Do you think animals have thoughts? Are they capable of hearing that little voice that we humans have in our heads? - eviltoast

What do you think?

    As far as I can tell there are people who have an inner dialogue going all the time but I doubt it’s always so mundane. But I don’t know. I’m more like you ( I think) where I thought these words out as I typed them but will probably go back to more abstract thought with music afterward.

      yeah, that describes my thought process well - I am thinking in words while typing (or while reading, speaking, listening, obviously), but in abstract concepts when not interacting with language, but with objects around me.
