@Deleted User we come down harder on that

Gosh no, I'm not a robot @Nemets

@Nemets that would be a bit much

NPC?

I mean, that line of thought could appear in a situation in which second thoughts came up, and I needed to justify an action to myself with morals or something

Words and language are inefficient ways to process thought, they just happen to be one of the better ways to communicate them

yeah, good take

It's important to understand thoughts came before words existed

and THOTs came before thoughs

I think the internal monologue thing is just us practicing our words in our head

@Deleted User that sounds right

idk my internal monolouge isn't a whole lot about words as it is about concepts

is a dream a narrative or dialoge?

It's something which only kicks in for higher levels of thinking

@Nemets It's not *just* that

Just now I wonder if size of a group's vocabulary is related to their ability to form a variety of concepts.

er, idk If higher levels is the rightway to compartmentalize that, but it's a type of something

yeah thats wrong

g'night guys, interesting convo

good night

The emotion happens in an instant and we have to try and hold it in memory in order to try to rationalize it with language

I would say my internal monologue includes:
Playing out how I would say things
Imagining hypothetical situations
Commenting on stuff to myself

How you would say things Hypothetical situations is the worst

many sleepless nights

Mine is:
choreographing a fictional world
music
laughing at a meme I looked at a week ago
thinking about how I would sneak to someplace

nah playing out *past* conversations is worse

Ooh interesting thought, does @Nemets keep himself up at night with his thoughts going wild?

my head throws away conversations, nothing but a lot of frustration in them usually, rofl

wow

Same. Or shivering.

I have trouble going to sleep every night

same

I just wait until there's no more night, works like a charm!

lols

I tell myself to shutup every five minutes lol

begging my brain for sleep some nights

Some.

Mine are too crazy, usually taking place as some adventure I'm having on a cruise ship of sorts, or as someone else, in some location I don't recognize

I remember them less and less as I get older

I love remembering dreams

they're so weird
