Got my tumblers the other day (America First and the re-purposed Reagan ad), and my coffee has never tasted better. 😁 It stays nice and hot and my cat, Alice, can't dip her paw in my coffee thanks to the snug-fitting lids. She misses Aston, btw. Alice used to come running when she heard him yowling from the bathroom during your Toxic Masculinity livestreams. 🤫 I think she had a crush on him lol.
*If you don't have an inner monologue then is it also impossible for you to get an earworm song buzzing in your head?*
The 7 voices in my head are utterly shocked that people lack internal monologue.
At least you're able to have a unanimous opinion.
Same for me 😊
Dumb joke. Just the fact that you acknowledge they are IN YOUR HEAD, completely destroys the joke lol
@@onesixvLOL what? How?
4 of my 21 voices in my head agree
It's bizzare knowing npcs are actually real
NPC's are the people who identify 100% with the voice in their head. The universe plays them like a violin to play their role. If you don't realise your thoughts are separate from you, you are controlled by them, you don't create the thoughts they just happen. By definition an NPC.
I have a sneaky suspicion that no inner monolog = mouth breathers and narcissist , not all ,but a lot
Literally not how Npc works. But ok
I believe that NPCs exists, I don't think this lady is one. This lady does think, just not in words. This lady processes the world more abstractly and externaly.
@@danielstellmon5330 i agree, i meant this more as a joke as memes about this are circulating
I'm able to keep my job because I have an inner monologue. It stops me from telling certain people exactly what I think of them out loud. The older I get, however, the less I give a damn, and the less effective that inner filter becomes. 😂
The non-monologue person I saw asked about that said they’d just have a feeling of frustration and not go beyond that, so he doesn’t restrain the urge to tell his boss how he thinks he’s a jerk because that thought isn’t in his head, he’d have to make himself create the sentence
Amen. We just don't give a damn anymore. Curmudgeonry Lives!
Hahaha! Truth!
I once told my manager, "My give a damn is broken, and my filters are offline." "and they don't make parts for them anymore."
He has stopped asking my what I think about it anymore...lol
I have an inner monolog, but I don't have a filter.
I'm one of those people who can't even hide what I'm thinking about someone, though.
If you don't want my honest opinion, don't ask me. Lol
I cannot read without hearing the words internally.
I saw one person say they had to whisper as they read due to the lack of monologue
My whole things with reading is it becomes a movie in my brain.
That is a learned trait from bad teaching technique. If you can coach yourself into not reading in your head, your speed of reading will increase automatically by 50%. This is the first rule to learning how to speed read.
@Unmannedair Probably true about the speed, but I think it's way past the point that I could ever change this about myself. I "hear" every thought I ever have, unless it's a visual thought (and my inner eye is also very active).
On the upside, the voice in my head can speak much faster than the mouth can form words, so I'm not a particularly slow reader.
@@2acritter4lifeYes! I both hear it and see it, and let me tell you, the special effects are on point! Lol
I really wish schools would stop allowing kids to use the word "like" 100 times in a 3 word sentence. Seriously, just stop.
I think you meant to say: "Like seriously, just stop."
Like, I know right? Like just like stop it guys like cmon....
Makes for a cool drinking game though.
It saddens me that so many young people sound as if they have brain damage when they compulsively say like all the time.
Filler words are a consequence of opening mouth before formulating considered response. Effectively a useful idiot alert.
I have an internal jukebox.
Same here. Sometimes it even comes with the sloppy drunk sob that plays the same damn song all night. 😆
Mine plays circus music and everything that goes with it when I lay down to sleep
Songs from Rush's Moving pictures got me through basic training back in the day
I can set the radio in my head to shuffle and hear all my favorite songs randomly. sometimes I surprise myself with a song I haven't heard in years.
It's not as good as the real thing though.
Or is it?
When I learnt this, it made TOTAL SENSE. You know, I've lived my life wondering how clueless some are and am baffled by their decision making.
My inner monologue is my decision making process.
