that room lit.
