Even older than that
- Comment on Why do we have an internal monologue? 5 months ago:
Hm, interesting.
I can also have images when trying to figure certain things. For example, if I’m moving then I will have images of where to place boxes and furniture in the truck or in the apartment, but these images are typically combined with words like “if I put this here, then…” Or if I’m trying to remember where I put something then it’s memory combined with “after I got home I…”
In fact, the easier a problem is, the fewer words I use. But when something is really stumping me, the words are more prevalent. And angrier. More like “This doesn’t make sense! If the positive and negative are both connected then power should flow through. Maybe this f*cking thing is broken”
- Comment on Why do we have an internal monologue? 5 months ago:
My experience is the same as yours. I have an inner monologue, but it is not constant. My thoughts do not always come in the form of words.
In fact, I would say that wordless thoughts are my default and the IM comes when I am trying to figure something out.

Volvo has really improved their styling in recent years, IMHO. We bought an XC40 last year and so far we love it.

Woah, man it’s cool, I believe you. No need to threaten me with a trip to CVS.

Oxygenation may be a concern, depending on how winded you get. I’m not saying that you’ll pass out or anything so dramatic, but studies have shown that even mild hypoxia can effect our ability to make complex decisions, which may be an issue when biking in traffic.

Yeah, I understand that it was a legitimate issue for some industries, but at the social level people were saying that all of the world’s nuclear weapons would launch simultaneously and we would enter a post-nuclear apocalypse. At some point a legitimate issue was inflated into a doomsday hoax.

I grew up in Florida and anytime there was a hurricane coming people would flock to the stores and buy all the generators and bottled water.
It was kind of like that, but in December.
Most people I knew personally legit just ignored it. It was just another doomsday hoax like the Mayan calender scare of 2012. Everybody was talking about it, but nobody actually thought it would be an issue.
