Indeed, consciousness is a misterious thing. But it doesn’t sound worse than changing your argument into

> But if you’re hearing and comprehending your own words for the first time ~~when they come out of your mouth~~ in your head, it seems like it could be argued they’re the words of _someone else_ who lives in your brain and does ~~n’t~~ communicate with you.

Both ideas seem funny to me, but both are too simplistic, as the voice in your head will easily convince you of if you give it a chance. Anyway, I have convinced myself of it by writing it down.
