Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought

- bmacho 1 year agoI don't like my inner monologue. It does all the talk, but it is obviously not 'me', not the 'me' that for example moves my muscles.
Also my best thinkings are done by something else, shower thinkings when the best ideas just appear, or very fast high adrenaline thinking during competitive sports. Weirdly they are on the opposite ends. But what's common, is that they are not done by the inner monologue. (Only the regular thinking, so most of the cases basically.)
