I think it’s because once you educate yourself, you see how the masses behave and it’s like the ultimate revelation.

They are consumers. Feeders. They want to be told what to think.

Most people don’t even have an internal monologue and many people say they don’t even think much, not even a thought.

You thought for yourself. You used your brain. But you are outnumbered. Vastly.

Is there any scientific indication that whether private thoughts are automatically verbalized actually has an impact on cognitive activity or function?

Also where do you get this idea that most people lack an internal monologue? Afaik research indicates that totally lacking verbal thinking is very rare.
