I wonder how common it is?
Makes you wonder how many people go through life mindless and soulless, and how that breaks down by race, class, sex, etc.
I was thinking that people were like this by default. Now that we know, we should try to awaken more to this “skill”.
i ve seen a study about it wich says most people don t have inner voice.
i hope you will enjoy it:

Oh, he probably moved away from Toronto.
It does not fucking say or imply that at all. God DAMN you people have the worst fucking reading comprehension. The study gave 30 people pagers which randomly went off a few times a day, and people had to report what they were doing at that time. Some of the participants never reported doing "inner speech' at the time the beepers went off. That doesn't mean they don't do inner speech, it means they weren't at the handful of random times they were asked. Obviously, based on this plebbit post, some people don't engage in language-based thought, but that's an incredibly small fraction of a percent.
If you actually look at the study - and not the shitty PsychToday article - you'd see that the vast majority of people in the study (which is only 30 people, mind you) reported "inner speech" at least one time. So the study said that "inner speech" was reported about 25% of the times the beeper went off, on average, and you retards interpret that as only 25% of people having inner speech. Fucking retards.
I don't go into inner speech mode unless I am either thinking through ideas that need language to be explained, or when I have something complex to do and I have to work out something line by line.
Most of the time when I am driving or working it's mostly being here, concentrating on my work, having flashes of sentences, songs, smells, sights, vague abstract concepts and emotions float through my mind.
"People with mental retardation may also engage in criminal behavior because of their characteristically poor impulse control, difficulty with long-term thinking, and difficulty handling stressful and emotionally fraught situations. They may not be able to predict the consequences of their acts or resist a strong emotional response.[42] The homicides committed by people with mental retardation acting alone are almost without exception unplanned, spur of the moment acts of violence in the context of panic, fear, or anger, often committed when another crime, such as a robbery, went wrong. For example, William Smith, I.Q. 65, tried to take money from "old Dan," a friendly elderly storekeeper he had known all his life. When Dan resisted, Smith panicked and lashed out, killing him.[43]"
[42] See Luckasson, "The Death Penalty and the Mentally Retarded".
[43] Reed, Penry Penalty, p. 17. On appeal, Smith's confession and waiver of Miranda rights were ruled invalid because of his mental retardation.
I had no idea some people are by default like that. I just thought that this was a lower-level of thinking that happens in everyone for things that require fewer brain resources, and it's meant to be like that - to save on brainpower or some shit.
Apparently, some people go through their entire life like this? How? How?!
Also - Westworld - the T.V show - no matter what you think of it - I think it actually explains this exact thing. How machines gain sentience and the one thing that makes them… fully human is 'gaining their own voice').
Calm the fuck down incel
This bullshit again.
