Ok, this is fucking scary. There are people who have no inner monologue and cant picture things in their head. They literally cant think. Right now I want you to think "What should I eat tomorrow" and think about it in your head and come up with an answer without speaking. There are people who literally cant do this. NPC meme is not even a fucking meme, its real. These are the people who would be working in the fields hundreds+ years ago. Now they can vote, they can run for office, they can change laws, but they cant fucking think, literally!!!!
Ok, this is fucking scary. There are people who have no inner monologue and cant picture things in their head...
The idea of saying words in your head makes no sense to them. Their minds are always blank
I forgot the picture
They walk among us and they vote blue
S A G E
SAGE
Whats it like to not be able to think? Does it scare you?
Most of these people are misunderstanding it though. They think you should see a literal apple in the blackness which is behind your eyelids, which is not how imagination works. They are normal, however the people without inner monologues are retarded
You dont understand. See The idea of seeing an image in their head is blowing their mind. They have only ever seen darkness. Its quite fucking scary
Honestly I didn't even know this was a fucking thing.
Like yeah, "npc dumb heh"
But fuck, man. I truly don't understand this level of retard. I cannot comprehend it. I am no genius but Jesus tapdancing Christ how the actual fuck can you exist solely on autopilot?
These motherfuckers don't even realize they're retarded. soulless vessels? Their internal NPC defense programing automatically puts up the fucking Iron Dome when they're challenged on their thoughts or habits or life choices. The NPC Iron Dome normalizes their behavior by telling the person that everything is cool.
Everything isn't cool. These are some dumb fucks.
>They think you should see a literal apple in the blackness which is behind your eyelids, which is not how imagination works.
uh.. sorry to say mate, but nah, you're wrong.
It's literally there
so you do you the apple?
Can you both picture and make an abstract of the apple?
This is like sociopath shit. Movies where the character is thinking but you can hear their inner monologue, they thought that was just a fake Hollywood thing. That people cant hear in their own head. It scares me that these people want to tell me whats best for me when they cant even think. I still dont understand how they are even able to read without saying the words in their mind
Well yeah. It's a fucking apple. Just conjure up in your mind what the fuck an apple is visually as well as some general applicable shit about apples. That they come in different colors, they're fruit, people use them for pies and whatnot.
I am failing to fully comprehend the issue. Do some people just, like, not have shit in their heads?
Like I say Golden Gate bridge. Shouldn't you conjure up that big red bridge in your mind? And that it's in San Francisco? Maybe the fucking title card for Full House or some shit?
Is that not a thing for people?
I legitimately do not fucking understand this concept of not being able to use one's brain.
The fuck? the npc meme is real?!
You really think these motherfuckers read?
>literally doesn't see the apple
You're seeing half the picture, retard
All they see is blackness. If you ask them to close their eyes and imagibe something. They cant. All they see is darkness. They cant even think "I dont see anything". They have to say it out loud
It's not a matter of one using their brain or not. It's a matter of those who can see a literal and abstract image of a thought and those who only see an abstract thought. You're the latter.
There really needs to be a "Can you think" test to vote. Fuck, all 50 states would be red
Literally not this, ignore this fag.
I've always thought imagination was the strangest thing, it's like, it's not that blackness, it's somewhere above and beyond it in some other timeless place.
Regardless of how stupid they may be, they are people, part of the populous, and therefore represented by the government they vote for. We do live in a democracy. Assuming you're from the states.
Are you retarded? Read what they say in the pics I posted. All they see is darkness, they cant even think
I get tripped out by it too. I can't see the apple with my eyes, yet I can create it in my mind and I know exactly what it would look like if I could see it.
wait how do they remember things? cant they just bring up a memory of a apple and keep that picture in their mind?
Clearly stated in the first line, third sentence "conjure up in your mind what the fuck an apple is visually..." and then proceeded to deliver abstracts. Meaning, "this is what an apple literally looks like, and these are abstract details about apples"
reddit reposting, cool
