Lonely for peopleLonely for what?
You can't have a conversation with yourself though?Being alone and being lonely aren't the same. If you're good company to yourself, why would you ever feel lonely?
I mean, you could if you wanted to, lol.You can't have a conversation with yourself though?
what do you mean? Some of the best conversations I've ever had were between me and myself. You can talk loud, or you can write down what your thinking. It's great. if it doesnt satisfy you maybe try dming random kiwi farms usersYou can't have a conversation with yourself though?
Are you the guy who keeps posting in the alcoholism thread but never quits?Lonely for people

I can still think to myself [...]

Bicameral mentality is a hypothesis introduced by Julian Jaynes who argued human ancestors as late as the ancient Greeks did not consider emotions and desires as stemming from their own minds but as the consequences of actions of gods external to themselves.
Like I said earlier. Being alone and lonely are not the same thing. Being comfortable by yourself for a reasonable amount of time is an important thing everyone should be able to do.but you are ALONE when doing that.
There's nothing new entering your system,
This is contradiction. Reading new information is still new information. I don't get what you're so pissed off about. Just because I read it, or someone tells me something new is no different and just because I read it doesn't make it not new.You can prepare and order things you've already assimilated via reading, for example, or put abstract thoughts into words....
That's not what i said, but it's still not a conversation, because reading isn't interactive. It's a one sided conversation, thinking about it, ordering it and assimilating it while talking to yourself is still a stale shadow of the real thing. You may disagree with things you read while talking to yourself about it, but the author isn't there to clarify, because you are not really doing anything, but reciting things which you already ingested, to yourself. You are tricking yourself, if you think of this kind of solo activity as substitute for the real thing. Unhealthy.Just because I read it, or someone tells me something new is no different and just because I read it doesn't make it not new.
well i do not have perfect knowledge of myself (including the mind) and neither does anyone, so that is simply not true. you scoff at organizing what is already there, at introspection and effort pointed inward, yet this type of thinking reduces a person to a single variable that has one dimension - it can either go left or right. but this is peculiar, and presupposes purely mechanical nature of everything. mind and consciousness are not mechanical however. conscious efforts at structuring, taking a better look, pondering upon oneself and one's knowledge already in the process transforms what is there and is an addition in itself, while also changing that which is the object. you seem to think that the mind is like the body - it takes food, takes what is valuable and gives shit, and eating shit is a sterile endeavor. yet the best of ppl do and did exactly what you would consider shit eating. the greatest monks. great zen buddhist thinkers. talking to yourself is better than chit chatting with other people, even though staying completely silent is even better - what are you even trying to say when you are saying something? ridiculousThere's nothing new entering your system, you only entrench what you already assimilated
