i’m afraid

making such distinctions
strikes me as too much saber-rattling
a position arising from category-shifting language games

in actuality
in the psycho-social field
there is a self-similar scale of these ‘hubs’ or people with high connectivity
eg you tomas have more connection than me
and your influence wrt your thought
has more effect in the psycho-social field

i play GO to comprehend the meaning of influence
in an abstract setting
which has some application to the notion you are addressing here…
that is
my experience is based directly on my experience in the social field
and in a non-verbal system afforded by the rules of GO that give rise to effects we can label as ‘influence’
