Chain of thought seems very specifically like an instantiation of the System 2 thinking of the System 1 and 2 thinking Daniel Kahneman popularized.
Is it clunky in that it's a verbalized/languified version of system 2 thinking, and clearly humans do some non-verbal version too?
- ElFitz 13d agoSome humans apparently only or almost only do non-verbal thinking. It’s called anendophasia.
- ma2kx 13d agoSounds like philosophical zombies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie
- ElFitz 13d agoMaybe, I wouldn’t know. I just find it fascinating that other people have such a radically different way of experiencing thought. No idea what it’s like.
- fipar 13d ago“For example, if a philosophical zombie were poked with a sharp object, it would not feel any pain, but it would react exactly the way any conscious human would” Doing non-verbal thinking has nothing to do with not feeling pain, I don’t think it sounds like philosophical zombies at all.

- big_toast 7d agoHow do you deal with things like mental math or "thinking something through"? Do you find this study to be accurate or inaccurate in any ways? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38728320/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38728320/ Pdf seems available here: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Not-Everybody-Has-an-Inner-Voice%3A-Behavioral-of-Nedergaard-Lupyan/dbf3a4d2ecc266b882e807310700860267365d47 https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Not-Everybody-Has-an-I...
