Brian, I feel totally validated - thank you I gave myself a
   'crash course' in ... well, wherever 'everything' took me - and
   in the process, I remember thinking, "Ok, what's the deal with
   this paradox thing?" and ended up finding myself smack dab into
   the excluded middle thing and I was like. THERE YOU ARE, YOU
   SOB!

   Joined a Philosophy forum to confirm my suspicions and in the
   process, learned to comprehend and even win with INTJ both on
   their terms and on my own INFP terms. Good experience.

   I still don't have all my terminologies right. But I'm getting
   better at finding "existing" descriptives for concepts. My
   resistance of "I AM NOT A LABEL" runs deep.. and properly
   categorizing my own thought processes has been difficult.

   I want to be able to stand up on a stage in front of 7 billion
   ppl and be able to say with full truth and authenticity: "I am a
   fan of embodied cognition" (which is true - and there are other
   words I can use for myself) and stand by it, be able to justify
   it, etc. Things like that. I decided, I'm going _really know_
   what I'm getting into before dedicating to self-label.

   I want to take it out of the realm of academic debates on forums
   and be able to stand tall and proud of my beliefs. Not knowing
   what they are, it's been a good self-discovery process.
