In this video I'm going to cover the instinct or "psychosis-hylomorphism" Abstractum.
Abstractum means "drawn away" and refers to the drawing away from the concrete to the abstract; to reflection, deepening, and digesting of experiences and ideas.
I have given Abstractum the alternative name Meditationem which does mean "reflection" or "contemplation."
Abstractum is the most impartial and hidden psychosis-hylomorphism, which is connected with their diverted mental quality and energy for going into depth, seeking substance, and having great patience.
So that's the central thing, as I see it, for the Abstractum-energy: to provide the organism of humanity with a function that assures reflection, objectivity, and more profound substance.
Behind this interest lies also a drive or desire for no demands, time to think, and economic precision,
making it strange to use words like "energy," "drive," and "desire" to describe Abstractum which is the most physically passive and energy lacking psychosis-hylomorphism that often LACK desire.
With Exitium secondary in the configuration, however, they can become more aggressive, satirical, and more resemble Magnitudinem-individuals.
Abstractum has the following two weaknesses:
the first weakness is precisely that its energy for contemplation and substance comes at the expense of physical energy, capacity for expression, and worldly desires.
Since I myself am Abstractum primary, I can confirm that that's how it is, and it took me a long time to find what I wanted or what I even could contribute with to society.
If you look at my videos, especially these about types, and note the contrast between me and the examples I display,
you can probably see and hear that I'm more monotonous, expressionless, and lacking in energy than other types.
I have to push myself and make more effort to be heard, I must use scripts to not be too slow.
Abstractum-individuals feel socially inferior, more than Fiduciam or Magnitudinem do, feel that they are not in a particularly good position in life, and people's demands become too much for them.
Their first strategy is to adapt as well as possible in order to avoid conflicts, and the other is to simply avoid people and the world's demands as much as possible through isolation and reduction of needs.
The reason why Abstractum-individuals do not go directly to isolation is because people are, after all, dependent on each other, which is particularly true of Abstractum who has difficulty performing physical work.
However, they can live longer with less than other types.
I should add, though, that Abstractum has more intuition and trust in their own intellect than Magnitudinem, so just like Fiduciam they can feel intellectually superior, and do not want to admit weaknesses.
They feel that they can only rely on themselves, are the most introverted, and thus feel independent.
So if you ask an Abstractum if they feel inferior or weak, they will almost never answer yes.
They are often not aware of their feeling of social inferiority and lack of energy until they end up in social situations.
And if they avoid social situations to avoid demands and lack of substance, they sometimes forget how inferior they can feel.
The second weakness is that their capacity for depth and objectivity are supported by a sensitivity and fragility to prevent total indifference or unconcerened comfort.
They often look small, soft and delicate in appearance, which makes them easily infantilized by others who often assume a big brother, big sister, or parenting role for them, and thus do not take them seriously.
Abstractum is, just as Fiduciam, one of the two least destructive human types in society.
But the feeling of not fitting in, the frustration with people's superficiality and lack of substance, the inability to be taken seriously or be able to accomplish things,
as well as people's incomprehensible demands, incomprehensible ideals, and destructive stupidities, can make Abstractum-individuals into misanthropic haters of humanity who avoid society like the plague.
This avoidance and invisibility contribute to societal deterioration since their presence and example are needed in the world, just like the other wisdom types in the Sapientiam-sphere.
They must reconcile themselves with their sense of inferiority, passivity, and lack of energy that they wish to conceal,
and have the courage to talk about their own situation by getting to know themselves correctly and show the world that they exist.
Finding examples of Abstractum-individuals, who are the most invisible human types, is not as easy as with other types.
But once they actually show up, they can become famous and significant individuals in history.
No teacher thought highly of Albert Einstein in his early life, and unless the opportunity had revealed itself, Einstein could easily have remained an obscure patent office worker.
Einstein was not a unique type of human like many believe.
There exist and have always existed people with Einstein's potential.
But no one knows about them because they live and die as passive spectators at the outside of society. Invisible. Not interested. Waiting for the world to figure out what they already know.
Abstractum-types can often be perceived as people with mediocre or even low IQ by their surroundings, as high IQ is associated with having many talents, adaptability, and success in life.
Einstein did not impress his teachers. From elementary school all the way through university, his teacher thought that he was lazy, sloppy and disobedient.
One of his teachers in Greek insisted that "nothing will ever become of you."
He himself thought that the strict German education was intimidating and dull.
