It's a good encapsulation of the epistemological nightmare. The data is only as good as a person's ability to describe something they may have no concept of. I think the sliding scale system is a better way rather than discreet terms. Also there's no proof anyone else exists anyway.

I wouldn't frame it that way. It's me, it's my voice, but it's not necessarily controlled in the way your outer voice is. An internally vocalised stream of consciousness.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't have an inner monologue. What the fuck do you mean you go through life without an oversight committee.

So the kororā in our region have more chicks than anywhere else but these stuffed shirts won't let me run a Promiscuous Penguins campaign.

Forest and Bird hate me because I keep nominating my wife for bird of the year. Also my wife hates me.

Management: We've got a motivational speaker!

Yes he's a sport guy.

Yes the sport was a single endurance event.

Yes the only adversity he's faced is what he put in front of himself.

Yes he wrote a book about it.

No we can't think of any other way to motivate you.

Have fun!

How about a vampire who teaches improv in order to condition his students to 'Yes and' his requests for entry into their home.
