When the sounds waves hit your ear drum it causes signals that are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they trigger neurons to fire, allowing you to perceive sound.
When I have an internal monologuing I seem to be simulating the neurons that would fire if my thoughts were transmitted via sound waves through the ear.

>>>How the hell would you convince someone of this?
There's a writer and blogger named Mark Evanier who wrote as a joke
"Absolutely no one likes candy corn. Don't write to me and tell me you do because I'll just have to write back and call you a liar. No one likes candy corn. No one, do you hear me?"
You're doing the same thing but replace "candy corn" with "internal monologue".
The fact people report it makes it obviously true to the extent that the idea of a belligerent person refusing to accept it is funny.

Is that not how it works for you?
