I enjoy anything I might construe as a justification for talking to myself. Because really, if you can talk to yourself in your head why shouldn't you talk to yourself out loud? Sometimes you can't see things clearly unless you get them out into a physical space. And really all the little bits of us are us, and they communicate with each other (with each us?) to get things done, so every part of you is talking to yourself. I like that idea.

Sometimes there are issues with talking with yourself. You talk to yourself but you don't really listen, or you can't listen, so that things that are chilling in one hemisphere of the brain can't make it to the other, or parts of the conscious don't make it to the unconscious, and a big wrench is thrown into the system. I suppose that it was beneficial for the brain to evolve into "pieces" so that if something happened to one part of the brain the entire thing didn't  malfunction, but I would like to know more about how brains moved into the direction of hemispheres and areas and such.
