Most people who make this observation imply that people without an internal monologue are retarded or something, but that's not the case. They still have thoughts, it just works differently. Whereas I might think "I want some sushi", they'll visualize sushi, a 'mental video' of them eating sushi, or feel the desire for sushi matched with imagery. There are thought to be numerous different types of 'thinkers' and I doubt one is inherently better than another. I had a room-mate in college who has aspergers and couldn't make images in his head or visualize anything. He's an electrophysiologist now, which is a type of medical doctor sort of like a cardiologist that specializes in rhythm. Was brilliant but couldn't write for shit

Maybe at times, but there’s no way someone can go their entire life without holding at least 1 word in their head for a moment. I just can’t believe that…
