You really think the author picked this as "evidence"? It is clear that this is written to make a story, starting small and then expand later. The next sentence is already telling you it is not just about the anecdote...

I am surprised this is the take-home of the article you focused on.

Language and that inner voice have become an integral part of humans. But I sometimes can enforce a "voiceless" sequence of thoughts if I am thinking about visual problems that are on the abstract side. The interesting thing is, I find it not to be an inferior form of thinking, it helps me get to the important picture and mechanics better than "word-based" thinking, which tends to get bog down in detail.

My exact same thought!

Why do we need to trust our emotional experience, can't we just experience it without coloring it with what we think it is? We add false data to it if we try to develop a faith-based opinion on it. Real trust and fact will emerge with time almost unwittingly when certain unbiased data occur recurringly, we don't need to give special attention to trust it.

I thiught this article is about that "self" you think you are, that noisy little bitch inside is prolly not the real you. You don't need to feed this ephemeral little bitch as it will lead to an attachment and suffering of both you and the outside world. I hardly see anything wrong with that.

Am initially confused as most comments reads like being defensive from a gut reaction. It is like that little bitch op was talking about. Most are mentioning something about we must respect the self, we need to put the self in the forefront since that's all we ever have, synonymous to everything "I" am, I think, I do. You don't need the little bitch to achieve that.
