Level 2 Thinker:
You see cracks in some aspects of what you think is true. Like data variation on a daily basis. Or that you mother was married to another man but you just learned of it. You trust most sources but think there's a legit reason to the inconsistencies.

Level 3 Thinker:
You see major cracks in reality & start to see the illusion. Think later scenes in The Truman Show. Light slivers light breaking through the studio. Doesn't seem right. You start asking more questions & are becoming more aware. You are considered a bit paranoid.

Level 4 Thinker:
The cracks are very clear. You don't accept anything without deeper questions. You're bordering manic by most measures of psychology. You're learning more, becoming aware. You make intelligent conclusions but still miss bigger interconnected points/narratives.

Level 5 Thinker:
You've broken free of The Truman Show or Pleasantville. You're a bonafide crackpot by all societal standards & are the biggest risks to the mainstream narrative. You're the conspiracy nut. You go to halfway houses if not careful. You're the best hope for change.
