@metin i know you're just joking around but...

i just found out about anendophasia, people without an inner voice

they think, without an inner voice

"i think, therefore i am"

becomes

... ... ... ...

but it's the same thing

that blows my mind- my inner voice momentarily shuts up in awe

@benroyce @metin That's my wife. She only realised that other people have an inner monologue a year or so ago. Imagine that.

She also can't 'picture' things in her head.

@BonehouseWasps @benroyce Intriguing. Life moves in mysterious ways.

@BonehouseWasps @metin

amazing. i don't want to be intrusive and ask a million personal probing questions. it's just that her inner life is so different from many

@benroyce @metin I've been fascinated by her journey of discovery on this and the chats we've had about it. I've come to realise that what we think of as common experience, in terms of brain/mind function is actually highly individualised.

@BonehouseWasps @benroyce Absolutely. The human brain is as complex as the universe, and therefore as varied.
