Interesting read.

Would you mind giving an example of “Develops the need for finding the meaning of knowledge and of human experience”?

It’s part of the text that explains what happens when the complexity of OEs increases at level III of Intellectual OE.

I'm afraid I can't readily give an example because this presentation was from 2018, and the cases aren't so not fresh for me anymore. But it sounds to me like he's describing the deeper existential concerns and search for meaning one sees in multilevel disintegration compared to unilevel disintegration. I think you'd have to read the cases from that book to get more insight into exactly what he meant by this description. The autobiographies and responses to Verbal Stimuli from the subjects can be found in Volume 2, which is where the dynamisms, functions, and overexcitabilities were coded. That's what we were working with when we gave this talk.

Thank you! This means an expansion of my "reading Dabrowski" journey 😃
