The context screenshot is an old Reddit thread where someone told the story about the time they asked someone about their inner dialogue. The person responded that they didn’t have an inner dialogue. The comment section blew up.
people have been talking about it more, and finding out how some people are just 'different' in the way they think. like some people can't 'think' about their thinking; no metacognition...

thought this quote from ^ thread was interesting and it mentions 17:)
"Some University ran God consciousness or God Spark, deep spirituality awareness test and the number was like only 17 percent
So yes, majority of people run on instinct, media programming or auto pilot with no level of deeper thought"
That is scary. I cant imagine not having an inner monolog/dialog.
Sometimes people ask me what I'm thinking, so I say, "right at this instant," and after only one minute of description, which covers maybe 1/4th of what I was thinking, they say ENOUGH! How can you get anything done!?!
I say "exactly" to be cute.
In reality, how do you get anything done NOT having all the variables and contingencies and alternative results already thought through? It boggles my mind.
This. True. So I had a discussion about guns in a library with the library director once. She was shocked and visibly scared, not just shaken, scared, of the thought that people had already been in the library with concealed firearms even though it's perfectly legal to do so in our state.
Based on our conversation, she sincerely believed that if she ever were to hold a gun she would be so frightened that she would start shooting people out of pure fear.
In her mind, absolutely no one in the world has any kind of impulse control. Which obviously is what she projects onto others.
So painfully obvious it is her problem, I don't understand how people are not self-aware enough to be able to grasp that concept.
It makes me wonder, thinking back and realizing how self aware I was at 6. I remember the second Regan election, and the internal dialog I had about it based on my parents comments about the votes.
I see the kids my children have grown up with and I can see soooo many npcs, see the choices they are making and have accurately predicted their future (thus far).
Its a no wonder my kids dont fit in. The cognative differences is staggering.
how does anyone know anything about someone else's inner dialog?

I remember it. And I also remember users confirming that they don’t have an inner monologue. Blew my mind.
