I really have no idea. I mean, it's not like the brain's STOPPED, but the way it was described to me, it's just silent. No ambient thought.

I... man, I got no clue.
The cluelessness we feel now is just how the other guy seemed, on the topic of inner monologues. Two sorts of brains, so alien to each other.

Some people have a condition where they don't possess a functioning mind's eye and cannot voluntarily visualize imagery or even sounds.

What blows my mind is how we are the only species in the known universe with cognitive abilities.

No, don't do that to me, this can't be possible. I just can't imagine how you can go without having to think about something the whole time.
Is that the secret to happiness?

That's impossible. I mean, its probably how animals think, but it goes against basic laws of logic and an understanding of what consciousness means.
It's more likely people are just trying to convey that they don't think deeply about stuff all the time.

Or that our consciousness is less advanced comparatively to other animals than we think it is. I'd love to see some studies on inner monologue vs subject IQ though. I have a feeling that as IQ slides below the 100 mark, that inner voice that runs a few options before you make a move fades away into just reaction to stimuli, and as you go above that 100 mark, the more complex the analysis becomes.

One time I was high and I thought I had fucked up my internal monologue. It had a child's British accent. No matter what I did it didn't go away. Till I came down, of course. Still I was freaking out pretty bad wondering how I would ever get used to it.

I attempt this when I try meditation, but even then I am picturing things in my mind. Things relating to calm and clarity...I don't think my brain is ever silent, dull maybe
Wow, that's pretty crazy. Usually that state takes a ton of meditative practice. I wish I was able to achieve that state.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
I don't think you can stop thinking altogether, but you can control the flow of thinking by meditating. And concentrating on your mind.
Maybe what these people mean is that they're not always thinking logically.

The Texas Embassy still exists in London. Except now it's been turned into a TexMex restaurant... run by Americans. It's still officially recognized as a legation... whatever that means.
Apparently, there is one in Paris, too. Except I've never been to that one so it's automatically not as cool.

It was the best restaurant in London. By far. Americans running it makes a difference. Sorry LondonGAF.
