Talking isn't exactly analogous to inner dialogue, since it comes from a different center and is foreign, learned as one matures and models oneself in society, but this guy is a good visual example of that level of manic internal chatter.

There are speedreading techniques where you absorb the word layout visually and stop trying to pronounce every word in your head - reading gestalts of words. You can try it with that video by turning on captions & setting the speed to 2x.
Check.
And I messed up the text. It should have read as - "Inner dialogue isn't exactly analogous to talking, since it comes from a different center and is foreign, and is learned as one matures and models oneself in society, but this guy is a good visual example of a comparable level of manic internal chatter."
It's certainly an insult to the construct that is the internal dialogue, to know that we can speak much faster than it can "think."
And without an internal dialogue butting in, at the speed demonstrated in that video. It literally couldn't get a word in edgewise!
It's the focus that it takes to have that kind of a speaking output, and with material that was written to boot, that would prevent internal dialogue rumination.
More proof that the internal dialogue is not, in any way, as smart as it assumes it is...
Good point, I'm glad this is in the history. The internal dialogue does NOT decide what you will say next.
It's pretty much only good for going over things until you trigger an idea. Repeating them until the actual intelligence in us, comes up with something new.
Which is not caused by the internal dialogue. It just keeps our attention focused on it, until something kind of like Silent Knowledge presents an "idea".
It's also good for keeping track of lists, except that seer would just visibly see the list in the air in front of them.
It's just too much skill for people to use in the blue line reality, so that repeating lists in your head is one useful thing the internal dialogue can do.
It just gets stuck repeating lists of our grievances all the time.
I think this could all be animated so as to be easily understood!
Maybe we'll have "the world's fastest talker" visit Grian at his library.
Which will trigger some kind of lecture on the internal dialogue and how that man's ability proves the internal dialogue isn't causing us to speak.
The most bizarre belief of all of course, is to believe that the internal dialogue is our thought process...
It's just a tiny little annoying parasite attached to our actual thought process!
As if Salacious (the Kowakian monkey-lizard), were actually Jabba the Hutt.
