Nice to see & read your posts again Pudgala.

Welcome.

Some input from me, if I may.

I agree the ego is a "virtual reality" conditioned in the mind by acquired opinions, beliefs, attitudes, etc.

However, there are also inherent or in-born tendencies (anusaya) or drives, which are more primal than views & opinions.

Tendencies like sensual desire, reproductive instinct, the will to live, etc.

These things can also condition ego in the mind.
