I was reading Feynman about his observing paramecium behavior to be quite diverse and unpredictable versus what the textbook said about paramecium moving and bouncing off of obstructions.
As I sit here, doing what I always did on a happy Saturday morning [except it is Thursday] - sitting with a piece of paper and thinking about abstractions, I realize that sitting at my desk is what I spend almost the entirety of my time doing. I move around a bit. I eat and sleep. But from the pov of an alien observer, they would conclude that my sitting with a piece of paper is what I do. Everything else in my life would be reduced to something not mentioned in the observer's textbook.