also create a study where you measure general intelligence between the 2 groups before calling them retarded, maybe it's an efficiency thing.
i can see the apple but it takes some noticeable effort to conjure it..also much easier to picture it in my hand rather than on its own
People who cant think should not be allowed to vote.
0/10
Literal retard troll who believes his own bs
Lmao this is fake right? No way this shit is real
They have memories, they just cant picture the beach they went to or the banana they ate. They know they did it, they just cant picture it
People who can't think deserve equal representation. Personally, I think you're so closed-minded that you're borderline retarded, but I still think you should have a vote. Do you see where I'm coming from now?
So you are one step above NPC, congrats. You are literally king of the people who cant think. Literally a one eyed man in a world of the blind
Perhaps non functioning retards should be allowed to vote since they too cant think and also deserve representation yes?
Holy shit that's cool
Dude thats scary as fuck. These people think they know whats best for you and everyone else
literally this
I call absolute bullshit, there is no way these people don't talk to themselves in their heads. It's just a thing we all do, right? To check if what we say is retarted or not and these people are just tryna feel special because I refuse to believe they go on with their day without a single thought popping up in their heads
literally
I think there should be some cutoff. Maybe the bottom 1%. That should encompass all non functioners and those of us that are very, very stupid.
You’re retarded
But what you're suggesting is cutting off 20% of the vote! These people may be dumb as fuck but they are people nonetheless.
It's not a matter of if people use their imagination or not. It's a matter of if who can literally picture imaginations and their abstracts and those who can only picture abstracts thoughts.
There are benefits to both
I wonder if there's a link to 1's being artists, having imagination?
I can create very vivid scenarios in my head, man I can fucking taste the Apple how can people not see anything?
I don't want this to be true it's going to give me a superiority complex
>literally doesn't see the apple and only the idea of the apple
>still calling someone retarded for using twice the brain power that you can
maybe something like this
They don’t read.
Have you ever listened to 12th grade/ college kids try to read out loud? HOLY FUCK they can BARELY pronounce words they don’t routinely see on twitter. This is why I root for serial killers.
These “people” aren’t even human, they’re soulless husks fueled by propaganda and consumerism. Not a single original thought, not a single non mainstream belief.
I suppose is possible all these people are lying about not having inner monologue but lets be honest, most these same people have very similar beliefs that to you or me would seem extremely retarded but makes sense to them because they cant think, SJW's are the perfect example. A study needs to be done because this is fucking mind blowing
A woman talks about being an artist and wonders if it would help he career if she could imagine things in the third pic I posted
Imagine doing some cringy shit and not having to relive that shit because you literally can't picture it in your mind.
So when I try to imagine something, I can see the image clear as day, or recall a memory visually, and I can think inside my own head.
However, when i imagine an image of something, it's more like a quick flash. For example, if I tried to imagine a red ball, I can see a brief flash of it or I see 100x versions of it in a second(s).
Anyone else like this? Or when you imagine something can you focus on the same exact still image perpetually and without the image changing or disappearing?
when you put it that way being an NPC is almost a super power
they can still picture the event, the emotions and what not, just not literally. This opens their brains to their own interpretations of the events rather than the literal happenings.
How people interpret imagination is not always the same way others do, there's a portion of people who don't believe their imagination is as strong as others because other describe it much more vividly than it actually is
Don't feel superior over low thought perspective
I rarely meet smart conservatives.
>he thinks taking n times longer to process a thought makes him smart!
You just have to practice man, try to look at an object for one second and keep that image in your head. It's like snapping a picture but with your head. It's helpful when a nice ass passes by
Retards. I will bother replying just this once, to prevent others from making this mistake. The people shown in these screencaps are basically trolling or very young, both of which aren't unusual to see on Twitter. Considering this, you must be extremely gullible and naive to take anything written there seriously, and I seriously hope you guys don't do this or are also pretending just for the sake of it. If that's the case, don't you have anything better to do with your time?
