I'm confident that a lot of the research into this relies on people misunderstanding the question. It's not a separate voice in your head talking to you, it's just you thinking in words and sentences.

That’s crazy. My inner voice even makes me laugh. Like out loud when they tell me a joke from time to time. 😭

Sounds peaceful. My narrator never shuts up.

I think there is a disturbing trend of dehumanizing other people and thinking of them as NPCs. This type of thinking can have some really dangerous repercussions

I suspect you missed the point.. There are people that think without language. It's much to inefficient. Both in terms of speed as well as complexity. Language is a communication mechanism meant to travel between humans. Thinking is much, much more

Do you know how much better sleep I’d have if I had that condition ??😭

If it were 75%, wouldn’t the article headline read “25% report hearing voices”?

It's just weird that people have no inner voice. What's going on up there then?

Nothing Much Happens Podcast :

I get there is a lot of tongue in cheek here, but as someone with no inner monologue, I’m baffled as to why that would mean I don’t experience thoughts and anxieties. Did no one like me speak to any of these researchers? Is no one like me one of these researchers?

I don’t have an inner voice. My thinking isn’t in language

Just because people don’t have an inner monologue it doesn’t mean they can’t self reflect. They just do it through abstractions.

Brilliant, my inner voice went rampant throughout. I have been surprised about the number of people who can’t picture things in their minds eye. If I discuss my mum a picture of her appears in my head and even her voice - that.

“Some people call this meditation, others call it overthinking” that cracked me up 😂

How would you read a book without an inner voice? Without the ability to create the scenario in your mind? How would that work?

I have aphantasia, which means I am unable to visualize images in my mind. When I close my eyes, it is all black, lacking any colour or images. I do, however, have a very active inner dialogue, with a very active production of thoughts. The lack of inner dialogue is called anendophasia.

I have no inner voice and I’m aphantasic. No voice and no pictures. It’s very quiet.

Aleph :

I don’t have an inner voice, can’t visualise (this is aphantasia), think neither in words nor images but flashes (unless I need to plan something or rehearse a conversation). My default mode of being is total quiet. But I am very analytical and critical.

Feeble Earthling :

I don’t have an inner monologue, however, I have many deep thoughts. There’s just no voice.

I can not fathom not having dialog and visuals running through my head

Ernesto Che Guevara, known as “Che Guevara,” is considered one of the most famous revolutionary figures of the 20th century. He transformed from a young Argentine medical doctor into a global symbol of struggle and rebellion. Born in Argentina, his political journey became closely tied to Cuba, especially after his participation in the Cuban Revolution alongside Fidel Castro. After the victory of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Guevara became one of the key figures in building the new state. He held several important positions in the Cuban government, most notably: • President of the National Bank of Cuba: In this role, his goal was to reshape the financial system in line with socialist ideology. He worked to reduce dependence on the US dollar and strengthen Cuba’s economic sovereignty. Although not a traditional economist, he made bold decisions that reflected his revolutionary vision. • Minister of Industry: He aimed to transform Cuba’s economy from an agriculture-based system (especially sugar production) into an industrial one. He supported the creation of factories and encouraged self-sufficiency. He also promoted the idea of the “New Man,” someone driven by moral and revolutionary values rather than money. In his positions, Guevara was known for strict discipline and strong commitment to his principles. He rejected privileges and lived a simple life despite his status, often working alongside laborers in factories and fields to set an example. This behavior made many Cubans see him as a sincere leader rather than just a political official. He was widely admired as a revolutionary figure who shared people’s hardships and stood against corruption and foreign dominance. His charisma, passionate speeches, and image as a fearless fighter helped build a strong bond between him and large parts of the population, especially in the early years after the revolution. Over time, Che Guevara’s fame went far beyond Cuba. He became a global symbol of revolution and resistance against injustice. His famous portrait, taken by Cuban photographer Alberto Korda, turned into an icon printed on posters and T-shirts around the world. For many, Guevara represents the spirit of defiance, resistance to oppression, and the struggle for social justice. In the end, whether people agree or disagree with him, Guevara remains an influential figure who combined revolutionary thought, political action, and idealism with reality. He may have passed away physically, but his symbolism remains powerful and continues to inspire people around the world. #cheguevara #guevara #ErnestoCheGuevara #fyp #History
