Sometimes it’s better to just sit and watch

“It takes an enormous effort to avoid all theories and just see — just experience directly. But, for a time, subjective experience might benefit from a little freedom before we try to slap it into a conceptual straightjacket. Sometimes it’s better to just sit and watch. It’s surprising what you can learn that way.”
–Michael Crichton, Travels (1988)
