The last great mystery of the mind – inner voices (theguardian.com)

Full title: "The last great mystery of the mind: meet the people who have unusual – or non-existent – inner voices"

I'll start; I don't often have an inner voice (as in, formed of a sequence of words); my inner world is sometimes abstractions, sometimes words - if I'm rehearsing an anticipated conversation for example - but more often music. I'm not a musician, and the music in my head is far from savant-level (always a melody, sometimes a bit of harmony or chords, but not much), but it's there more often than anything else.

last mystery of the mind? ya really think we've got all the other answers we could use?
