Pic only lightly relatedAre there any books, either philosophical, psychological, sociological, etc, that get to the categorization of different human mental "types"?For example, I have noticed when discussing ideas/information with people, there are several different modes some of them fall into, roughly speaking. This is distinct from what they actually believe:1. "Rational/deductive": They're taking the information and treating it as part of an implied deductive/logical chain, trying to determine the implications given their prior beliefs. This is typically what most intellectual/public debate is at least intended to mimic.2. "Impressionistic": They're taking the surface impression of the idea/information itself, separately from any implied deductive chain, and providing information on their intuitive reaction. The purpose of the discussion, from their point of view, is to share intuitive impressions and there is no meta-conversational context or structure.3. "Analogical": They're taking the information/idea and mapping it onto a suitable analogy or parable, for example, "this is the land of the free" or "god works in mysterious ways." That is not to say that everyone who uses analogies falls into this category, but this is their primary way of reaching conclusions or reacting to unknown information.This categorization is not exhaustive and is likely shit, but I hope it at least gives a sense of what I'm hoping to find more rigorously treated in some literary or philosophical works. I am starting to think that, despite the proclivity of many educated people to reason in a deductive-rational style (regardless of viewpoint), this does not represent the overwhelming majority of psychological processes for how people typically process information. Essentially, I am realizing that so called "stupid" people are not simply "slower" than smart people (they may still be, but it is not the full explanation of the issue), but that what they call "reason" may be a completely different process.
>>24917672>Pic only lightly relatedGood, because it's superstitious nonsense. Relying on a magical number like "7" is a dead giveaway.

>>24917675Yeah, ideally I'd have a non-retarded version of picrel. In the absence of rigorous material, it sadly seems like this type of nonsense is all that is being produced>>24917677Actually? I will read this in german if so, but I'd appreciate more explanation on how it relates to the OP I was looking for this sort of information in the attached pic, but haven't had much success with a "global" view, not just a particular society or type of person
>>24917672Just read Law of One by Ra.
>>24917672Wasn't that invented by a youtuber?
>>24917696hegel literally called it the science of consciousness
>>24917675It's woke nonsense in which the percentages add up to 111.1% and the axiom is that the more you are a woke liberal, the higher you are in spiritual development. Converting to pantheism and sensing divinity in cow poop and rotting corpses like an Aghori Hindu is required for the last stage, because that is the theoretical maximum amount of tolerance someone can have.

>>24917672Schopenhauer + Jung
>>24918141>roughlyI agree with your central point but the author is clearly and explicitly using rough estimates
>>24918141>doesn’t see the divinity in cow poop and corpsesngmi and couldn't be me lmao
>>24918141Yeah, I stopped reading at "egalitarianism".
>>24917672Pic related is the clearest exposition of the Eight Circuit Theory developed by Timothy Leary. Leary was a druggie and a hippy, but he was also influential in psychology.Leary conceived of a sequence of 8 mental faculties (or "circuits") ranging from basic bodily survival to nibbana-like transcendence. These circuits have to be activated in strict order. The higher ones are only latent in the vast majorty of people.As well as explaining the nature of each circuit, the book offers tips on how to activate them - often involving drugs, but legal methods are covered too.If you want to learn about the theory on hard mode, try Exo-Psychology, or The Game of Life, both by Leary himself.
