This question seems to come up often, so I will offer some clarity
Jouska a hypothetical conversation that one plays out in their own head; typically philisophical in nature. The word itself is of Finnish origin.
As a thinking, rational being, you have done this. You play the role of debater and interlocutor in order to arrive at a point of catharsis - if not an answer. The purpose of such talks is to formulate and hypothesise to arrive at an answer for yourself. There is no winner, as the goal is understanding.
In some ways it is what I've tried to arrive at with this profile. Though in a way, I have destroyed my own name by externalising these thoughts. But I also wished to prove that they exist
I do relate to that process. I believe it to be the key to finding real answers about the world. It is a very good way to being conscious of our interests, so then we can choose whether they are ours, or just nature's program.
