Mamdani is the manifestation of a new ideology that is spreading in the United States: Third-Worldism. I explain how it operates, how it frames Israel and the U.S. as the bourgeois oppressors, and why the ideology is appealing. https://t.co/pALKJY70GL

Yep, this is me. I think one of the biggest differences with inner-monologue folk is a lack of linearity in thought, which can be helpful for thinking creatively or really annoying to our partners.
It is ESSENTIAL to remember that between a third and a half of people have NO inner monologue or dialogue. They don’t debate with themselves, they have no inner conversations – they exist in a blur of images and sensations and feelings. And they are all around you…
