About this listen

 Picture a pediatric waiting room where a mother watches her perfectly content child building block towers in blessed quiet. The doctor enters with a diagnosis that lands like lead: your child has anendophasia - he lacks an internal monologue. But what if medicine has been reading the chart upside down for the last hundred years? What if the ones we call broken are the only ones still whole? How can the absence of something be healthier than its presence? Why would medicine label health as disease for over a century? And what if that voice in your head - that constant companion - isn't you at all, but something you're carrying that was never meant to be there?
