Correction: America will start building colonies and other countries that can afford it will follow.
Fast forward a few years and someone will stage a coup and claim ownership over a big part of whichever celestial body they're on, thus becoming privately owned.
Isn't there a treaty in place anyway which makes it illegal for nations to own shit in space?

Yeah like the "concept" of a white bear or pink elephant when told not to think about it, but if you are a primary conceptual/unsymbolized thinker you also do of course only in purely conceptual form - you just know and are aware you are thinking about that despite not visually seeing it or internally hearing yourself say "white bear" etc. That's why I brought up the "tip of the tongue" phenomenon to elucidate that thinking in pure concepts alone is not something foreign to most people they are just perhaps unaware of it, and as an example of unsymbolized thinking.

I brought up intent specifically to showcase that's what the professor believed that even intent never becomes conscious if its not tied to "sensory experience" which I assume is some inner visual or verbal "trigger", a feeling of thirst followed by a mental image of water, or a man I'm thirsty" verbal though. But you can experience just the interoceptive awareness of thirst and awareness of the subsequent intent to go do something about it without any "sensory" aspect to it beyond the interoceptive awareness. I did also specifically mention concepts in my post and also here in this earlier image I made during the NPC meme craze on here and other boards >>11894372

>A majority of a person's thinking is probably based on such concepts.
Here's my theory - maybe the initial unsymbolized thought is "masked" by immediate verbal or visual sensory thought that is more salient and those whose brains developed without the connections/structures that led to inner speech/mental imagery ability are more able to detect these "subtler" forms of thought, the conceptual thought, the "judgments, decisions, intentions and goals" the professor so adamantly insisted no one has conscious access to because they are not traditionally sensory experiences, but even these thoughts have a "feeling" of sorts to them, in that you can notice when you are thinking about them, or are accompanied by stronger emotions.
