Personally I am extremely externally focused. But maybe I'm the exception.
However, I do NOT mean I am not introspective. On the contrary. I'm extremely introspective. Although it's philosophical and logical introspection rather than emotional introspection. It's reflection. It's contemplation.
What I mean is that even though our values exist in our brains they point to truths external to us. And even if no humans ever existed there would still be truths. Just not truths to be known.
I'm also an externalist when it comes to motivation as ultimately all our internal conscious motives are determined by external unconscious causes.