He managed to avoid military service by abolishing his citizenship in Württemberg.
One of his friends had to help him get a job at the patent office, where he remained in third class.
In his letter of application to university, he wrote that his ambition was to become a teacher dealing with theory, as he considered abstract thinking and mathematics to be his strength, and that he lacked imagination and practical ability.
He has also said of himself that, "It's not that I'm so smart , it's just that I stay with problems longer."
And "I am not a genius, I am just curious."
His university grades were lower than average, except in those subjects that interested him, which is a common theme for Abstractum-individuals.
They also do not like being considered talented, because then people have expectations of them.
At the same time, they do not want to be judged for never doing anything with their lives. Abstractum-individuals want to be invisible as much as possible, since they regard invisibility as freedom.
Freedom from demands, and freedom from judgments.
Abstractum is, so to speak, the "child" in the Sapientiam-sphere, so they have less discipline and more rebelliousness or avoidance than Magnitudinem,
and because they are on the side of raw nature, they are also not idealistic like Fiduciam.
If Einstein showed idealistic tendencies, it's because he had Meritum secondary, which, together with Urbanum,
can make Abstructum-individuals resemble Fiduciam with more humor, expressiveness, idealism, and broader interests.
It is possible that Einstein's first wife, Mileva Maric, also was Abstractum, since Einstein had written in letters that she was "an unfriendly, humorless creature."
Abstractum-individuals can be humorless and not show much affection,
and despite Mileva's intelligence which made her at that time become something so rare as a female student in a physics education for men, nothing ever became of her career.
Even if restrictions on women's possibilities may have contributed to her not getting further, this is a pattern that can also be observed among Abstractum-men who often disappear after their school years.
Einstein was a creative, intelligent and low-key person with a soft-spoken voice who preferred solitude and to immerse himself in elaborate constructions and thought problems over social interactions.
He seemed distant for many, as his concentration lay in his work. Einstein always felt misplaced at social meetings and with friends and family.
He later said that a glass field existed between him and other people. He even felt like a stranger among his own family and preferred solitude.
Nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer said that Einstein as a person was almost wholly without sophistication, and wholly without worldliness.
There was always with him a wonderful purity at once childlike and profoundly stubborn.
It is common for Abstractum-individuals to be regarded as uncomplicated, friendly, sweet, and ordinary, like film director David Lynch who's been called by his co-workers the most normal person they've met.
Similar things have been said about Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick was a quiet and friendly director, not someone who shouted at people.
Even as a leader or in a position of power they take nothing for granted, because they do not want to make demands on others, and it's as if they want to say to their coworkers, "Thank you for doing this for me."
Very sensitive, choose people who suit their roles so the actors can be themselves. In that way, they do not have to control or place too much demands on or bother their actors.
Since they themselves are sensitive to demands, they assume that others are also sensitive to demands.
This makes them very patient during their lives and works, and also flexible.
Trying to be plain, simple, and mild is also a way to not stand out, to become invisible or discreet through adaptive camouflage.
But unlike other human types that may also appear normal, such as the good neighbor Corpus, Abstractum-individuals are drawn to and fascinated by the darker and dirtier sides of humanity.
David Lynch said that the time he lived in Philadelphia after marrying, where they were robbed, had a burglary in the house, heard people getting shot out on the street, and more, had the most influence on his creative work.
The fear was so intense, with violence and hate and filth all around them. After that, peaceful and beautiful countries in Europe were not at all interesting or inspiring to him.
It is first in their creative worlds and abstractions that their tabooless, uninhibited, and otherworldly qualities really become visible and you understand why they belong to the side of "raw nature."
Artists like Hans Rudi Giger and Luis Royo are examples.
Another example is animator Peter Chung, famous for the bizarre cartoon avant-garde science fiction series Aeon Flux.
He follows the expected pattern, did not fit into the education because he was too experimental and headstrong,
finds the work process with animation dull and primarily wants to get through ideas with substance and meaning.
Beyond these five examples, I have not found many filmmakers or artists that I can confirm are Abstractum-individuals.
Japanese manga creators like Masamune Shirow, creator of Ghost in the Shell,
and Kentaro Miura, creator of Berserk, might be Abstractum-individuals as their works fit the pattern and they are very invisible to the public.
But precisely because of that, it being difficult to find pictures and videos of them, I can not use them as examples.
The only other example I can find so far is Tim Burton.
