militant Catholics interviewing Scientologist attorneys?

OMFG. I only have a finite amount of time on this earth, most of which is already gone. Reverse engineering synthetic data to fit published summary statistics is SOOOO BORING compared to trying to figure out why a militant Catholic would listen to the opinions of a Scientologist regarding Trump's <flagged>rigorous preparation for combating voter fraud executed by the deep state</flagged>. Maybe empathy is infinite, but my bandwidth for such enticing rabbit holes is not. Why am I drawn to insanity?

Taking leave of reality is [sometimes][said to be] fun.  Hell, why take drugs when you just be a Trumper.

I've never found aggregate characterizations very engaging.  
At the end of the day, I consider myself a hacker, and so I'm interested in how to make and break things.   I'm distrustful of (emergent) systems as doing (eh `computing') anything at all.    People like Trump or the edge cases of crazy are far more informative about the nature of things.   Even the ordinary every day events like the woman who was standing on the corner shredding her shirt into pieces while screaming at the top of her lungs are engaging data points.

Aha! That's very generous of you. If I can cast my fascination with the bizarre as an idiosyncratic attempt to circumscribe a space, then it would make some sense to delve into any given wormhole as long as there's energy to do so. I guess the problem comes in that I often don't *document* what I find. My explicit memory is terrible ... but by diving into all this crazy stuff, am I implicitly learning/reinforcing behaviors that I'm unware of? And if so, then I'm *training* myself to be batsh¡t. Ugh. I need the biohackers to step up their game. I want a raspberry π I can dock with that reinforces explicit New Year's resolutions ... like read more books ... be nicer to people ... and dampens my desire to have intimate discussions with weirdos.
