Absolutely shocked about this, that some people don't have one. Re-read the article a couple times. Went down a wikipedia rabbit hole and found this[0]. Makes me wonder if there are leftover developments in consciousness that are sticking around.

My inner monologue is basically a consciousness I'm trying to control. It's not a split personality, per se. It's "me", but an OS running my random thoughts all the time. When I dream I sometimes dream in a different language that I (mostly) don't speak (Spanish, or German ... sometimes Japanese which must mostly be from memories there because I haven't studied it). The dreams make me think there's a latent function that keeps popping up for a reset.

I genuinely don't understand how someone could function without being able to "talk to yourself" and essentially narrate your life.
