I don’t think it’s a conversation as in a dialogue, it’s rather a monologue. But since you “hear” the monologue, you think about what you hear, and that thinking doesn’t necessarily become part of the monologue (not immediately and directly), so the thinking and the monologue tend to bounce of each other to some degree.

This is interesting, I have the same experience as you and have never even heard of this inner voice people have before opening the Reddit link.

Can you emulate personalities? Can you, for example, ask Elon Musk for an opinion on something you're currently working on? If you can, a routine discussion with internal monologue is most likely more of a habit than a neurological feature.

Interesting approach... Just tried it (Elon and Obama) and failed. I could visualise them, tried to think what they would think, but pretty much that.
