Well, if you are losing your mind, then it is a good thing that you recognize the possibility and you can do something about it.
I’m kidding of course ~~but there is truth in that,
But would someone who is losing their mind be aware of that?
But why, pray tell, do you see that as a possibility? Are your little bots giving you a hard time? hehehehehe
Is that a rhetorical question?
I may be wrong here but that might depend on the individual him/her -self. I think that some of us at the moment when we are feeling compelled to talk, or are aware of that compulsion within ourselves, and are experiencing it through talk, can take a step back and realize where they are coming from, what it is which is triggering it, what fear, et cetera, and can bring it to a slow halt.
But to further answer your question, probably LOADS.
There is so very much within us which we are not aware of - what makes us tick. We and our minds are like deep space in a sense, a final frontier the end of which we may never understand.
Okay, that’s enough
As a social recluse I have no desire to influence anyone. I am more an observer of society
than a participant and this suits me just fine. As being detached allows for peace of mind
So because you have no desire to influence anyone your influence becomes unintentional. Do you think anything might be affected by your observation?
Still I see the sense in your detachment - I am just wondering how many different forms of detachment I can come up with.
If it was rhetorical then I would have indicated my intention clearly for it to be rhetorical.
Seriously though: why do you think it would be the case? That I lost my desire to talk not the whole rhetorical intentional indication thingy . . .
. . . or even the know me better than that thingy . . . just messing with ya.
The words I write here and else where may influence others but like you say that is purely unintentional. As I have already
said I am not here to change minds and make others think like me. I simply write what I think and leave it up to them how
they want to interpret it. Agree or disagree it makes no difference to me. I have no control over other minds only my own
O! many a shaft, at random sent, Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word, at random spoken, May soothe or wound a heart that’s broken!

Information, yes, but if “we all seek to influence each other”, as you said, then this can be reduced to Hegel’s “desire to get recognition (appreciation)” or to Nietzsche’s “will to power”.
I think that Hegel’s “desire to get recognition (appreciation)” is the basis, thus also the basis of the following examples:
