I wrote some long explanation but accidentally clicked on a link and lost it. Oh well. You are still doing the thing. It might be beneficial for you to learn about the range and types of functional thought that exist in various personalities.

Someone that is very abstracted in functional thought can be one of the outliers that is difficult for some to understand. I’m driven by curiosity, but comfortable relying on intuition heavily. I think in something like a statistical space without absolutes of right and wrong, just probabilities and contexts. I’m motivated by curiosity and exploration in many contexts. My emotions are disconnected from this space of curious exploration.

When I put the pieces together to state WW3 is very likely, I’m in a mindset like watching Magnus Carlson play a game of chess and making educated predictions about how he will play the next 3 moves. I am not playing the game and I have no emotional investment like the opposing player. You could ask me how I feel, but that is not part of my default thought process.
