I have the same feeling, it makes me feel better to know I'm not alone in madness ;)
I have a reminiscence of a time when that did not occur, when I was a small child ideas would not be followed by the inner monologue. I guess that's a trade off : verbalising ideas help to flesh them out and detect inconsistencies but it comes at a price of inefficiency.
- catshirt 9y agothe other price is creativity. some ideas don't translate well- or can't translate to English. when logic and language becomes your core cognitive filtering mechanism, you start filtering "nonsense", as defined within the formal constraints of logic and language.
- branchless 9y agoYes I think as a child I was more instinctive, the wall between my subconscious and conscious was more permeable. Now everything has to be handed to the go-between that is my monologue and into the conscious. This is why I love playing soccer. You just allow your brain to express its ideas physically, there is no time for intermediation.
