And how in the hell does one navigate life, or enjoy a book, if they’re not a #1?! Reading a book is like watching a movie. I subconsciously assign actor’s faces to characters and watch as the book rolls on.
Yet #5’s are not handicapped in the slightest. They’re so “normal” that mankind is just now figuring out we’re far apart on this thing. Fucking weird.
1 or two and rotatable.
Considering your specific example with an apple, what about other senses, what happens if you try and recall texture, smell and taste?
I think I’m 1, but there’s no way to know for sure. I find it easier to call out sounds rather than visuals. I can’t “hear” a voice or a sound if I want to. Visuals seem to require more will for the same fidelity.
but there’s no way to know for sure
draw something from memory on a piece of paper, and then draw the same thing again while looking on a photo. --> can you tell the difference between the two drawings?
That’s a different skill, my hands don’t have to coordination draw from reference.
but I cant draw so well qwq
While we’re at it, when I start falling asleep reading a novel, it just keeps going in my head, like a movie. And believe it or not, the plot is usually a logical progression from where I left off. Stephan King is perfect for this, but that may be because I’ve read his books so many times. May also be because his prose flows so smoothly for me that I can just roll with it.

Either that or aphantasia, a well documented phenomena, is a thing.

People aren’t good at describing their own thoughts.

How ignorant do you have to be to believe people cant accurately describe not having actual images in their mind.

How unobservant do you have to be to see that people are talking past each other on this subject?
