      How fo they read silently to themselves? 🤔

      The same way as listening to someone speak. There’s a thread of consciousness that takes in visual data and is translating the written word into a string of syntactical concepts that is then processed analytically.

      I was really surprised when I found out that people imagined voices when reading. Wouldn’t they be sped up voices? People read faster than speech. It’s so confusing…

        I think the inner monologue is more there to “support” the processing of information rather than being filtered through it entirely.
