It's not that they're not thinking. Are you familiar with the mental visualization of an apple exercise? Google it for more info, but check pic related. Basically you close your eyes and try to visualize an apple with the highest amount of detail possible. Not a picture of an apple. But mentally generating one, moving it in 3d space etc. For most, getting all the way to level 1 is very difficult.
From what I can tell, people without an inner monologue are doing *that* 24/7. Mentally projecting and visualizing *everything*. So they're 100% thinking. They just don't need words to do it. I can't wrap my head around having to do that for EVERY thought I have. Just like they can't wrap their heads around using words to do it. It's pretty crazy, actually
