Can’t Sleep, Time to Do...

I couldn’t believe I spent literal decades confused about people’s behaviors, and it only now occurred to me that I could get better at it. I had received SO many clues and data points my entire life, but my model. Never. Updated. I watched TV and film with new eyes now. Every [TV show was now a puzzle](https://x.com/DefenderOfBasic/status/1766819164352589852), the question was: why are the characters doing this? what will they do next? (I would literally pause and try to make this prediction and then keep going).
My enjoyment of film skyrocketed, and I became obsessed with what truths I could extract. For the first time in my life, I had strong opinions about what a character “should” have done. **I saw myself and the director on equal footing: both of us are looking out into the world and trying to capture a predictive model of people**.
