When they read, it's an external monologue? Can they visualize scenes?
I still believe that anyone can think in moving images, text, sounds, pure abstract thoughts etc and I'm being psyopped or gas-lighted by three letter agencies (or even two letter agencies) that this is far from normal. How can visual arts be common otherwise? Book covers? Comics?

Npcs definitely exists but it's not like inner monologue is any proof or definitive explanation. According to gurdjief being conscious and self aware is luxury and that life has no need for it and to some is even dangerous. People who are doing so and decide to be self aware are doing it at the risk of their own death because realizations can cause mental problems which could result into suicide.

This is my instinct as well, but from what I can tell, we really do share this planet with undeveloped hominins. We have all seen the studies where they test children of different ages whether they have a grasp of e.g. object permanence. It turns out there are a series of well-understood “milestones” like that which some children reach sooner than others. Into the teenage years, however the Experts start to get real vague: “understands abstract concepts” is about it. They do not clarify when pressed. I suspect that the true list extends quite a bit farther, but with the uncomfortable caveat that many so-called “people” will never reach them

Speaking as an NPC, in all but full support for globalhomo and still religiously wearing a face diaper, I can confirm we do indeed have inner monologues, in which we'll even argue with ourselves in our conflicting self-generated dialogue trees. Sometimes the inner dialogue will use other NPC's voices, usually parents or loved ones.

Though I keep coming across fellow NPCs who don't realize they are NPCs, usually those with a dialogue tree that includes belief in the existence of NPCs.

>>14844755
Also inner taste and smell, when I think of burning or burgers, I get a vague impression of the taste/smell. I'm class #2 for visuals, unless I focus on the internal image, then I'm class #1, though my apples always have a worm hole for some reason.

No it isn't, I can reflect and introspect on my thoughts or events or future possibilities or my daydreams or my own meta-cognition without needing to utilize my "minds mouth", the only times I ever use my "minds mouth" is when imagining dialogue with someone in a daydream or to prepare for IRL encounter (rarely)

You and everyone else who thinks like you make the mistake of assuming thinking with words is necessary to think deeply and abstractly when its often the opposite, furthermore the mistaken assumption that thinking without words is not active, conscious, effortful thinking at all

All you need to understand is there is not really one superior method of thinking over the other it depends on context. If you aren't social and don't engage in conversation IRL often and don't write or poetry or theater then thinking in words is not necessary, its a slower, less efficient method by some respects.

Yeah, it's a good example. Honestly I was thinking a lot about this, because the first time I heard about this phenomenon it completely blew my mind that there are people who lack inner speech and/or mental imagining. Intuitively I thought it's impossible, and it's hard to imagine thinking without it if you do, but it lead me to thinking more about how you are just subconsciously doing all of this first and then (to a large extent but not entirely) consciously forming it verbally in your head. I assume for people who lack this kind of verbal representation of these subconscious processes it is represented in some other more subtle manner.

this is true for just simple tasks but to foster actual understanding it is essential. If you just read shit without actually discussing it in your mind it no different than "spouting of at the mouth" like low IQ fucktards do. Anyone can read fast and talk out their ass. Intelligent people make measured and THOUGHTFUL responses.

Carl Jung said something like people without an psychic inner world are npc's/nonconscious. There, take that!
I can affirm, I've been on it at every angle.
I've been a bright kid with reflection, recollection, individual thought patterns about the world.
I've been a droning, animal, unconscious passive nothing.
I've had a literal separate world within me in the form of lost time in a world completely as real as this one.

The thing in between is similar to dementia, except worse, because it's dysfunctional/mad. It's a symptom of systematic abuse, ritually malformed consciousness into impoverishment of thought, a diminished collective and individual pattern recognition (such as empathy towards others/cues), an absence of adaptation and higher thought.

With psychic regained consciousness one can now experience a system of thinking, which reflects a system of boundaries emplaced in the environment, revealing self-other orientation, higher forms of interdimensional interdependence in thought, emotion, and bijective. That is, I can be with you as interdependent causally with you, without acausal intra-dependent blank stares or self-obsession, learning your personal common sense or profiling at a high level and feel encouraged to do so, as a privileged and entitled person (such rights).

I'm still pretty fuckin' crazy though, but at least I'm capable of adaptation and not a repressed sum, not even capable of emerging, a void in societal dysregulation. At least I can now regulate my affairs, and direct my selfhood qua the negation of void, passion, delusion, false symbiosis of necessary social living and required for the group pact within the these dire situation currently with cultures of harmful symptoms on it.
Does that make me a parasite? Shot an inference. At least I'm valid! And so are you if you're reading this post, understand it, or it doesn't matter to you. Maybe pennywise, as well. Ya know? Freedom, not mental slavery! >qua this?