When I ask people about their decision making process they usually can't explain it and get upset.
@@danieldaniels7571 Isn't it crazy?! It makes sense why most the people I know just follow what msm journalists say. They have no idea what an original thought is.
Best way to melt their brains is to send them a copy of Lysander Spooners No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority.
It's some of the best thought experiments in them and without pen and paper people with no inner monologue will NEVER be able to communicate a single point made.
It's really necessary reading, or listening.
@@michaelhutchings8599 I don’t think those people read books.
I counted a total of 1,435 times these children said, "like."
Had to turn it off.
Oh please lol. Compared to what I’m used to from this gen, this was nothing
Like, I know, right?
@jamesbizs I'm glad uou can handle it.
@@jamesbizsdo you ever say, "spit it out without the all the stupid "likes"? It makes you sound idiotic?"
It's actually a scientific question to ask "How do these people think?"
Visual pattern recognition, perhaps.
@chrisintoronto7137 visual, audable, and vocal are under the term subvocalization.
@@imuw5408 the last two require words
One of my voices constantly makes fun of me
That's not your voice, that's a demon .
It's right about you.
Poor dissociative identity disorder dude(s)
My imaginary friend hates me....Because the other voices won't talk to ihim.
Make fun of the voice!
i just wish mine would shut up sometimes

She explained the way she sees the shapes of the sentences and that when she writes, the words just pop out. Sounds like a human-level description of the transformers in ChatGPT.
The connectivity matrix in the GPT transformers is modeled after the suspected human thought process. Obviously the human thought process is far more complex and the connectivity matrix can't represent the entire thing. So in short, yes you're correct in your realization
I can think in pictures, feelings, sounds, tastes, and textures. However, thinking in words is the most coherent form of thinking - which is why I mostly think in words. I can’t imagine not being able to organize my thoughts rationally and relying fully on feelings and senses.
I will start off with do not hate me people ! I think in pictures, feelings, sounds, textures and tastes also. I also can think very logically and rational. However putting the later into words can be difficult for me. I do not rely on only feelings but they pop up even if I have made a huge effort in my head ahead of time for them not to pop out. So perhaps what you are describing about how you organize your thoughts is masculane. Perhaps there are some of us that are always going to have issues (females). We are just blessed differently.
Oh shizzle, my grandmother always mumbled when she read and sometimes clear enough that I could almost follow along. I’d say Momaw read that to yourself please and she’d say “I am” lol
If you think then you have an internal monologue!
Sort of...I have an analogy that has helped determine if someone has that monologue.
Watch people drive. There are certain drivers who simply react to their surrounds instead of thinking ahead. They know they need to turn left in a few hundred feet. They are in the right-hand lane. They will suddenly cut across lanes of traffic, other cars will be ignored to get to the left lane. These people simply don't process their future actions.
They do exist. I know a few and I find it fascinating.
@@Uphold-your-RightsThis is a great example. I've observed this many times, now it would be fascinating to correlate it with having an internal monologue.
This makes sense to me. She simply visualizes pictures & patterns rather than thinking in words/monologue. I also think it's probably more efficient as 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' It's like a compressed zip file. Less expansive, thus easier to move around. So a (+) in efficiency, but a (-) in depth/range.
Most of them don't see anything in thier mind, it's like thier subconscious is running the show.
I haven't applied the principle much since I was taught speed-reading in high school. The method involves scanning the text while deliberately NOT mentally forming the words. I was able to get to a pretty impressive WPM speed and still demonstrate 80%+ short term retention. But though I used it a bit into college, eventually I stopped trying to do that. I love reading, and I get more enjoyment with the internal dialog than simply shoveling the text in. Sort of like eating a good meal - if you simply eat as fast as you can, you don't savor the flavor.
Evelyn Woods speed reading course?
Evelyn Woodhead sped redding course
I learned speed reading but I still see all the words, I just see multiple sentences at one time ( about a quarter of a page in a regular paper back) and draw all the important information while I move on to the next section. What really sucks is that's the only thing I can multitask
@@pamcornelius9122 No, for some reason I was taught by a Biology teacher in a course of one, just me. I think my PSAT score singled me out, but I cannot confirm that.
