Forget about points, enjoy contributing, and simply have fun with your time spent amongst a great group of intelligent people with no agendas to put up with.

I enjoy talking to everyone. I like how everyone on here (most) are intellectuals and also intelligent. It's nice to make good conversation with them. Level up and find out.

Do the levels make this a religion, like Scientology? I'm an Agnostic 5.1 lol

I'm a level 5.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O.K. I really don't know what that means, nor do I really care, but I am very happy to be part of the community and hope I can contribute.

People always looking for shortcut... must be millennial thing. Why don't you get there instead of ask?

It's a community - what about comraderie? Meanwhile your effort shows you are serious and people will mesagewith you, Community? Dating?

Not sure about 7, I haven't made it there yet

But at level 5 you gain some super secret perks that don't actually seem to work.

And at a level 6 you gain the ability to approve the comments of lower level people if nobody else has approved them yet. Actually, I was able to "approve" comments from @MsOliver and @DangerDave, who are level 7, so I'm not sure what's up with that. Maybe too many people have flagged them or something and they are on the naughty list.

And, lvl 7 vs lvl 5 brings esteem, bragging rights, and +2 to agnostic.com addiction modifier.
