That’s a good point.

I suppose for me the odd one is the image thing. Can you visualise, in your minds eye… a (something absurd say a giraffe headbutting a panda)? Some people just can’t.

Well, I’m not sure a giraffe could headbut a panda, the angles are all wrong.

  aha! so you can visualise a giraffe’s head missing the panda!

    I don’t know if I can visualise it. I don’t “see a picture” or run a video in my head. Thoughts are a complicated web of interlinked ideas that constantly change as you focus on them. Telling me to visualise something like that brings up lots of ideas which include what giraffes and pandas look like, but also thoughts about how levers work, links to zoos where I have seen giraffes and pandas, the panda toy I had (and lost) as a kid, a whole mess of things that are definitely not visual, And it’s all simultaneous, it’s not like one single thing.