Same here. I can "speed read" (more like skimming) but to get everything out of it, I need to slow down.
Now, we could use altered states of consciousness (light trance/meditative state) where we could get much higher speeds and also high comprehension. There's a reason why our "education" system does not teach such methods, and it's not good...
@@LANCEtheBOIL If you learned to read properly, then it's easy to see and recognize all the words in a paragraph or half a page instantly. However, depending on the sequence and complexity of the material, I need to slow down to get how the ideas or storyline relate.
that young "lady" got my internal monologue going.
it thought "i wonder what would happen if an autonomic nervous system was a person. Is she just a walking limbic system?"
The limbic system is just an extension of the brain where the neurons have been optimized for motor control and function. There are no regions of the brain, that's just an organizational technique for human convenience
@@Unmannedair sensible. I work in a place with crocodiles. They are one giant limbic system. They have no "prefrontal cortex", no real THOUGHT, just stimulus/response.
Then i realize, after gazing at a crocodile, that i look at otehrs today, adn they all look...like crocodiles. No "prefrontal cortex" no cognition...just "stimulus/response"
60% of the entire population are soulless mindless drones of flesh. This is the part no one wants to talk about. Many are actual clones, made to be mentally controlled by the airwaves of radio TV and the propaganda of movies and music. This is why 65% of the public actually thinks Biden is doing a good job and have Trump Derangement Syndrome without even knowing why.
Not only do I constantly talk to myself internally, but I will supply internal dialog for every person connected to the conversation, past or present. It's exhausting really.
Ive heard it described as feeling stuff without internally verbalizing it. Imagine a psychopath with no monologue, he really would be like a robot
It would be interesting to see if sociopaths or psychopaths are more likely or less likely to have an internal monologue. It probably depends on if they are trying to mask or not. I don't think you could effectively mask without an internal monologue.
Your inner monologue is literally thinking......
You need to have an internal monologue for deep self reflection and thinking. But also know when to get out of your head and be in the moment so you don't get stuck on analysis paralysis. Mastery is probably knowing how to utilize both in the right circumstances.
I refuse to believe that there are people without internal monologues. How can they function?
Exactly. She cannot form thoughts.
They become reactionary instead of preventitive.
They’re mindless automatons
You may have just won me over... I'm still on the idea this is b.s. other than this chick wanting to feel special. But maybe this explains females and leftists. No thought. Just reaction and emotions.
We think without the limitations of the words. In my case, I have noticed that I don't dwell on the past nor have anxiety over the future, but live in the present.
“See lists of things to do”
That’s an internal monologue
No problem
after everyone gets the Chip you will all have an internal monologue
the same one
i did monologue that just in my head
I can’t fathom how some people don’t have any thoughts in their heads. It’s just unbelievable. I think they are making it up just for attention.
100% agree with you
She's so full of it.
Agreed
She came close to admitting she hears the words in her head, but held her tongue
I think in words and sentences all the time. I spend an awful lot of time alone, and it’s all that I can do to avoid any type of inner monologue. I couldn’t imagine not talking to myself, at least silently. I do realize that we have thoughts that occur in a flash that don’t involve words, but the minute that I choose to dwell on that thought, it gets mentally translated into words and sentences.
You could ask these individuals "what did you do?", but not "what were you thinking?".
No considered action, no moral agency, no conscience . . . .
Psychopaths
I just found out recently that people can picture things in their head with their eyes closed.
I feel like ive been ripped off.
I cant even imagine what its like to see something inside your head.
EDIT: Tried to answer everyone's questions. Hope it made sense .....
Do you have dreams?
We don't even have to close our eyes.
Really that’s crazy to me. How do you locate something you’ve lost? Like you don’t picture the last place you may have left your keys and/or recall in your mind picture what’s on a shelf you stocked without being in front of it or do you just see it differently? I’m not trying to be rude at all I’m just curious.
