Interesting reference, will check it out! Yeah I think that’s an important distinction — although some sort of personal self-aware moment-to-moment “judgement” or “affection” or “ego” or whatever is essential to human cognition, it’s far from the only thing going on. I can see monologue being too directly linguistic and literal, point taken — perhaps “thread” is more general. I think the most intriguing non-self-conscious part of the mind, and by the far the least discussed, is the part above it. Direct or not, I think everyone gets prompted and cajoled by some… other. Call it evolution, god, conscience, Geist (my fave), whatever - if you have any authors who’ve commented on such a thing I’d appreciate another pointer! Basically, I’m referring to the Bicameral Mind https://youtu.be/fs9Wyuub3jY?si=qriqTjWioiZoncui https://youtu.be/fs9Wyuub3jY?si=qriqTjWioiZoncui
