The verbalized "thoughts" come after the fact. They thought already exists and then you put it into words to yourself. The verbalization can be confused for thinking.
- BizarroLand 4y agoThis is a good point. I bet a lot of people who assume that since they process their thoughts verbally in their head that all of their thoughts are word based, but there had to be some function under that stringing the words together to express the thoughts verbally. It would be like your Operating System thinking that it performed the computations it needed to show this web browser on your screen without the help of the CPU.
