This is it. I've finally ascended.

Life makes sense.

evolutionary psychology is a trap and can be used to claim essentially anything and then shut down all opposition because "shut up this is natural".

we cant know for a fact that we like landscapes because of our evolutionary environment, even though its plausible but you cant concretely prove it and many esthetical styles have nothing to do with what would be useful to primitive man. all cultures have persisted in their arrogance in thinking that their understanding of the world is 95% complete and that the rest would be figured out in the span of a few years, this including the 21st century techno-elite.

INTJ isn't about mathematics or even logic; that's INTP's thing.

Launch physicalists into the Purple Sun of mysterianism. Stir fry physicalists in a wok. Toss physicalists into active volcanoes of continental philosophy. Urinate on physicalist peer-reviewed articles. Judo throw physicalists into a wood chipper of phenomenology. Twist physicalist heads off. Report physicalists to the Witch-hunters of the Vatican Observatory. Karate chop physicalists in half. Curb stomp pregnant physicalists. Trap physicalists in quicksand of hard problem arguments. Crush physicalists in the trash compactor of Chalmers' zombie thought experiment. Liquefy physicalists in a vat of acid qualia. EAT physicalists. Dissect physicalists. Exterminate physicalists in the gas chamber of inverted spectrum scenarios. Stomp physicalist skulls with steel-toed boots of Cartesian certainty. Cremate physicalists in the oven of dualist tradition. Lobotomize physicalists. Mandatory abortions for physicalist thought experiments.
