German term or phrase: das mich so hinkriegt
Hello everyone!

The phrase is part of a lecture in Social Science. I couldn't find the exact meaning and I'm asking for help;
Here is the text:


Die Angst ist dann wieder weg. Verstehen Sie, die Angst ist deshalb, weil das noch nicht bei MAN angekommen ist. Und im Prinzip haben wir diese beiden Kulturen hier im Raum. Die einen sagen: „Wir wollen jetzt mal was ganz Neues, was Irres machen: Festplatten anschrauben, dass ich immer verliebt bin, dass das mich so hinkriegt“, und die anderen, die blocken mehr und sagen: „Jetzt können wir so was wie die Seele, die Weltseele – also kennen Sie auch Religion, wo alles ist eins, Atman, der Atem der Welt, ich bin eins mit dem Sonnengott Ra in Ägypten“ usw.


Thanks in advance!

There’s one group that says ‘Let’s do something novel, outrageous here; something that makes me fall in love with it each time because it always gets my juices going…"

".. dass das mich so hinkriegt.." seems to be used akin to the example below:

"The day you make your first dollar online you must email me and tell me all about. That’s the kind of stuff that really gets my juices going."

To me, most of the other suggestions including those in the discussion box sound like decent explanations but the language is either not idiomatic or current enough (outdated) to fit the style used in this talk.
