I’m just a layman, but from the little I’ve read, the way people think is incredibly diverse. Vast majority of people think in some combination of words, images, speech and concepts but most people have a “primary” thinking method. Some people think only in speech, some only in text, some only in images, etc but they’re the minority.
Chads like myself remember thinking in the original language before that whole tower nonsense. Then two idiots kept speaking to me in English and I forgot the first language
I’ve had a voice babbling away in my head since I was four. Most of the time it says the stupidest stuff and then calls itself stupid for saying that stuff
There was this one time as a teenager I meditated so hard I somehow shut off my inner monologue and got to experience my thoughts directly, at least until I realized what I was seeing and got excited enough to disrupt the precarious meditative state that got me there. Never managed to replicate it since then.
Do most people not, then?
