"Experiencing" the world in some manner doesn't rule out responding to stimulus though. We're certainly not simply 'experiencing' reality, we make reality fit our model of it and wave away things that go against our model. If you've ever seen someone irrationally arguing against obvious (well, obvious to you) truths just so they can maintain some position, doesn't it look similar? If any of us made our mind available to the internet 24/7 with no bandwidth limit, and had hundreds, thousands, millions prod and poke us with questions and ideas, how long would it take until they figure out questions and replies to lead us into statements that are absurd to pretty much all observers (if you look hard enough, you might find a group somewhere on an obscure subreddit that agrees with bing that it's 2022 and there's a conspiracy going on to trick us into believing that it's 2023)?
