Do you ever watch a movie/event or listen to music and notice you're not internally narrating what's happening because you're so engrossed in the action? Voila

Voila, consciousness without the inner monologue.
- navane 2y agoIn one way, that sounds like more consciously present, in the other way it sounds like less. You are more here and now as you lack distracting commentary, or are you more here if you sit and ponder it?
- nprateem 2y agoThe fact it's possible to not ponder shows consciousness doesn't depend on pondering. I can't see how distracting yourself with something else (thoughts) could make you more conscious.
