Rude. Just because people don't think the same way as you doesn't mean they're not sentient. Don't be ableist.

Q&A with a person with no inner monologue

• when reading it's more like they're sorting through a file cabinet of ideas than hearing an audiobook in their heads.
• it helps to read out loud
• they can't play music they've heard before in their heads
• they're not plagued by constantly reliving the past (I think this is actually a very strong positive of not having an inner monologue)
• they can't imagine future conversations before they have them.

I think it's important for socialists to keep in mind how people process information, sine it can massively change our political strategy of spreading our ideas.
