I don't use an internal monologue for normal thought, only specific kinds of thinking, especially when I want to remember my thoughts very clearly.

I'm not sure what you guys mean by shut it down. Can't you just stop using it?

For some people it is the default mode of operation... Not using it is an option, but for me it is uncomfortable enough for selfish me not to shut it down.