Just choose not to relive it, that is just a level of neuroticism you can unlearn with practice
>thinks imagining and thinking about the apple takes longer to think about than one who can't even picture the apple
>being this retarded
So how do you even live and are you worried you'd be a target for eugenics?
this
Yeah, your mom
No one remembers the way you’re describing.
I think I can memorize an image of something well enough. I often have vivid fantasies before I sleep, and can imagine all the imagery associated with them.
I think my challenge is just not being able to maintain a still image in my head. And, if I do see a still image, it's a brief flash and requires I try to think of it again to see it again.
>literally thinking he's smart enough to ignore the fact that there are people who literally can't picture things in their heads.
>implying they wouldn't be more prone to social media
Take a step back and use that powerful inner monologue to deduce the reasoning behind what's being said young man
I can imagine and all that good shit. When it comes to remember a specific thing, like a picture for example. The longer I try to hold the image the more it becomes fuzzy or a blur, so I have to like reset the image if that makes sense. Not sure im explaining this correctly as to how remembering a picture works for me. But making something up in my head is the opposite, it doesnt blur out and I dont have to reset. This probably sounds retarded but its hard to put into words
the ability to not give a fuck and mean it is more impressive than being able to literally picture things or not
it's what separates the chads from the rest of us
Well I wouldnt expect someone like you who has trouble thinking to understand logic
I..don't understand how someone can't have that ability.
Fuck
The artistic imagination also varies by kind as well as degree. One of my friends can draw likenesses and caricatures from memory, something I'd can't do. On the other hand he can't choreograph dancey abstract imagery to music playing in the head, something I do with the same kind of negligent ease that he does his very different kind of thing.
Yes I agree fellow NPC. I too can think and imagine. Please ignore this thread now everyone and go back to watching TV. No need to think, just do
>he thinks that talking to himself is normal or healthy
Shouldn’t you already know what you think? Interesting if you don’t and have to discuss it...with yourself. I’m pretty sure there’s a medical term for that.
>literally can't even picture what a young man looks like
>just assumes everyone who makes him feel like an idiot is a young man
write me an essay on how you would describe a young man. Don't worry, you don't need to provide images. I can't expect too much from you
Perfectly normal. The more you focus the less clear it is. Memory is better viewed in the peripherals.
If somebody asks me for my name or birthday it takes a while to answer because i have to picture the words in my brain.
Is everyone like that or am i retarded?
This kind of exaggeration can only come from a republican
>literally admits to not having introspection and can't talk to oneself
>implying ignorance isn't bliss
Nah man, I do that too. The whole date pops in my head and I just take a second to reply
I can see that apple in high quality detail, but only where I look so to speak, much like a dream. In that at first glance it seems accurate, but if you could actually generate a picture of what was in my head I'd wager it's missing large chunks and looks quite odd, similar to how we have a literal blind spot in our vision that is omitted in a way that makes us unable to see this blind spot in most situations.
No just neurotic, socially anxious, ADD, scatterbrained, or all of the above.
No, you fucking retard. Admit that democracy is garbage
i have a similar thing where i can't do left and right without imagining an example first. like what side i hold the pen or where my heart is
sucks when giving directions while driving...
They are called trumptards
Interesting. I think there are some things that I just chunk in my brain, date of birth, card and I'd numbers, addresses and that kind of thing. Sort of come out as single pieces of info without having to think about it.
Shit at conversation though. That takes me a while.
Well we cant have a dictatorship because if an NPC inherits the throne we are fucked. At least with a democracy a test can be given to weed out those who cant think
Some think in words, some in sounds, some in visuals, some think in abstracts and others think in pure concepts.
We think differently, all of us - we find a way to be cognisant of the world in the manner which suits us best, or which we just stumple upon first.

