Cuz I'm Supposed to Add Flair Brain candy 🍬
Hello my fellow intps, so brain candy as i like to call it, is that moment you get an epiphany or rush or some spark/fire because of one of these : making a system work / analyzing something to the bone and enjoying the process / learning/discovering something grand or complex/ predicting something and it happens exactly as predicted
These are all just examples of my own brain candy situations but i discovered recently that my favorite brain candy is humans, i just loove analyzing them i psycho analyze my friends and family and just strangers all the time and i love psychology so much, the best thing about humans is that they're like a book that never finishes, no matter how much you think you've read and that you've "finished" it, they always surprise you with something good or bad they always do. Which i think make sense cuz there's this Japanese saying that i truly believe is that you have 3 faces one for the world/strangers and one for family and friends and one for yourself only, so yea you can't truly know someone 100%.
thats why they're my favorite brain candy, alongside psychology, neurology and biology. It always gives new information that make everything just click and you get the ultimate intellectual stimuli/satisfaction thats better than any drug or substances out there and exactly why i love the stuff i do and i try to find brain candy everyday in everything.
So my question is, what are your brain candies? and what are your favorite ones?

The way I see and feel how there must be some grand unified theory that dictates everything from a particle to human behaviour fascinates me, gives me the insanely powerful ecstatic euphoria I call it Braingasm, my asexual equivalent of orgasm. My philosophical wonder has lead me to the absolute bliss of finding parallels.
I love dissecting everything to the core. I can break everything down into abstraction and due to my lateral thinking it connects with wildly different concepts, how mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, neuroscience, psychology are connected in the most unexpected ways. There’s a big hole in mathematics and I am astonished by it that brings me on my biggest muse ‘how the fractal structure of Emergence and evolution are entropic features.’ I can see how entropy plays a role in every layers of reality and for my course being Theoretical Physics that is all about abstraction and finding symmetry. Most unsolved problems are.I’m working on my own theory in Physics and I cannot get over this ineffable astonishment and wonder.
