Considering some more, this is actually a really bad metaphor. There is no 1:1 correspondence between thoughts and emotions.

What's the counterexample for an emotion without any thought?

that's like asking "point to part of canvas with no paint on it" Background emotional texture is continuous. Thought is discrete.

A simple example is a baby in pre-verbal state. Cries/smiles randomly in response to sensory and memory processes

Thought: Deliberate mental or physical operations with meaning-objects (words, images, sounds, electronic components...)

To map "sound" to "offensive statement" is an act of thinking, whether it happens at once, or after tossing some words in your head.

I think you're using a metaphor peculiar to the way you think. "Speaking in head=echo in thought" is not everybody's experience

I think the variance is 1000x higher than people suspect. Synesthesia, aphantasia etc are just tip of iceberg
