  • Me when I have anendophasia and don’t have internal monologue at every single waking moment.

    It’s not neurotypical to be able make their inner voice shut up on a whim. I realise later in life that plenty of folks have inner voices in every waking moment, from picking up a can of coke to wanting to sit down. If do those things, I just do by instinct without an inner monologue. But when I do get an inner voice, it’s more like detached, if that makes sense. Or it is kinda like an interview where I am talking to another person. I tend to visualise my thoughts more than mentally verbalising it.

    My anendophasia explains a lot why I can’t relate when someone says about silencing their inner voices. I get a confuddled face, before, everytime someone talks about. I don’t really get negative thoughts but when if I do, I imagine the thoughts flowing away. I’ve been doing that before I heard that therapist recommend this technique called “flowing river”, imagining thoughts away like a river flowing away.




  • It reminds me of Northern Europeans stereotyping Southern Europeans as lazy. But Northern European don’t realise it is mainly because Southern Europe is very hot to work for longer hours. The Southern European “siesta” of course carried over to Spanish and Portuguese colonies. Before Cuba gained independence from Spain, they only work three hours a day, and this happened only about one hundred years ago.


  • As far as I can tell, they are genuinely good folks who use money and influence to do good. After taking ownership of Casa Bonita, during the renovation period that followed, they said that they will still pay the existing employees, but only if those employees do charity work while the place is being renovated. Mat and Trey make money but they don’t seem hungry for more. They also renewed a deal with Paramount; but when CBS tried to cancel Colbert so that the duo’s parent company, Skydance, will have the Trump admin approve the merger with CBS, Mat and Trey unabashedly criticised their company without fear of cancellation and despite having just signed a renewed contract. They were not punished nonetheless and if even if there have been, I believe they will stick to their guns.
