I only think to myself in Chuukese, a language that less than 50,000 people in the world speak.

No Orwell there, right?

Today I was talking to myself. I was very polite and cordial but I could tell I was lying.

Google already knows what you want to search for before you start typing. Alexa calls 911 if she deems it necessary. Your phone tells the NSA where you are. Your car can rat your driving to the insurance company.

No thanks.

"...their brains still send speech signals to the vocal cords and the 100-plus muscles involved in speaking."

So how in the world do vocal cords decided to ignore what the brain is commanding them to do? Why would the brain send commands to a part of the body that should ignore those commands?

"OK, vocal cords, here's a command for you, but I also command you ignore it."
Seems like that would really confuse the vocal cords.

Wouldn't it be easier for the brain to not send the signal in the first place? This doesn't add up. Maybe something was lost in translation by an ignorant "journalist."

Don't need it...my dog communicates with me telepathically. For example, this is her "I'm hungry" look:

It also works for when she has to go outside. No doubt about it, she's a great communicator...lol.

I just got off the phone with the service manager who told that my vehicle still isn’t ready. If I had been wearing this device, he would have heard something a lot different than the civil voice I was using.

Talking to yourself is fine...

Answering yourself is fine...

The problem is when you respond, “I’m sorry, what did you say?”

Prosecutor:
AlterEgo testified specifically and emphatically that you threatened to douse an honorable ranking elected Democratic public servant with a deluge of an hundred milkshakes. What do you have to say for yourself now?

Defendant:
I never sub-vocalized that to myself!

Prosecutor:
Your Honor, I move to have that response stricken from the record, as non-verifiable non-hearsay!

Judge:
Objection sustained. In light of this obvious future thought crime, we find the defendant guilty as charged.