When you read a story you don’t create pictures or like a movie in your head? Like the scene never builds or something…do you see words? I didn’t realize not everyone can do that
I imagine this gives a similar feeling I had once I realized that some people...
Cannot seem to detect a joke...
It sounds like she does have a kind of inner monolog. Instead of "hearing" thoughts, she "sees" thoughts.
Like a visual instead of verbal memory
Monolog would imply speech, though. And that's the point: you can't have as full/coherent conversation with just pictures...
That sounds about right.
@AmericanNationalist852 Try it. You might like it.
But she also said she doesn’t daydream. Sounds like she doesn’t think at all.
My highly intelligent husband told me that people assumed he was a deep thinker, but actually he was usually thinking about nothing.
That is just being a guy.
I've always found it fascinating how differently people's minds work as well. When I was an instructor, I was always intrigued by the different ways my students assimilated and used information.

Dark Triad personality disorder - good morning.
I would normally comment on something like this, but my inner dialog keeps interrupting me.
I have no inner monologue, but i am constantly thinking AMA
She's pretending to be a genius savant or something.
I wonder if she's an only child... ?
You can't have a Psychic connection with your Weenerdog.
Try to master both in your mind. Clear the noise and enter a state of knowing, somehow rolling a voice and silence into the same thing. Its hard to paint a picture of what im trying to describe, but its a meditation thing. My monologue wont leave me alone most the time.
First they told us that men think of the Roman Empire several times a week and now we learn that there is another human species living among us. Crazy timeline.
So far the only people I've seen that don't have inner monologs are women
What other species of human? I wonder if I am living with one of them.
@@LANCEtheBOIL I had the same impression but with Elijah Schaffer we have proof that it's not only women and left-wing people. Too bad, this would have explained so much.
Mr. Reagan so I can keep trying to save the world...
My motto Saving the world by Lunchtime.......it's taking me longer than I anticipated.
🤣🤣🤣 True
I discovered this a year or two ago. Then I spent a week thinking about it nonstop (in my inner monologue, of course). I just cannot grasp NOT having an internal monologue.
How do you not have an inner monologue? I can’t even go grocery shopping without mine making my decisions . This can’t be real
Imagine not having the cartoonish angelical and devilish versions of yourself in combination with the neutral voice that is yourself as you are
Of course this is a short coming!!! Being ABLE to not do it, would be a positive. Never being able to do it, is absolutely a shortcoming!!!
Just meditate for 6 - 12 months, after that tell your mind "I know" whenever an invasive thought arises, you will soon be aware without thinking.
Wait, i was just talking to myself, having an argument when i clicked. was distracted, what's this all about now? 😂
God bless the NPCs
I kinda wonder if the inner monologue is related to the soul. Are there people who don’t have one? It’s an interesting topic.
Maybe a "severed conscience", more likely, than no soul? conscience = con science = with knowledge (of the Laws of CREATOR written in the heart sometimes accepting sometimes condemning the action or "next thing to say") ??
She's just a high functioning visual learner. A couple of years back i attended a conference about deaf-blindness and a question that the instructor asked is, are you a visual learner or auditory learner. Meaning what kind of learning do you facilitate faster. The majority of us are a little bit of both but in cases where a lot hearing and vision loss it differs. I don't think good nor bad, she just process visually information faster. That's good question to ask if you are more an auditory learner or visual it helps you become less frustrated in processing information.
Having pictures in your head IS an inner monologue! A monologue is just us communicating with ourselves in a way to plan for each new immediate moment. Some people communicate with words some with pictures
No that's her thoughts process
Mine won't shut the hell up and give me a moments peace.
Sounds like a defect
It feels like this is rooted in some misunderstanding of what "talking to yourself in your head" means. Surely everyone thinks in words once they speak a language, not all the time but certainly they have to be capable of it.
I used to have more of an internal monologue but now it's less. It's not that I don't process, I simply proces differently and, I think, better. Judging by the way many people talk, it seems like their internal monologue is mere chatter.
