To elaborate on your statement, we all think in very different ways. Recently there was an academic test posted here that evaluated “how” a person thinks (internal monologue, use of images, how memories are recalled, etc.). After my girlfriend and I both took the test and I saw how differently we both think, I was shocked. Had we not taken this quiz I’d have assumed the inside of her mind fundamentally worked the same way as mine does. But that is seemingly very far from the truth.
As where I can visualize, use internal monologue, vividly recall my memories, etc. at will, by default I do none of the above, and my thoughts are opaque to me. For her, she almost exclusively uses her internal monologue when thinking, and her entire thought process is consciously visible to her. It’s entirely conceivable that other people might not have an experience of “consciousness” resembling anything like what my idea of consciousness is.
