This is weird...I do have a "mental voice" - which is reading out as I'm typing this sentence. But i never had an actual conversation going on with myself that I can think of... Is that a thing?
Sometimes, I can think of a series of logical steps needed to get something done. Like, okay: so, to build this feature, we'd need this and that and next something else.
But it's always a rational thinking process, not a "conversation"...
- omega3 4y agoThis is interesting, I have the same experience as you and have never even heard of this inner voice people have before opening the Reddit link.
- mach1ne 4y agoCan you emulate personalities? Can you, for example, ask Elon Musk for an opinion on something you're currently working on? If you can, a routine discussion with internal monologue is most likely more of a habit than a neurological feature.
- 4mitkumar 4y agoInteresting approach... Just tried it (Elon and Obama) and failed. I could visualise them, tried to think what they would think, but pretty much that.
- layer8 4y agoI don’t think it’s a conversation as in a dialogue, it’s rather a monologue. But since you “hear” the monologue, you think about what you hear, and that thinking doesn’t necessarily become part of the monologue (not immediately and directly), so the thinking and the monologue tend to bounce of each other to some degree.