>Trumptards

Jesus its worse than I thought
Why so butthurt?
It's 2am, get the fuck over it bitch.
I don’t have to have a conversation in real time...our brains-well, my brain, is designed to do that faster than a normal person can comprehend.
I like to have very vivid escapist fantasies where I live my perfect life every night before I go to sleep. Is that weird?
I take back what I said. I just saw one video on aphantasia and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The NPC meme is actually real, what the fuck
>It's 2am
>Time zones dont exist
The more I lurk this thread the more it becomes clear you cant think
Nope, I get those too.
No, thats actually normal. NPC's cant imagine so if you were an NPC you would just see black and not think
Doing it according to a schedule is a bit weird. Having escapist fantasies on a daily basis isn't, especially if your real life leaves much to be desired.
>trying to cope this hard
>m-my brain w-works faster!

Nah bro, you literally don't think as much
Babies first redpill. You should visit Cred Forums. Just remember, you cant unlearn the things they will teach you
glad to know i'm not alone man. it's weird having to pause for a second to think. every cop I've spoken to thinks i'm giving them a fake name and when i try to explain it to them they look at me like i'm retarded or think i'm strait up lying.
they're a bunch of half-wits who think even less
The more you redditfags talk the more I don't have to think of something new to make fun of you.

You are literally wasting the little brain power you have analyzing every little thing. You may not be stupid, but you sure are foolish.

Fuck off back to Cred Forums newfag
Interesting, I've noticed most Cred Forumstards will ignore actual conversations and observations, but jump at the shitflinging with joy and energy.
I in particular like how they call each other NPC and other such derogatory terms, because they're so full of themselves they can't imagine any other way to think or sense the world.
Experience and humility is sorely needed here.

This is the unfortunate, scary reality of sheeple humans. “Tell us what to do now.” Controlled. Wake, work, eat, shit, fuck. Watching dumb-ass tv, commercials piped into their dumb heads, commercialized music, processed food. Those in control want this “zombie state”. Because if they wake up then they start thinking and asking questions, defiance, independent thought. The unfortunate reality is if everyone “woke”, much of the current system would collapse. The blue-collar workforce would realize that they have been treated like dumb cattle.

“Hey, ___________”
And I’m the one with the issue.
The difference is that there are some who can picture your unrelated pic for their minds later, and those who can only picture the emotions they felt from it.
Yes, it's a shame they're not as awake and unique as you.
eat shit you horrible cunt
I would rek u so hard irl
Behind the wheel works for me. Takes the edge off, and makes way for the cerebellum to do its automatic chauffeur sort of thing. The drawback is that it makes driving an unfamiliar route all the more frustrating, by contrast to the dreamy flying that the routine trips are like.

