Wow what a great article I'm half way through it and it's fascinating. I believe my son suffers from this condition of no internal dialogue. Of course he has issues because he is 17 but I think he inherited some of his mom's bad mental traits. Fortunately he wants to join the Marines next year and that should help him have a purpose and guidance. Thankfully he is very patriotic and built like a tank.
Your son joining the marines may be a very bad idea.
He is going to serve the marines. But who do the marines serve?
The brainwashed nationalist in you who was brainwashed reciting the pledge of allegiance to the flag and national anthem devotion might say it is to serve "the people."
I caution you to be more realist, and honest, and realize that our military, including the marines, are merely mercenaries for bad people.
Your son becoming a lowly paid mercenary for a corrupt government is not something I would encourage.

One of the most important things you can teach him is to learn to observe his thoughts.
