I don’t have an inner monologue, and here’s how it works. Thinking happens in a sort of “thought language,” which is much faster than normal language.

I don’t understand how internal monologues work. If you’re waiting for thoughts to be expressed one word at a time, that seems…slow?

Introspection is still possible because it is indeed possible to replay conversations. It’s just that we’re not limited to *only* conversation-formatted thoughts.