No it's a conversation trying to figure things out, like when someone is talking to you and you hear what they are saying ,processing it while trying to figure out if they are reetarded or not
My internal monologue sometimes tells me puns
If I am thinking about something that is obviously word based, like an argument for some proposition, it will be a monologue of words. If thinking about a design for something that I am going to build, or solving a problem in that realm, it will consist of thinking in pictures.
Years ago someone wrote a short article about thinking, and made the point that the kind of thinking that comedians (funny ones) do is the same sort of thinking that is used for problem solving. This is why it is always best to have a good laugh and make jokes about something bad that happens, so that the brain is then primed to solve the problem.
Watching Netflix?
I rest my case.
You can learn to have and use an internal dialogue, it's fairly easy actually. In my teens and into my twenties I taught myself to do both, talking internally to organize and focus to become more skillful working, then shutting up when it was bedtime! It just takes a little practice.
I believed so differently than everyone else I knew and talked to after reading the Bible four times from Genesis to Revelations. Sunday school teachers and pastors of believed opposite of what I thought that the scriptures were saying. Instead of telling people what I believed I decided it'd be easier to just say I was an atheist. Except I'm a very honest person. I don't usually lie I usually answer the question with a question or deceive using the truth. So in PE in Junior high when a girl asked me if I believed in God and I said I'm an atheist, there was a male voice that said "No, you're not!" so loud, I looked around to see who all heard it. I really thought she heard it, too. But, she just turned and walked away. I think it was the Holy Spirit. 🕊️ 🙏
And yes, I did apologize to the girl later and explained to her, why I had lied.
'monologue'? armatures, i have an internal dialogue!
Can't even fathom not having an inner monologue. I can talk to my mind, I can see images, smells, tastes, go some fancy thought experiments, etc.
No wonder so many people cannot think for themselves. They're simply not capable of it.
I have an inner Monologue that some times my higher being interrupts 😆 while awake or in my dreams .
The language you were thought is the very essence of the spell you are under. Do not be deceived by this trickery. The wicked one is waiting to devour at the show of weakness.
I found it very fascinating as well. I think more study has be done to see if there is any kind of correlation between people who lack an internal monologue and certain behavioral or intellectual traits.
Chris, you said that you can't think without using words. Sometimes I get in a state of mind, when I'm resting, and my mind will go from one image to another like some kind of creature that is constantly morphing from one thing to another and it can be the most random things like... I don't know a clown turning into a candle and then the candle becoming the Sun. I would try just to think of random images like that.
Edit: It dawned on me that Mom and I are different intellectually and after talking to her I'm almost convinced she doesn't have an inner monologue. She said she doesn't hear conversations with people and it makes so much sense because we clash so much on thinking through things.
This is a fascinating subject. I was given the test and realized that this issue is a subjective / objective answer based on personal understanding of the question. No matter how hard I tried- I could not provide a voice or lack of one unless I was doing focused, non-muscle memory activities. Thanks Chris
I have dialogue running in my head all day. I have to actively stop myself when conversing with others or I won't even hear them.
A large part of drawing is executed without words, thinking spatial and volumetric, but also very critically and rational. Even more mind blowing is that there are successful concept artist who have no "minds eye", total inability to visualize.
Yes, not everyone talks to themselves. We aren’t all completely NoitZ!😆🤨🙏😑🥦
Morning Chris.
It feels like both blessing and curse once you know it is not universal.
I've know of this for a long time, and it's never gotten less scary.
There are people that cannot visualize images in their head as well
IMO: The ideal mind has both, with the visual track slightly dominant.
"Mr. Reagan", your videos are works of art.
I estimate your I.Q. at 150 minimum, you have musical ability and you like poetry. You may have engineering skills.
Fascinating.
I am thinking ALL the time, so much I remember as a kid deliberately trying to stop my thoughts because I noticed some people don't do it, I noticed some people do not think.
