Cue: my internal monologue (or actual voice) is saying one thing, and another part of my mind that doesn't speak in words is saying "bullshit".
What does it feel like, when it says that? How do you notice?
It feels the same as when I feel that someone else is bullshitting.My mind thinks it can recognize "good" and "bad" arguing styles (presumably learned from lots of training data). I can skim through an essay and find points where it feels like it's slipping into irrationality without necessarily paying attention to what all the words are saying.
As for how I notice - I just do. My mind brings it to my attention. I assume there are things I can do to train this ability or put myself in the right mood for it, but that's not something I've explored.
Sorry if this wasn't useful. It's hard to describe how something feels from the inside and have it come out coherent.
