What is the verdict on the "inner monologue?" Can humans be split into groups of those who can visualize their thoughts and those who can't? Like many, I was surprised, when this topic started surfacing on the internet, to learn that some people claim not to be able to conjure mental images at will.

I thought perhaps those people don't understand the question. Perhaps those who claim we can imagine pictures aren't explaining what it is we are doing when we think. Are there really varying degrees of conceptualizing?

If so, how do those that claim they can't visualize at all ever invent things? How can they understand concepts like beauty, abstraction, and recursion? Do they not have an inner voice when they read or think? This topic is well-discussed and documented, but what is really at play?

There are those who wish to see something, yet don't experience an image.

There are those who wish to hear something, yet don't experience a sound.

But for every living adult person, whenever they wish to know something, at least some idea will be experienced. Cause this type of imagination is crucial for survival, and everyone is forced to train it. Even if most abandon such exercises way before reaching anything resembling excellence.

I blame fluoride in the water.

Back when humans were drinking from wells and rivers this was never an issue. Even the romans had open flowing aqueducts.

I'm completely satisfied with the internal dialogue
