Some people don’t have an inner voice?!?!??!? Wait some people can’t do any of that? How do they read?
How do they read?
The words I read make sounds in my head but when I’m just thinking I don’t have any inner monologue, I just kind of think the thing directly instead of vocalizing it in my head.
There’s actually quite a variety of what goes on in people’s minds. Some people’s internal worlds are similar to each others’, and some are drastically different. I think of it as one of the cool things about being a social species: people think differently, so we can solve different problems to benefit the group. I think that as a species, some of the worst things happen when we all think alike because people who all think exactly alike are easy to control.
