given how weird metaphors to describe thoughts can be, i'm skeptical of any reports of how ppl think

some examples: i'm always "thinking" but it's not words several levels of "realness" of voices don't think "in" terms of any sense

when you ask ppl how they think, are they "actually" telling you? or are they translating it? (is there a difference?)

if i focus hard i can bring myself to almost hallucinate audio -- but that's not what i usually mean when i say "voices" in my head!

yes - most of these folk ideas about inner life or phenomenology breakdown when you *really* analyze them - I suspect ‘inner monologue’ is just another of them

the classic example is how majority of people used to claim they dreamed in back and white, now majority claim they dream in color

truth is dreams are neither color nor black and white, we just use different metaphors

we have more or less agreed upon cultural framework to describe our mental phenomena but these concepts rarely are better than very crude metaphors

another example is that almost all humans possess rudimentary echolocation when asked to complete tasks requiring it - it’s just not a sense we culturally introspect on
