Looking at things is an attribute of multiple very different approaches. Flirting seems very different from e.g. the process of writing The Voyage of the Beagle. In the former, experience is part of a feedback process. In the latter, experience is part of a process of finding out and cataloguing what there is.
If you approach flirting as though you were going to write a report home about it, I expect this will take you out of the experience in a way that will not work out well for you (even though if you do it the usual way, you still might write up your thoughts afterwards ). In the other direction, it’s easy to imagine an alternate-universe Darles Charwin who visited the Galapagos Islands and instead of cataloguing the finches, simply followed the reward signal they represented and ate them. The type of looking at the world thus displayed would crucially differ from what Charles Darwin actually did.

I’m having trouble parsing this comment. Is there a missing “different” in the second sentence?
Fixed, thanks!
