The one question I have is where the data comes from that constructs most of these internal experiences. Is it mainly information in near recent experiences or observations, is it an aggregate that is somewhat in relative isolation to observable 'reality' that develops over time and if so, are there objective types of experiences that promote mutation of the internal experience? Can some of those consist of more internal experiences, and if so, at what threshold does such an internal experience become a self-sustaining feed back loop?

Please keep speaking up.

I would agree but that argument goes for pretty much any aspect of human behavior. Where I make a distinction is by defining dominant behavior.

The more involved you are with anything to do with data, the less likely you are to use it.

I don't like social media very much because it's created a culture of bullying people into conformity. It's not so much my opinion that data trends predict individuals, as some may argue, but that people are pressured to conform to trends, rewarded when they do, and punished when they do not. This philosophy is deeply entrenched in the language and behaviors of groups, and it's violently prone to manipulation.
