I don't think we need to postulate an inner world, ... all we need is "here is one of my psychological reactions and I can describe it in detail" - the usual name for that is consciousness...it doesn't tell us about...the following Russell's program, the causal structure of the world, the actual world that our best theories tell us about, doesn't conform to my experience....it's telling us only indirectly about the world...Dualism was cast out centuries ago... We assume there are mental processes...there's no way of distinguishing language and thought. They are basically the same thing. If we are not an organism that can't propose questions, propose answer...there's nothing we can say about consciousness.Noam Chomsky at the end of his talk... it gets muddled!

I love this answer: "It's not a real question" - how many times is that the appropriate response to fake questions. hahaha.
Our speech is mainly unconsciousness that comes to our brain way beyond the speed of neural transmission! Thanks Noam Chomsky....