w-woah man
WW2 is like soo cool
...or who will enjoy the concept of it, others will get hard at the abstraction, others again at the tingling proprioception it gives them.
There are more ways to experience the world than you think, clearly.
Just sayin..
Eat shit faggot trump will own your ass he is a real man
Quality over quantity, my guy.
Gosh, you are really unique and special, I see that now, such a superior intellect gracing us poor NPC's with your presence.
/snark
I can do anything but an apple wtf
I wonder who is behind trump?
That's just because he was too much of a pussy to break the law and wasn't in politics long enough to be corrupt.
There are those who can both see it literally and abstractly, and those who only see it in abstract.
There is no such thing as no wrong way of living. That is something we tell ourselves and others to feel better about themselves.
is "woke" the most gaslighted term of all time? when i first heard it years ago around the occupy wallstreet time it meant to be aware of the top down financial control structure and the propaganda mill. then at some point it was warped into the exact opposite of that and now means being completely ignorant of real problems and being focused entirely on irrelevant and divisive wedge issues. all while still using the term "woke" as if to say that the people who are fully buying into the propaganda are actually the ones who are "awake" and not the other way around
Reparations at work. Just sayin.
So basically, what you’re saying is, you experience the “Common Core” version of thinking.
Just because there’s more steps doesn’t make it better.
Trump is as much of a man as you are faggot
Okay, change it to hyper-enlightenment then. The intelligent and educated mostly know that this is what the world is. They are aware of it but make enough to compensate for the misery of the grind.
>trying to cope with his single-stepped thinking by applying to superior brain thinking.
>not realizing that better brains think faster and better
Yes, that was my point.
>literally thinking having to abstractly talk-through the idea of an image is more efficient and quantitative than both picturing and abstractly idealizing the image is.
>being this slow at picturing being wrong
When I first saw that “Jesus brought us Trump” sign, my mind wanted it to think that it was meant as a joke. Then when I saw the footage and the people, the depressing reality took hold. Same on the left thinking that Trump is Hitler. They need to be culled.
Oh holy god almightly, despite your delicious digits you are both absolute idiots.
You've devolved into "no u" argumentation, never moving forwards but unwilling to back down.
So it's all snark and greentexts trying to make "no u" sound novel each time.
This is an opportunity to have a conversation about how we see the world differently, and all you can do I go "I'm smarter" vs "No, I'm smarter" ad infinitum.
>big brain
>only knows one type of reply
Really not helping your case here.
Concrete thinking isn't just a fad, who would've thought?
Sarcasm is the first step towards self-defeat
At least you can picture the abstract idea of sarcasm, just not the literal image of your face when you realize it in a mirror.
And to think some random images from memories of places I've been hit me sometimes with so much strenght I spasm or wake up. I mean, like being punched with a memory, as how vivid it is.
He is so much more than I will ever be. He is like some kind of hecules or a Greek god full of masculine vigor and strength,
You haven't the first inkling of my thought processes, nor of my ability to visualise/conceptualise reality.
The snark was well deserved, because you're a child, full of himself, arrogant and utterly ignorant of the larger world. You need to now more before you can admit to knowing less.
they’re not wrong though
A bit off. I hope that baby manages to find a way out of the working class cycle of hell.
they're not wrong in going "no u" incessantly?
Or calling each other dumb?
Wow you must be really fat.
Column a, column b .
Wow, you must be real troll.
When I think of something, I can vaguely see it in my mind but it goes away, I can't really see it in the black of my eyelid. Sometimes though when I'm laying down trying to sleep, if I focus for sometime, I can sometimes eventually see pictures like it's in front of me, but it's hard to keep it there for more than a second or two. When I smoke weed and do it, I can sometimes replace the blackness of my eyelid with bigger pictures but not covering the whole vision. One time when I Smoked a lot after an MDMA session, I could see all my thoughts, hundreds of them racing in front of me, instead of blackness, I could think of a face, and it would appear before me in detail. I remember imagining a bunch of different faces, but the only specific one I can think of now is Arnold Schwarzenegger, that was funny. I thought about a beach, snowy landscapes, deserts, and they filled up my whole vision in full HD, like it was snowing, I could see the waves crash upon the beach and shit.
There is no conversation to be had except that which will divulge to self flattery and appeasement. All of which in the guise of humbleness. We can discuss the differences between these self conscious thoughts, their imagery, and their capabilities, their pros and cons, but it won't change what the underlying message is. There are people who can think with clear imagery and abstract terms, and there are those who can only think in abstract terms or with clear images.
It's easy to tie in the thought processes of those who are deaf, never heard words, and have been linked to only think in sign language, but even in those cases there are distinguishable differences in these thought process who some can only process the sign language at a single time, and those who can process both the imagery and language at the same time.
>I'm wrong therefor you're a child
>I know you are but what am I
Didn’t answer the question
Actually reading thru comments, it seems a large amount of artists have it. One even made an animated YouTube video about it. My bf has this, claims to barley see a 4, and is a pretty good artist too. It’s weird.
Looking more into it, there’s a guy who could do it but after a surgery lost the ability which is what led to the research of it
Have these people literally never daydreamed about absolute disgusting sex with their crushes? I feel like that’s exactly why I have such a vivid imagination lul. Works well tho, it helps conceptualize stuff like maths
Wonder how many of these sheep are dead from opiate od’s.
Inverting the terms of discourse is the usual bullshit practiced by anyone with wealth and power who is ever hungry for still more of it, and never ever satisfied with a comfortable measure of it. "Always project" seems to be the guiding principle when it comes to casting political aspersions, and the mood of muddled equivocation like that conjured by the witches in Macbeth.
Fair is foul and foul is fair
Hover through the fog and filthy air.
The theme is much older than Orwell or Machiavelli.
Maybe you can't enter any conversation without wanting to boost yourself, others however may just be curious and interested in the topic.
But you'll never know, you clearly don't think that way (yet).
Also, yes, you are a child. Or at the very least immature.
Didn't address the topic.
How many of them are named Tim?
Clearly not by visualisation.

