Reading a book is totally different. The words are supplied to you, so putting a sound to them isn't much of a jump.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:When I'm reading a good book I "hear" the words, and the material is playing in my head like a movie.

While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Re: Religious Extremism 'May Be Categorised As Mental Illnes
I remember reading one of Richard Feynman's books. He had to take a psych exam (for the Army or something) that included the question of whether or not he heard voices in his head. He answered 'yes' and was considered unfit (I don't remember all the details). I seem to recall that the psychiatrist interviewed him about the voices and he said something like, 'Every time I remember somebody else saying something, I hear voices in my head.'

I love decisions made on single datum points without context. I pounce on these a lot "elsewhere". It makes admirals hate me.FBM wrote:I remember reading one of Richard Feynman's books.

Not sure how you can read this and not 'hear' it in your head, I suppose it comes down to what you mean by hear?Gawdzilla Sama wrote:When I'm reading a good book I "hear" the words, and the material is playing in my head like a movie.

Sorry, not clear. I seen everything. I don't just hear the words, I watch people saying them.
