> You mean people think in some sort of embedded signal in their brains that they then turn into language? T What would be the point of turning it into language internally? When you get up out of your chair, are you thinking "Mecha Robot Legs activate!" or something? The trouble here is that until I just now said that, you thought your counter-argument sounded intelligent. Enough so that you doubled down on it and were sarcastic about it.

>What would be the point of turning it into language internally? Shorter pathway from thinking to writing or speaking. I don't have an inner monologue, and I do feel cognitive load in trying to express my thoughts that I don't think people with an inner monologue experience. I can 'see' something in my mind, but I need to actively search for words that correspond to that, since transferring an image or a 'concept graph' is impossible to do via speech and difficult to do with pencil and paper.
