I guess we just have different ways of processing the written word.
Yep bilby written word maybe but you probably do brain pictures and synthesizer sounds the same as anyone else
Nope, no symbols either.
Yep bilby, symbols may be off the table but whale sounds are in there. Aquatic monkeys and unknown sea beasts are communicating to translate human world concepts to human mind processes. Or something like that. Scratch words and symbols. Alright.
It's no more like sound than sight is; and no more like sight than is smell
Well what contrasts light and shadow inside your brainskull? And what references would be needed to differeciate smells? The brain cave has many aromas that are still unknown to us, huh.
Everybody also has the pictures and flashes of emotions or ideas.
Most of mine come from tender moments with Mom. Age three. Maybe earlier but i can't say. Also moments of horror from life. They have a real face. They're like blobs of color and they may my heart go all stingy. I physically feel emotions sometimes. Eh? Feel me? You'd be one of the few I've asked, if not. But then again I do know some odd people out there.
My conscious is an unending train of thought full of voices and images. I do not have the ability to unconsciously transform language (reading) into knowledge, bypassing comprehension through my consciousness.
Affirmative.
Babies are capable of making every sound used in any human language when they are born. as they learn the language they are exposed to, they "forget" how to make the unused sounds.
That seems like a real shame. They deserve to speak any way they like. Childhood reallly breaks people down. Even changes their language. I've heard people make some strange, baby-like sounds when really high on hallucinogens. I thought hm I wonder if they haven't made that sound since babyhood. Maybe they're sacred sounds that are understood only by babies. Here at the 7:00 mark is a decent example of what could be this language.
Language is a product of culture... learning a foreign language involves understanding some aspects of that culture. So, culture impacts thinking, not through language necessarily, but both are products.
I want to learn baby culture. Not the sick kind where grown men wear diapers and get abused by women, or whatever. I mean actual baby culture, which in essence would be free of any culture. Bet learning baby language would help the world, huh. Are they studying baby language? Like, taking it seriously as a viable way to communicate? They should be. Sounds like an awesome world to me. ALL baby sounds.
I do not hear the shapes like square, delta, circle, left-pointing arrow, up arrow, etc.
If you could relate the sounds to something other than shapes? Well, that may be impossible, right? Any color involved? Red circle and green for the ground shape or whatever? It is almost impossible for me to interpret what I see when I think. Nah, it IS impossible, nevermind. I can make out a voice, but the shapes are personal only to me. But then again everyone probably shares the same mind images because we're all babies at some point. And I assume we all use the same means to carry our messages through the void, of course. The satellites, or whatever they may be. Baby language may be beneath the surface of all important things.
Cats can make 100 sounds. Dogs can make ten. Just something I thought I'd throw in there. Don't trust cats.
I can read DESS Display inside a box that indicates the little screen where DESS tells the operator what's going on, without actually hearing DESS DISPLAY the way i do when i read the technical description in text. Rather, it's filed as part of the picture in my head.
No clue. I believe you but I don't know what that stuff is. Doesn't sound like the kind of work that baby noises would do justice. Telepathic baby language maybe, but we're a long ways away from decoding that stuff, huh. But the visual point I understand, yes. And you usually sound like Chris Hardwick when I read your posts. Not an insult, just something odd about me, not you. Or maybe not odd at all, considering most people hear "the voices".
Typically it is the same "voice" I hear when thinking, which I think is an idealized version of my own speaking voice.
Do you hear yourself speaking calmly in your head, with a low pitch and an almost melodic flow? I ask because someone else said that and I started thinking hey maybe I do. Then I checked, and I do hear myself like that sometimes. Hard to know for sure with only my own experiences to go on so thank you. Sometimes I think in song. Lotsa people do apparently. Makes sense.
occasionally when I am extremely tired, but it is a visual issue with letters appearing in reverse order
Aren't some languages arranged backwards? Someone told me that once. Backwards compared to English I mean. Maybe you're only dyslexic in English. Doubt your inner voice is dyslexic in either case.
So, if I am reading Trump's latest Twit, I hear his stupid voice.
His voice gives me chills. When he was calm in the 80's I sorta dug the guy. I even read his book. Nowadays his voice is true psychological torment. And I despise it. And yes I hear him in his tweets. Not a good sound. His people have the same voice when I read what they attempt to say. God what a nightmare.
if reading dialogue from a fictional character who was played by a specific actor at some point, I will often hear that actor's voice, but not always
Yeah, pretty much. Comes and goes. I do associate fictional book characters with the people playing them in movies sometimes. Never noticed that one. Things that make you go hmm.
I had certainly been exposed to Captain Cold in comics before he was a character on TV, but he wasn't enough of a recurring character for my inner voice to take over for his dialogue, apparently.
In my case criminals sometimes sound like Gargamel from The Smurfs. Cartoons have a lot to do with it, huh. Cartoons wipe away the baby language because it is about the same time frame and whatnot. Comic books though, I don't know. I'd like to hear what a criminal sounds like to the minds ear before the mind knows what a criminal is. Only that they're doing bad things.