Since Abstractum-individuals are drawn away and live in their own world, they may have difficulty noticing or taking an interest in their surrounding environments.
Because of that, their family and others can feel undervalued, ignored, and taken for granted.
Although Abstractum can be said to be undemanding, the least judgmental of others, and easy to live with, their demands not be subjected to demands can reach unreasonable levels,
as with Albert Einstein's infamous list to his first wife.
And despite their undemanding position, they can be extremely difficult to impress, and they can become perfectionists who place high demands on their own work.
Stanley Kubrick could sometimes take up to a hundred shots before he was satisfied.
He made fewer films than many other directors, had difficulty finding a script that appealed to him, and did not take custom orders.
They want their work to have substance, be meaningful, and above all be interesting to themselves.
They easily feel overwhelmed, often give up before they have started, and can get upset and say in despair "I can't do it!"
If they agree to interviews they are often accommodating but not very talkative, and their responses are precise and concise.
They have a minimalistic quality, want to simplify as much as possible.
In his last film Kubrick had a very small team so it almost did not look like a film set.
He liked editing the best, and said that he only enjoyed making films when the actors are gone.
It is unlikely that Abstractum-individuals would become comedians like the other two Sapientiam-types can become,
and, as said, they can appear humorless and boring not only in their quietness and lack of cheerfulness, but also in their allergicness to frivolity and lack of substance.
But not all Abstractum-individuals lack humor, which may be due to the configuration, and often their humor is merely of a more strange and dark character that others would not laugh at.
However, it generally requires more to get an Abstractum to laugh, and they often laugh at things that are not meant to be funny.
It's also unlikely that they become actors since I've not found anyone, unless you count David Lynch playing Agent Gordon Cole in his own TV series.
The problem is not merely that they do not pull themselves together and act.
An equally large problem is that others infantilize them and usually have no high thoughts about them.
"This is just a child," people can often say, with little interest in working with them.
So Abstractum-individuals usually work in solitude, as one-man armies.
They are thus more common as authors and philosophers.
Some examples are Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, and David Hume who said that from early on he had "an insurmountable aversion to everything but the pursuits of Philosophy and general Learning."
It was also said that Hume mastered the art of being impartial more than anyone else.
But it should be noted that impartiality is also a spiritual ideal and a goal of enlightenment,
so this does not necessarily mean that also ancient spiritual masters and religious founders like Buddha were Abstractum-individuals.
Abstractum has certain advantages when it comes to spirituality, or as I call it, essentialness, and is naturally nearest to the internal witness.
Which very well may be part of their function in the human species, to inspire this impartiality or essentialness.
But people who follow specific teachings and get educated right can also adopt new qualities that cover over their type so it becomes difficult to see.
And all religious founders followed some form of knowledge guidance, no one invented something completely new.
So not everyone who were hippies were Fiduciam, not every nationalist or conspiracy theorist is a Magnitudinem, and not every Buddha or objective philosopher is an Abstractum.
The culture has a great influence on individuals and usually gives them a majority of their ideals and ideas,
so it is always better to identify types on their behaviors, appearances, and others' anecdotes about them than their writings, theories and philosophies.
Other examples of Abstractum are authors like Franz Kafka, and scientists like Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.
I have not found any example of a famous Swedish Abstractum.
With Exitium secondary in the configuration they can be more combative, and more resemble Magnitudinem in both attitude and appearance,
like Youtuber Paul Joseph Watson.
Sometimes they can also have traits of paranoia.
Vaslav Nijinsky is an example of an Abstractum who was diagnosed with schizophrenia due to feelings of persecution.
I became interested in reading about Nijinsky when I heard about his diary containing schizophrenic elements, and was surprised that he turned out to be an Abstractum who had also been a ballet dancer.
I thought, this is impossible, but I could see that he was really not suited for it when I looked up his biography.
He ended up in ballet by accident because it was what his family did for a living.
He was said to be lazy, his sister did his homework, but early on he showed a talent for experimental Russian ballet.
Abstractum-individuals can be more mobile when young, especially if they have Libidinem secondary, since the Gratum-sphere is strongest between 7 and 15 years of age for those who do not have it as primary.
He could be powerful on stage, but was indecisive, simple, shy, and withdrawn off stage.
He improvised a lot and did not follow the rules on stage,
and when he tried doing his own choreography and directing other dancers, he had a hard time persuading them to perform his very experimental style and his career fell apart.
