That's not in any way original. But, the decomposition is useful. Crudely, imagine you can decompose a belief into {direct experience, social experience}. So long as the ratio of the former to the latter stays within certain bounds, estimates will approach correct.

But, when that ratio skews too heavily on the social, you get the entropic delirium effect. The social payoff to either in-group validation and out-group rejection dominates, and group-truth is an ineffectual tether.
