A danger of observation and collecting of data is that you end up finding meta-situations;
perhaps you realize that in the end, all skateboarding is performance art, and then you realize
that all athletic endeavors are performance art, and then, eventually, you realize that performance
is one of the main human traits.... and so on, until finally you've encompassed all of existence
into a huge "meta-performance paradigm" and nobody knows what the fuck you're talking about.
In fact, while you're not being listened to anymore because your stuff doesn't appear to have relevance,
you occasionally pipe up with "I thought of that first!" when you see someone applying similar
thought trains to yours in a random forum or situation, and then you act like you "own" all this
and consider it "old hat" and then you're not just a irrelevant cloud-head, you're an asshole
irrelevant cloud-head with a persecution complex.
