I’m certainly no Pratchett, so I can’t speak to that. I would say there’s an enormous round coin upon which sits an enormous giant holding a magnifying glass, looking through it down at her hand. When you get closer, you see the giant is ma

I have DID and am also curious how it would affect the measurement. I'm just waking up so I've only skimmed the paper so far, but I suspect the results would differ depending on which of us was fronting. We've noticed that ea

This is why black swan events can be so devastating. I saw another comment here about a month ago that said many people tend to round a very small risk down to zero risk. The comments were related to driving and the risk of serious injury o

I'm also on the spectrum and like using various kinds of parallel construction, including antithesis. I also tend to use a lot of em dashes. If I posted something I wrote in, say, 2010, I'd likely get a lot of comments about my wr

That's also a concern. Many day-to-day tasks for employees are repetitive to the point even a less-than-AGI system could potentially disrupt those jobs (and there are people actively working right now to make this happen). The best cas

I have met a few people online who told me they were diagnosed with both. Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs) and DID can apparently co-occur. From [0] (2016): > One study showed that in a sample of patients diagnosed with Dissociati

Not the poster you replied to. But maybe I should quickly define what I mean by inner monologue: thoughts in word form, utilizing language. I defined it this way because this is what most people seem to mean when they talk about an inner

It certainly feels strange. The two epochs almost feel like past life and current life, with an unexpected and ineffable bridge between the two. I remember thinking in words, but it feels like someone else was doing that, because I certainl

> In this scenario, would the phrase "My favorite flowers are roses" have materialized in your mind? That depends on the situation. I thought I'd mentioned it in this thread, but apparently I'd mentioned it on the pos

Sometimes, I wonder if those with an inner monologue focus on that process as being their consciousness, because they often use it to self-reflect on their own thinking process. It's that meta-reflection that people seem to consider th

The two sibling comments have great answers. For me, it feels like a very intuitive process. I've described it to others in the past as feeling like I'm constructing a sort of cognitive atom graph, where memories, emotions, facts,

I posted a few days ago about my own experiences with aphasia as a teen. The term author came up with, "The Quiet," resonates with me. My own experience was also quiet, but not as peaceful as hers. My stroke was a thief of thought

Fully agree with both of you, especially about writing even simple things down, because it's usually the simple thing I didn't write down that trips me up. The hardest part is making sure my notes are always up to date, which some

Yes, I have Acquired ELD from a stroke. It does affect my ability to code, especially on the days when I'm more mentally or physically fatigued. And I do also get headaches and fatigue both when expressing my thoughts, as well as when

It's strange seeing posts about aphasia on HN every so often. When I was a teen, I suffered a stroke secondary to a TBI that had happened a few days before. As a result, I developed global aphasia and lost my internal monologue. I don&
