Soc Final Brainstorm 2

I want to get closer to an understanding of meaning?
So I guess I'm working along this path.
I could also think about meta-patterns in emotional energy, and the type of interactions they indicate
make sure participants are listening and speaking,
and mixing them up all the time.
record each's voice,
maybe I don't pay them that much for their time...
i don't know.
it could be quite cheap if I can do automated inference / data collection stuffs.

look back in your notes. there is something interesting there!
good luck!

Omg...
This is all well and good. Really interesting.
But what's the point? Where's my application?
