> Q1: Can we imitate "thinking" from only observing behavior?
If you believe that the human mind is the result of Darwinian evolution, then you implicitly believe that thinking can arise from interacting with the environment. That does not exactly answer the question, but if anything, it goes beyond it.
On the other hand:
"This could also be addressed via other high-data environments:
1) Observing trader orders on markets and seeing if we can recover the trader's deductive reasoning and beliefs about the future. See if we can observe rational thought (if not rational behavior).
2) Recovering intent and emotions and desire from social network activity."
Before you could even begin to get anything from these streams of symbols, you would have to have some way to give them semantics - to understand what they signify to the actors. I suspect that these would be among the last things you would achieve, not a means to the end.
