        Sure but the set up to said joke is fundamentally wrong. It’s like the punch line was written and a joke was constructed to get you there… that’s backwards

          … I feel like that’s how a lot of jokes are made, actually. You have a funny concept, you just need a way to set it up in a good way.

      I think that op is referencing the style that’s about observing the thoughts dispassionately and allowing them to flow away. The goal is to empty the mind, but the observing is used as an alternative to interacting or engaging.
