It actually makes a lot of sense when you consider how stupid and gullible so many people are.

I have ADHD, so chaos at all times. My husband has nothing. It's fascinating to watch in real life. It's just peaceful up there. I'll never not be mesmerized.
This thing again. I remember when this first went around the internet a few years ago. I was indeed shocked to learn that people actually hear a voice/monologue in their head narrating their day or whatever.
I always thought it was just a lazy trope used in movies and tv to help explain the plot.
The only time I have anything close to that is if I am actively trying to rehearse what I want say in my head. Then I hear my own voice.

This and other works by the same researcher delve into the various modalities of experiencing the world including aphantasia (like me!). He has some pop-academia content on YouTube but (surprise surprise) I prefer consumption via text.
similarly, do normal humans not have the same 40 seconds of music looping in their heads at almost all waking hours
I used to use my constant loop of the entirety of "They're Coming to Take me Away" to time how long I'd been working on something using the number of loops.
I had warrant’s cherry pie stuck in my head for a year and a half in high school. It was awful, but it did eventually end.
If you’re looking for advice, whenever something threatens to get really wedged in there since, I sing a Complete History of the Soviet Union Arranged to the Melody of Tetris to myself (internally, lol) and it resets things for me.
Yeah some of us are drowning it out with YouTube videos and by scrolling this
yeah that’ll be a funny comment, we should post that says the voice, naively
strangely, i can turn off the "mind's mouth" for a bit
I have aphantasia and don't "see" things when I close my eyes. It shocked me that people could and weren't just saying it metaphorically. I got to be shocked again when people actually hear things that aren't there. Like, how do y'all survive the lack of quiet?!
The other way around for me
I have synesthesia and "see" sound. Was confused when I learned that not everyone has this
That's gotta be so cool. I know the guy who did the score for game of thrones has that and it makes his music more impactful I think.
Honestly, because it's all I've ever known. As far as I'm concerned the voices are me, the real inner me, and things I say out loud are just an expression of that. Who are you when you're alone and quiet?
I'm still me. Lots of thoughts (sometimes too many) but they're more nebulous than narrated. Just like with the aphantasia thing, ideas are just kinda data. I could draw a map from memory, I just could not represent it visually in my head. I played in bands and composed music, but I don't "hear it" as such
how do y'all survive the lack of quiet?!
Barely, by constantly having music playing or something else to distract me. Hyperfocus is a useful superpower, but easily led astray. And the evil capitalists are trying to undermine me with psyops (ads that have catchy tunes or catchphrases that live in my head rent-free)
Just like how you don’t notice the ambient scent of a place you’ve been for a while or the feeling of your tongue inside your mouth, until your attention is drawn to them they just melt into the texture of life.
Plus, at least for me, they aren’t on the same level as real sights and sounds, more of a phantom version.
