Using ChatGPT to further analyze what I wrote just there: its ability to “abstract” is very nice. “Skepticism could be abstracted as a theme of critical thinking or questioning authority. Enjoyment could be abstracted as a theme of finding value or pleasure in experiences. Analysis could be abstracted as a theme of examining and understanding information or experiences. Synthesis could be abstracted as a theme of combining and integrating ideas or experiences. The retention of multiple perspectives could be abstracted as a theme of considering different viewpoints or holding on to diverse experiences.

“Skepticism could be abstracted as a theme of critical thinking or questioning authority.

Enjoyment could be abstracted as a theme of finding value or pleasure in experiences.

The way I separate the functionality is timing.
“At this time: I will enjoy myself”
then later on
“At this time now, I will enjoy analyzing what I enjoyed before from a different point of view”
then later on
“Now I will try to synthesize the two”.

But I don’t end up with one thing at the end: I end up with three: the enjoyable time, the critiquing time, the compromise time and it gives me 3 pov to further compare/contrast.

 I’ve been in a process of dismantling my idols for years; been hard in some cases. What survives that’s good survives and I accept the dirt with the shine but I will call it dirt if it’s dirt; an attempt of an honest approach at things.
But I allow the magic to come in the first time around. I suspend my disbelief when they tell me the story the right way that I like, when they surprise me in the right ways, play the right notes in my psyche .Then after the ride is over and I’ve had the happy, I’ll put the happy in a safe space in the brain to retrieve at will and introduce the negative nellie who will pour the sour milk into anything and see what it can find. It can’t affect the good stuff I had, but it allows me to task switch as needed”
