Of course not. It's my inference from the fact that my dog has no outer
narrative. Have you read Julian Jaynes "The Origin of Consciousness in the
Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind"? He argues, persuasively in my opinion, that
our inner narrative arises from internalizing our outer narrative, i.e. spoken
communication with other people.
