It's like, if your wires are fucked on your computer then you don't get sound on your speakers or an image on your monitor but the computer is still running all the audio and visual. You have to assume that someone with no monologue is just navigating life with a series of images. When they do math they just run the equation without actually sounding out "two plus two is four" in their head. The brain is doing things silently the same way you do things silently in real life without openly describing what you're doing.
I don't understand why all this shit is so controversial to people when it's easy to understand as a concept, can be proven in a lab, there's no upside to people lying that'd give you reason to suspect them when they're self-diagnosing, and most of all, that it barely affects the person and affects us even less if they have it. The site is filled with people that have mental health problems that're way more abstracted, far more destructive, and way harder to iron out but people always get mad in aphantasia and anauralia threads.
