I enjoy the mental exercise of finding where boundaries lie.<p>For instance, if you simply observe the actions people take when they talk to you, that's obviously your observation. If you were to, say, journal it, it's still yours. It's a weird thing to do, but it's yours.<p>If you used the journal to optimize yourself, perhaps to make conversation with you more enjoyable, again, that's weird, but perhaps also merely a paper version of what already goes on inside your head.<p>What if talking to you were really enjoyable, so that while people could technically avoid it, they usually didn't want to?<p>At what magnitude does the volume of people you're observing reach a scale where the people you're observing start to believe your observations are theirs?