Not only does having a rich inner world allow oneself those privileges, it also allows one an open door to insight into memetic culture, genes, symbolic expression, If one loves something enough they'll go after it! It is simply to talk about something figuratively, but another thing to ask why and how is it with me right now, and be present to answer those questions. There's not room for all the memes in the head. Did you know there's a such thing as an antimeme? It is not simply a typical question of historicity, but also bearing. So a memetic expression is not simply to figure, this means that or that. One must have integrated some of these symbols, and already have them as robust pieces of conscious ideas. Then one can start to question, why does it make me experience and do xyz. How do I compensate myself with the usage of this meme? This encapsulates both the affect, personality, and wish fulfilment. One can simply ask, 'how does this make me feel?' In addition to recalling it's context, if one is able to.
One could perhaps prove the feeling-tone is injective to the core wish, but the theoretical wish is not necessary. However, the wish is surjective to the compensatory genetic expression, as a matter of the id (biological drive). But the wish can be displaced, which is homeomorphic to clustered phenomena. Compensation is just a symptom of epiphenomena, observe that it is surjective to collective wishes of personalities, interdependent to one another, not intra-connection qualified or as it may, this may occur too in specificity.

This guy doesn't even know what thoughts are, so why should I watch the rest of the video?
Also, it's amazing someone who cannot think can somehow edit a video. That's what I don't understand. Blind people cannot read. Deaf people cannot hear. If you're blind and deaf inside your head, how are you thinking? How can you recognize words or people's faces? How do you remember things when you're not actively looking at them?
I'm inclined to think people who claim they can't or don't do these things actually must do them, but they're somehow too stupid to realize what they're doing. Like people who claim they can't imagine images describe it as if other people can summon literal hallucinations superimposed over their visual field, instead of, you know, just seeing a thing inside your head, which is what a thought is.

Like, take an apple. You know what an apple is. "Apple" is not an abstraction. You can't "feel" an apple, like an emotion. If you bit into an apple, and it had the texture of a hotdog or smelled like an orange, or felt gritty to the touch, you'd know something was wrong because you know what an apple is. "Apple" exists in your head and follows you around. Otherwise your only knowledge of an apple would be when you're actively eating and sensing it. If there was something "wrong" about it, how could you possibly know, unless you know what apples are? And the only way to know what something is is to possess the ability to think about that thing. To remember it. To recollect its touch, taste, sight, smell, and texture. To suggest otherwise would mean every human is born knowing what apples are.

Verbal reflection. Either way, instead of deflecting, let's talk about your mental disability. So you're saying you can't plan simple actions without going through the steps verbally? How bad is it? Can you prepare a simple meal without it? How about going to the toilet to take a piss? Do you reason through that verbally as well? lol

So, later in the video, around 23 minutes, the subject mentions someone with what's known as a "split-brain," where the corpus callosum has been severed or removed, which is a real phenomenon that has been studied. Allah Gold falsely claims this is impossible, which makes all his micro-managing of pointing out mistakes all the more cringeworthy, as he obviously feels he's very intelligent (despite not understanding what thoughts are).

When people like me talk about other people who claim to have no inner monologue, it means they can't think. To say you can think, you're just not thinking "verbally" is nonsense. If you think an inner monologue is a literal monologue being recited internally, you're missing the point.
The reason I'm not shocked when words fly out of my face (or in this instance, through my fingertips) is because those words are already cocked and loaded in my mind. The words form, and then they are conveyed. If you're able to do this, you have an internal monologue, so you don't have to get all butthurt about other people who do have one being better than you.

I had a friend who came over to my house. We were dicking around online and pulled up an Adam Ruins Everything video, in which he says the terminology about "alpha males" as applied to wolves turned out to be wrong. Wolf packs were actually more like families, with a patriarch.

Days later, I used the term "alpha male," and this same friend start going on about, "Did you know the terminology about alpha males is wrong?" I said, "Yeah, we watched that Adam Ruins Everything video about it."
"Oh, I didn't know he did a video about it."
This dude literally had no memory of where information we both encountered at the same time, in the same place, had come from.

I suspect most people are like this. They hear something, believe it, then lose the "scaffolding" of how the belief came about. But this isn't so much a case of "no inner monologue" as it is "artificial inner monologue," like they have thoughts, but they're being inserted. And that's the layout of the NPC meme.

The absolute desperation of cattle heads to distinguish themselves from the rest of the dumb masses... in the end of the day, when your sort keeps prattling on about how everyone else doesn't a stream of verbal shart in their heads or doesn't remember what they saw two days ago, the only real conclusion I draw is that you have the set the bar real low for yourselves.
