~50% of people don’t have an inner monologue. do you? when does it happen, or is it 24/7?

imo, this can’t be true. everyone has an inner monologue, which is the ego focused on survival. it processes this through constant evaluation. its evolutionary function. how you direct /relate to it is a different matter, usually one of deliberate practice. michael singer, or loch kelly’s work for more about this

This + the responses are fascinating. You should read ‘The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind’ by Julian Jaynes. Absolutely revolutionary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origin_of_Consciousness_in_the_Breakdown_of_the_Bicameral_Mind

FYI you can remove or enhance your inner monologue. It’s something you have control over through mental training.

100/100! it’s like a radio sometimes, but i’ve intentionally set up channels and specific body postures for different types of dialogue modes. the mind and body connection is so crucial.

24/7/365 and at multiple levels. I don't have an "inner eye" so everything is verbal descriptions and kinaesthetic, eg navigation is a verbal description and a sense of movement.

No inner monologue here. My experience consists of impressions, associations, scenes, emotions, compulsions, etc. Expressing all that in language would be lossy and slow!

I have zero inner monologue ama. It's mostly just abstractions, logic, pictures, concepts, and feelings.
