If you like international and eclectic news, come and join me at @worldwithoutus (Link for Lemmy = worldwithoutus).
I’ve also started helping out at @worldnews, (Link for Lemmy = worldnews), @movies, (Lemmy = movies), and am a ghost at @13thfloor (Lemmy = 13th Floor).
Thanks, that makes sense! But I don’t understand how that could fit in temporally? Like, wouldn’t you have already got halfway through the possible investment overview while you were still talking? Or is it more that you’re doing both at once?
It sort of sounds like yoi do it as a way of externalizing the questions, like it’s a different part of your brain or your brain wants to make it clear to you that the question process is different from the answer process.
To me a question feels like knowing there’s something behind my occipital bone and sensing it moving forward towards my eyes. So it’s not verbalised but it’s definitely a separate feeling.
Exactly, it’s like not being able to fast travel in a game.
I like tiktok for non talky stuff like those 10 second videos of a fox walking along or something.
I can see that could have that effect! I pretty much need it for typing, it’s like an act of translation. I have to write a lot for work or I probably wouldn’t have started doing it that way.
If someone is talking or the radio is on when I type I will accidentally include some of the words from those sources.
I didn’t express it very well - I meant basic proprioception, which most people have. We need it for things like walking or lifting a cup to our mouths.
What I’m getting from this thread is that almost everyone thinks their own cognitive process is easier and less annoying.
Which makes sense, because thinking is one of those things where people naturally just do it the most efficient way for their own neural structures.
I can taste in my head but there’s a limited range of what I can smell in my head.
Like, the smell of chocolate or wet dog or chanel no 5, no problem. The smell of my mother’s house or a meadow on a sunny day, very vague and uncertain.
Have to admit the number of people in here with full internal voices has made me realize why podcasts and long videos of youtubers talking are so popular.
I hate them because it’s like spending 10 minutes to be drip fed 1 minute’s worth of information.
How do you read silently to yourself? Seems like it would be harder and more noisy if you have to hear the whole thing.
Me too. People like you are fascinating to me. When I first found out that everyone thinks differently I went around interrogating everyone I knew about how they think.
I don’t have an interior monologue unless Im typing, but I sometimes use my internal “sound system” to play music.
@southsamurai did the above comment make sense?
It’s hard because we have to translate it to get it across -for me it feels a bit like being asked how do you know where your arms are relative to your body.
Don’t hear anything like “shit, that’s a lot of money?! Where to start, where to start…”
No and it’s amazing to me that you’d even be able to think of it in 20 seconds with all that chatter in your brain.
As I was reading your comment I could sort of hear parts of that, because it’s you “speaking” to me, but as soon as I saw it the $10,000 imediately became a sort of conceptual bundle located in front of me, the 24h was like a moving spatial cycle thing and my brain was plotting possibilities based on how far I would have to travel (the ones falling inside the cycle are the do-able ones) and locating a whole lot of stuff branching out from my computer with short action times.
Also my brain had immediately reached to the right hand middle distance which is where it “keeps” investment advice. It had a quick dart to the far away centre-left and I had a flash/photorealistic image of home furnishings out there but rejected instantly as the tangled sense of moving parts between me and it meant the process toward them is complex and would take up too much of the 20 second processing time to even see if they would fit in the 24h cycle.
I don’t think cognitive processing without words is necessarily more abstract.
Arguably if you’re processing concepts such as relative geographical location or how to cook a steak, spatial processing is at far less of a remove than converting it all over to words/symbols.
For the longest time I assumed it was just a literary device, not an actual thing anyone really does.
Ikr, it’s wild. I don’t think I could cope with something like that.
downvotes go everywhere
Unless you’re in kbin.social, which doesn’t federate downvotes.
That said it’s still handy for other kbin users and a good indication that it’s been reported already.
Too much of a leap.
The idea that everyone who says down with a regime is willing to kill people over it, doesn’t really hold water for me.
Well, I looked into it and found credible sources that support
@AllNewTypeFace’s claim, so I’m going to believe them.
Thanks, have updated my link.