Shit OP I believe I have this shit, I tried to think of apples, my car, friends face. But all I can see is black; however, I can remember features, so for instance, I see black but I recall things in the black. So I cant see my truck but I think gray, Tacoma. I think of my friends and I see black but I remember glasses but dont see it when I remember it. This better be some fucking iOS8 shit.
Zoomer joke?
is it like seeing the picture literally in your mind like youd see a tv screen?
fuk anons im rly scared i have it fuck pls helb i can imagine what thing look like and i have my own inner thoughts but im scared now ogod o fuck i mshaking and crying do i have aphantasias
If you're interested in this topic than it shows your own naivety. You're speaking the humble bullshit I was talking about. Get you head out your ass and get real. No one believes in a curious mind without their own motives.
i can literally see an apple and rotate it around.
it's not real-life vivid but it's fucking there yeah
i like imagining machines and making them work properly. like imagine a car driving down the road. what happens if you change the properties of its suspension? i can see the effects of that in my mind without having to think very hard about it.

Probably not.
No, YOU don't believe in a curious mind without motives.
Probably because you're on Cred Forums more than you'd like to admit? As this is the way people interact here.
At any rate, this is futile, I was an idiot to think any fruitful conversation could happen here.

I say words to me, but I can't picture anything other than a 4.
thinking in abstract is no less thinking, you moron.

Get ready for “If you look like this you may be on a watch list” facial recognition database.
I don’t get why you replied to my post? I’m not an incel if that’s what your implying
I'm able to read and shit, like I can read in morgan freemans voice if I please, even though I can't sound like him when I speak. But, I can't picture anything in my head when I recall it, like is this an instant thing people can do or is it like you close your eyes and a minute or two in you can see it? But I can describe everything about an apple in my head with my eyes closed, I just can't see anything. Shiet
please answer me anons i mfucking having a PANIC ATTACK FUCK is there a DAMN CURE FOR APHANSTATSN
well so it's not all great because to even imagine that i had to go see it happening and play some sims to reinforce that the motion comes from variable properties. with no context it would be very difficult.
imo planes are easier to picture. imagine a paper airplane and then try to move up in size until you can conjure a 747 taking off and landing.
Like how? Hearing sounds of Tyrone cucking them? Fucking npcs
Relax, you’re just autistic

Affirmation of such projections.

At any rate, I doubt you'd literally remember what occurred here. Just the abstract thoughts are enough for your open-minded echo brain.
If they don't read, how are they replying to say they have no inner monologue?
It wouldn't make sense
>Hearing sounds of Tyrone cucking them?
That one is entirely on you, where do you get this shit from? Why on earth would you think that image up?
Same, I don’t even have to close my eyes, I can just picture stuff right away. I’m in grad school for stem tho, so that might explain it as a character trait

that’s a real fatty answer if I ever heard one
i too see darkness, and the longer i peer into it the more light i see. eventually the light becomes things, and against the blackness they are clear enough to work with. you have to sit there and build it in your head like you're shaping clay. it won't appear to you until your mind is satisfied with the result.
when people speak to me i see words like captions especially if i'm trying to listen.
when i close my eyes to sleep all i see is the void until the dreams come.
when i was younger i would close my eyes and gently press downward from the top corners just under the ends of my eyebrows. i don't know why but it gave me temporary blindness, and all could see was an endless rushing tunnel generated presumably by my choked ocular nerves. it was wild. highly recommend, but do not hold it for long and do not press hard, you will know when you hit the right spot because your vision will start to fade immediately.

Wait, I am someone who does not have an image in my head but I am able to describe an apple out of memory and experience in the absence of anything but black. I also speak in my head while I read and can even have other people read instead of my voice. I dont believe I am retarded NPC cuck who can not decipher things. But rather I skipped the step of having to take an image and break them into words and have words to describe them. I do not see words, nor do I see pictures or images. But I guarantee I could describe it in words better

