Just to make it very clear where I stand—I am a huge fan of vaccination, it has saved literally millions of lives and is a force for great good in this world

I’m currently in a vaccine trial and volunteer with vaccine involvement work (ask me about involvement!)

Pertussis cases in Texas are 10x higher than all of 2023, and 2x as high as last year — 4x for the same period. The official count is higher by a 1k than it has been in more than a decade. Last time it was over 2k was 2014 with 2,576. It’s past 3,500 for 2025.

My thoughts are an ongoing monologue inside my head. 🤷‍♀️

Dreams too, although they also have a visual component. (My thoughts don’t.)

Sometimes when I wake up my inner narrative is mid-sentence, and the fragment sort of hangs there for a moment before dissolving, leaving my waking brain befuddled.

Same. I think almost exclusively in dialogue. Either imagined dialogue with someone else or dialogue with myself. Usually along the lines of "why did you say that?" "Why are you wearing that top?" "That person thinks you're an idiot" "Remember when you called a teacher 'mum' when you were 13?"

No. Not necessarily. I often think in images - I want a cup of coffee, I see making the coffee. Sometimes I think in words: "Orent, you really need to sit down and finish that article."
I'm not at all sure of what you mean by thinking in concepts.
You can't visualize things? Fascinating.

I think in words. But, another aspect...to me, words aren't just a blob of sound or a shape on a page. A word is a little capsule of emotion/perception, so I feel it at the same time I'm grasping the definition. Maybe why I am such a wordaholic and love studying other languages.

I feel it as this vague sort of *everything* that I eventually sort through by tagging portions with words and setting them out in some semblance of order

It’s both with me. ADHD means I have one or more monologues/conversations in my head at the same time as the abstract thoughts. It’s a total mashup.

Reading this thread, and I will read the article, makes me wonder about how other people think and assume others think

I don’t think in words—I think in concepts which I then translate into words and I suppose/d everyone does?

Thoughts aren’t words? Surely we recognise that?

Snorts:
The way to reach such a finding, it seems, is to give as much weight to under-powered conclusion-driven studies with shonky methodologies, and to gold-standard studies with huge samples and methodologies not determined by the intended results.
This commendably non-elitist approach…

He remained an activist his whole life and was always prescient…and was very worried about AI. In his 70s he dressed up like a robot and stood on the corner with a sign that said, “American soldiers won’t fire on Americans. But Robot soldiers will.” I miss him.