Because of his personality, he understood more and more that he could not handle a whole group of people.
He canceled performances, lost reputation, gave up, and failed completely.
That's when he started to get mental problems, as a result of too much taking on of responsibility.
He isolated himself, and passively lived the rest of his life in a mental institution.
It is possible that he faked his schizophrenia to get away from people and from the world and live a passive life in a home.
But I think psychiatrists would call that too a kind of illness.
Psychiatrists also wanted to diagnose Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, with paranoid schizophrenia, but Ted insisted he was fully sane.
It is unusual that Abstractum-individuals become killers, like Ted, but with Exitium secondary they become, as said before, more like aggressive Magnitudinem-individuals.
The difference is that Abstractum-individuals become more misanthropic, and do not care about grandeur or ideals.
"Basically, you want to be surrounded by people who understand and respect you for who you are,
and that will never ever happen if one surrounds oneself with superficial relationships where you can not even express your true opinions."
An example on Youtube is Angry foreigner, who probably also has Urbanum secondary because he is better at expressing himself and has more verbal ability than many other Abstractum-individuals.
Urbanum enhances an individual's vocal capacity.
"I have at least five people in my life that I can talk just about anything with, no matter how taboo or dark."
"I could never have had such relationships if I at most valued acquaintances where you only talk about football or the weather."
"Daily, I usually spend one or two hours taking long walks where I just reflect on everything possible, and that's probably why I'm pretty good at explaining my thoughts."
"Because I've played a lot with them. I spend a lot of time with them."
"I'm constantly thinking, because I think it's fun. It gives me an ejaculation. It feels great to get insights and to seek understanding."
"It's exciting to explore the mental plane."
"Every person should strive to get to know themselves and reality at the absolute deepest level possible, and every corner must be explored no matter how dark they may be."
"I can probably say that I do not get much enjoyment from compliments."
"But maybe that's because you do not respect those who give you the compliments?"
"It's rather because they say obvious things. I know I'm smart and amazing, it makes no difference if somebody else says it."
"...I was unemployed, I had nothing to lose, I had nothing to do, I had no prospects so I might as well do this."
"You don't have much need for people's social acceptance and being liked either, so you have no such..."
"I hate people."
"Yes exactly."
"I hope more people start raising their opinions so I don't have to."
"You mean you want to retire?"
"It would have been great if I did not have to do this at all."
It is worth noting that he would prefer not to make videos and disseminate information, as Abstractum-individuals are not seeking popularity, praise, righteousness, or sense of duty.
He is impartial, does not care how he is considered.
He has similarities with Nietzsche in that he incorporates the expression of his message in an unbalanced way,
a necessary Exitiumic intensity that also Nietzsche used in order to be able to keep going.
Want to demolish through the intellect. Self-expression as a form of personal art therapy.
And, just like Nietzsche, he hates hypocrisy enormously.
"I will never ever become a politician. I simply do not have the personality for it. I prefer the forest in front of people."
Many want him to become a politician, which he himself does not want to become.
It is unlikely that an Abstractum has ever been a political leader, even Einstein declined the offer to become Israel's president.
But it would be interesting to see an Abstractum in a political leadership position.
Another Abstractum on Youtube is Styxhexenhammer666.
Styxhexenhammer probably has Urbanum secondary since he has a more functioning voice and talks a lot, while Paul Joseph Watson probably has Libidinem secondary like me.
You can see that he has to push himself more when he is talking and he can look quite exhausted in some videos.
With Misericordia secondary, they can look older and coarser, as Misericordia often gives an aging quality.
One example is the internet personality Maddox, who might be as close to an Abstractum comedian as we'll get.
But as he got criticized for being expressionless with an uninteresting voice, it's no wonder he focuses more on writing his satire than making videos or appear on stage.
But if an Abstractum has Corpus secondary, they look more like this...
Abstractum often have faces that look smaller and rounder than Magnitudinem, although sometimes they may look very similar to Magnitudinem.
Sometimes they rarely laugh, something they themselves may not think about, and can look more depressed than they actually may be.
They also often have a heavy look, with a touch of lethargy or tiredness around the eyes.
Two female examples are physicists Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. They have typical Abstractum faces.
I had expected to find at least one female Abstractum on Youtube by now, but have not come across any.
They are even more rare in public than Abstractum-men.
I could show some examples from my own life, but you'll have to wait till I get a bit into my autobiographical material.
