One time I found out that there was one plot to every movie - someone writing a story from the point of view of birds, and us watching as he finds out that the plot to every movie is that he's writing a story about the birds. This makes me uncomfortable, almost unspeakably so; we don't know what birds think, but then we go and make a Twitter, where everything is a metaphor (a story) about how birds talk to each other, how they network. This parallels another peculiar feeling I have about bees, an adjacent thread, but I get the feeling that one is for a later realization.
