I dunno.. I feel like much of what a person experiences is not so clear and when we do get a definitive answer, its not made any clearer what conditions prove/disprove the phenomenon of a persons given experience

Like, in music, for example, theres a category of people who apparently can see images or the billowing of different lights when they play music. When I told my co-worker that when I played music, I could see images and or things that kind of resembled the shape of what I was playing she was like wow, thats really rare! Did you know that was called (insert name of the thing)?.

In my mind, I just assumed that was how it always was though. Like art makes you think of other things.. so if youre looking at a painting, you can almost feel the breeze.. feel the heat of the drawn image.. maybe itd remind you of a smell you can almost begin to smell.. and if you were listening to something, you can almost see or feel an image being conjured from the sounds themselves

but I dont doubt for a second that its the user itself thats producing this willfully, its just your imagination crossing over the boundary of reality with a kind of delusion. Not all delusions are bad. Some people cope with the realities of the world by escaping to a fantasy reality via video games, yknow?

and so this question of inner thoughts.. I mean, how much of it really has to be sound you actually hear? I feel like any form of communication you have with yourself are your inner thoughts. You can force yourself to say soda! like revolver ocelot does in this video:

in your mind, and you can for sure repeat the cadence, the tone, etc.

are you hearing it?

Hell, Ill stretch this idea out even further.. Ive never believed people who say that they've never enjoyed music. Its usually regulated to the idea that what they are hearing is such an after thought that they hardly have anything remarkable to say about it. But I cant imagine them not liking any form of music because music is sound, and sound is everywhere. Perhaps its simply because they've never considered a life without it.. maybe its as simple as their pessimism taking a leak everywhere before their own mind has a chance to think of the answer to that question

er, well, who knows I guess.
