    It’s funny, people make aphantasia out to be a huge disability but ironically that just feels like a lack of imagination on their part. The things where you actually need to see images instead of just abstract thinking are pretty rare.

      it’s not a significant disability frankly, that’s part of the reason it’s only just now received a lot of study. It’s more of a dysfunction than anything.

      It is fundamentally a lack of imagination, we cannot imagine things, it’s impossible. Ironically, it’s quite helpful to some individuals, me in particular i really enjoy any sort of complex stated systems. I can really latch onto those and comprehend them pretty well. I can do artistic things for about fuck all though.
