I had no idea that my thoughts were alive enough to make sounds that are alive enough to like things.

While thinking over the question, I came up with one of my own that I find more perplexing.

What goes through an animal's brain while it's thinking? They obviously think, they're capable of solving problems. Every bit of problem solving I do involves words. I googled it, I got "they think in concepts" but that doesn't really explain it to me.

For instance if it's all just memory based, then how is that information stored? All of my memories (and more specifically recalling those memories) involve language at some point or another. Now obviously some animals know some words. You tell a dog to sit a hundred times and give him a treat each time he does, they learn what sit means. But what of the animals who never come into contact with humans. They still learn things. Fire is bad. Messing with certain other animals is painful, etc.

In what form, is the information in their head telling them biting into that porcupine is a bad idea because of what happened the last time, taking?

I actually really like this one. :thumbup:

I imagine thoughts as a buzzing, like a hive of bees.

I think my dog is secretly fluent in English. She surprises me sometimes. She responds appropriately to what I say to her 95% of the time, even if I'm just talking to her rather than giving commands.

But I've wondered that same thing before, and got the same answer you did upon further research. I decided that because I think in language, its impossible for me to truly understand how something can "think in concepts, not language."

I came to the same conclusion but I'd still like to understand it. But after thinking about it (lol) I'm guessing I just won't be able to understand since thinking in language is so far ingrained into me.

This thread also made me realize something else. There is no voice when I think. There's no distinct sound to it which I find odd. If I think about what someone else said, I can hear it in their voice, if I recall something I said once, I can hear it in my voice, I can recall random ambient sounds, but if it's a completely unique thought that I've never heard anyone say, it lacks any and all distinction.

Which makes me wonder. If telepaths were real, and I have no way to distinguish my thoughts, how would I ever know that my thoughts were my own? For all I know half, or even all of what I'm thinking as I type this up is someone else inside my head planting these thoughts. Maybe that entire last line was deliberately implanted by them to fuck with me and rub it in my face that they're in my head and I can't do anything about it. So glad I'm not tripping while sitting here thinking about this shit.

This is true but my thoughts would sound like me going through my blessings and problems in life. How to do things right tomorrow. I guess my thoughts would be verbal,including all the sounds I hear in the background while thinking.