Glad i read a lot 😅
Currently reading Fellowship of the Ring, Tomboy, Hard wired, finished Neuromancer awhile ago 😅
I can’t imagine not being able to have dialogs in your head. I’ve always had a vivid imagination, so keeping a conversation going in my head has never been a problem. Bonus!! I’m also bilingual, English/Spanish, so I’ll switch dialects in an imagined conversation…I tend to do this when answering the phone; there are phone pitchmen who think two men live in my house, some American dude and his cousin from Nicaragua and the cousin’s really annoying. This is why for over 30 years I haven’t owned a television, who needs one. Hahaha 😂
Actually, I have an internal dialogue.
I honestly can't wrap my head around this (lol, irony). If they don't have an internal monologue, what the hell is happening in their brains?
Is she LEFT-HANDED?
Im constantly thinking and debating inside my mind. Im also a musician and that is done a lot in my head to i hear musicians use both sides of their brain for problem solving etc
I have trouble understanding this as well.. for example you are in class and the teacher is discussing a topic and a question pops up in your head so you raise your hand to ask... how do you relay that question internally before asking aloud?
I think you sort of have to form it as you go, they sort of have the unformed thought and structure it in real time as they ask
The fact that so many of us are shocked to find this out probably means its not very common...
I wear my sunglasses at night so I can so I can watch you weave and breathe your story lines
Have you ever heard of a beautiful curse? my brain does not shut off. it's nearly impossible unless i hyper focus on a task, and even then it's for 2 seconds. here and there. How she is the one extreme, he is normal, for me it is the other extreme. i even think and analyze about the fact that i'm being self aware and thinking. it never stops. i've been awake twice as much as normal, my whole life. it's more rare to sleep 2 nights in a row, than not. for 7 days i'll sleep 3 or 4 of the nights. if it's 2 nights in a row sleep, it's a few hours only after exhaustion and grinding. escapism is the only way to survive it. i wish i could turn it off sometimes.
True, btw, love your gear,
This is scary…
Advantage. Definitely.
😂😂😂I’m stuck in scenario mode‼️
Wow... I've never heard of this. My mins is constant stream of internal monologues
I don't believe these people
I think they do have an inner monologue but they just don’t understand what an inner monologue is.
Or just ignores it.
I agree. It does not seem possible to me. Like the guy in the video said. I'm constantly reliving past mistakes or conversations. Torturing myself all the time.
The word is " dissatisfying ".
Listening on how our brains work picking up a ball while rolling a joint 🤯
Words v pictures, such an interesting topic. The brain is such a mystery. I saw a documentary about a genius who thought in pictures. He may have been a savant as well, I don’t remember. But he learned Icelandic in one week. One of the most difficult languages for a non-native to learn. He saw numbers in colors and could phenomenal calculations in his mind. Amazing!
Nothing a brain chip wouldn’t fix… right?
😂😂😂
This is a great case study. How do people not have an internal monologue?
I can think either way at will. I can very easily and clearly imagine things and scenarios in my head without words at all, and then I can apply the words to them if/when I'm ready. Sometimes when I think, the images can guide the words, while other times the words first guide the images that I see. there's no one set way that I do it, and I had no idea that there was even a real distinction to be made between the two things. honestly I don't think there is, because words are just the tags that belong to things. The words are transient, because different places use different words for the same things. so the word associated with a thing is kind of like a part of the thing, but is an unnecessary part unless you're trying to communicate to another person.
I have no internal monologue. discussed this with my wife and therapist. My therapist was glad I figured it out as it helps knowing something about how you think and communicate. My wife has one, and it's fascinating learning how she thinks. I'm in the moment all the time, so I hate to reread things i wrote because it never sounds like me. When I think it's like picking from the thousands of words flying out of a filing cabinet in my mind to put into speach. I try to stay quiet if I dont automatically know something because I'm likely to blurt out and speak without thinking. It's like 30 people in my head giving me stuff to say and if I dont take time and mull over the best ones I will just say whatever comes out in the moment before i think about what i just said. Im surprised how much comes out before it feels like I've even had the thought the words represent.
