It's probably good advice for some aspects of life, you know you best.

I do see that you comment on similar topics. Group think though. Logic, math, computer science, hyper connectivity of the internet. It's like a microcosm analogy-'trend'-flow. Probably gaining understanding independently primarily through imagery and correlating words and meaning.

I think at base with graphs, math pictures. Then math words. Logic forms rigor that reels in insanity, ties oneself back into reality - data recognized as valid by my own existence. Computer science, software as my profession. But I started out being an artist, that's sense of self.

People sometimes behave like birds or schools of fish, even if the words are all jumbled up and connected in strange ways (lots of wikipedia?). Primes behavior for seeing connections in social media. It's like having a body in digital space, that's how I see it, sort of. Leaving footprints all over the place.

As for feedback loops, self reference. Math. Words, I'm guessing we share a connection through other social media, background validation, I'm going to guess wikipedia, but that's just how I see how people establish thinking connections, because that's the difference between it and so much other information on the internet. It's very organized and ordered in terms of relational linking to connect different topics, and it ties back into academia - 'knowledge as categorical imperative' funded research. You can worry about the feedback loops but pretty sure everyone in the system does too. Everyone needs a base to check against.

I could be wrong but guessing is sometimes fun to do. I try to reduce the space I guess in. Makes understanding simple things turn into a hard problem. Cheers
