Question: When you watch people what are you actually looking for?

I don’t look for anything!

It’s a type of science called ’empirical research’ and ‘unmotivated looking’, which basically means I don’t have any theory, or thoughts about what’s happening — I build collections of things that are similar (like how people use language in a certain way, or how people move their body) and from that I can explain patterns of social behaviour.
