(Guy Finds Out Not Everyone Has An Internal Monologue With Themselves And It Ruins His Day) meme photo posts.
Really surprised to know that not everyone can have conversations with themselves in their inner thoughts. Images or sentences are not a natural way of thinking for some.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.We are all different. I hear my words in my brain as words said but I do not hear them in a voice or my own voice. They are just thoughts that are there in sentence form. This is how I think.
I have another mode that I call survival mode. No thoughts just actions and more animalistic. I prefer the thinking mode.

I don't know if this is related or not, but I was equally shocked to learn that about a third of adults have no capacity for abstract thought, and most of the rest have only varying degrees of capability.
"The research demonstrates to us that only a few (about 10%) of the adult population are ever fully equipped with formal operational thinking skills – whether or not they have received any higher education. Between 30% and 40% of the population lack the ability to engage in this type of thought completely. The remaining 50 to 60 percent have some formal operational thinking skills ranging from barely demonstrating that they have any to usually, but not always using them." [hethoughts.wordpress.com]

It says that it is needful to teach these skills, although it also says that the education system fails to teach them and then says that rote learning is used instead. Actually I would think that rote learning helps to crush them, and discourages people from practicing and enhancing them as much as they can, because it quite deliberately promotes a fear of getting things wrong. Best play safe and learn to chant the mantra.
I love the very quotable passage at the end, though it is not attributed.
"How could we take something as natural and wonderful as learning and turn it into education? "
