Well, it's how I feel sometimes, and maybe I should say it more. I dunno.

But it's true that I don't find plane crashes terribly interesting. I asked why you did, and that was interesting, but for me, planes are just one small thing, one small symptom of larger forces. I mean, for you they aren't just planes either, but in a much more metaphorical way? But that will be my opinion on things like plane crashes, because it's how I think. I don't get pooling data, because at a point it stops being helpful to a scientific investigation and just becomes more data. That's the sort of thing I write about on my LJ sometimes--methods of investigation, and logical ways of going about these problems, and why sometimes it doesn't work--because it interests me, because I want to make things better. I don't always think I'm informed enough to have an argument either. That's why I take quotes and scraps--too much, sometimes--because I want to think about them and have people think about them with me so that we can develop ideas further, and learn.
