I mostly don’t have inner monologue either, but I also don’t feel like that’s an requirement for having shoulder advisors. Shoulder advisors can talk in conceptese, in my experience.
(I don’t have shoulder copies in the strong and vivid sense that Duncan describes, but I sometimes get vague feelings that seem like they are the outputs of the same kind of process. E.g. reading an article and thinking “I feel like Duncan would be interested in this”, seeing a particular plush toy and thinking “my friend S would find this one adorable”, or preparing for a fraught conversation with someone and doing a simulation in my head of what I’d expect them to say in response to various things that I could say. Also I’m getting a weak sense of what you might reply to this comment, now. :-) )
