    I mean, 50% of humanity doesn’t have an inner monologue- they’re essentially just moving from one impulse to another.

    Half of everyone. There’s no chance for this species without radical change.

      xkcd - Idiocracy

      For god’s sake – people who don’t hear their own voice in their own head are “just moving from one impulse to another”? People require an inner monologue, as opposed to seeing things in their imagination or what have you, in order to be capable of conscious thought? Are we seriously at the point where we’re saying “anyone who doesn’t experience the world the same way I do is no better than an animal”?