FUCK Y(OIU ASSHOLED WHNAT ARE YOLU EVEN SAYING FUCK ING RESTARD
So when will the great NPC war begin? Clearly we have a right over those who cannot so much as think and imagine on their own, yes? I call dibs on conquering the blonde aryan qts with small tits
I BUST RESTARD DIS CONBERSADION, I HAB A HEDCOD! *sniff*
NIIGGER YOU DONT EVEBN MAKME SINCE FUCK HY(OU KYS YOURSELDF
First you have to prove u see Apple in head, otherwise you only get tranny vag
Nigga did you just memorize the properties of an apple? Wtf how do you even live
NPCs
Okok WOA wtf is the back story here, that pic is hella nasty.
Please explain what and how you got that pic
Describe an apple then nigga
We are misunderstanding us here, i commented on the: " i dont have an inner monolouge part" hence doubting that these people think for themselves.
As people stated befor, non imagininity doenst mean you arent thinking
You clearly seem to do it, so no problem here.
Dibs on slavic qts
I don't know, hopefully this is all from me getting oblegerantly drunk and being sleep deprived. But I feel like ive always thought this way. I thought everyone has. But, I can still read in my voice and others. Images, is just remembering properties. For instance, I have seen the Eiffel Tower, but as hard as I try its not an image, I just remember properties. I guess I just skip what other cucks need to see images.
They obviously read out loud
You're retarded
GOT HIM!
why? You getting hard? Anyone else stroking?
I think its just a "hows your brain wired" thing. You propably do more thinking in your right hemisphare of the brain, wich is more prone to store data and categorize them, then the left site, wich is more abstract abd intuitive.
>creates unfalsifiable justification for claiming superiority over others
>OMG THIS IS SO SCARY
>PPL I DISAGREE WITH LITERALLY DONT HAVE BRAINS
Do you people ACTUALLY wonder why normies don't like you?
This is clearly a troll to make people think about apples
There is green, red, and even dark red (slightly color blind so can't delve into the maroons and shit). There is usually a stripped effect of varying colors for apples such as honey crisp apple. In green apples and slightly in red there are small black divots, similar to black heads. The curvature is almost heart shaped; however, instead of curving together to a point it comes back to a crater with multiple ridges at the bottom for stability. With a nipple like greenery on the bottom. From the top it is a stem that tends to curve to one side more than other, the stem is inside of a crater that gets deep fast, progressing higher is the first rise, and is usually a smooth rise to the outside of the apple. An apple has a crisp thin first layer, with a sponge inside that tends to be a light yellow or white color. The skin is taught and tends to stay taught unless it is old, if old it the skin gets soft and dark grey usually in a circular or oval pattern. The inside of the core is a column in which multiple seeds cocoon in the sponge style meat. The inside core gets hard and is usually a lighter color than the meat. The seeds are black and tear drop shaped in a very drastic drop that is not as thicc on the bottom of the seed. The seed is always in the inner most core and in a circular pattern and when eaten to close it falls off and the inner hard core has a divot. Apples tend to grow on trees that look similar to cherry blossom trees and tend to have small limbs in which it is easier for the fruit to fall off. However, it tends to have a tendency to have a thicker stump than the cherry blossom.
Yup called it
This whole thread is a sad attempt at mind control
need more pics
Well then that’s really being an NPC, since the whole point of being human is to be able think creatively, not be some bot that can remember simple facts
But I dont see the apple, its more like I think apple and in the blackness, my conscious voice reads a file on all previous apples and I slowly come up with the words. Its pure black and nothing is there just remembering other apples (with no pictures) just pure words.
Is that the reason why normans like vacation photos so much?
Like i just enjoy the beach while they have to photograph everything
Either they got you trying to think about apples or you are one of them.
Hot, I’m stroking
This makes my penis turn 360 degrees and shrivel up
The ability to express one way or the other is a demonstrative admission of thought conception. Everyone has it. Inner monologue doesn't always come in the form of a cinematic voiceover that fills unspoken scenes of conference. And internal projections of imagry aren't always easily recalled video files. It's a matter of focus in most instances. A rarer circumstance that produces of this sort of cognitive tendency is (by whatever cause) the neurological disconnect between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, which based on the scale of damage/malformation, effects the transmission of information between the two ultimately manifesting as an incomplete retreval of stored information. Ideally compensation for this(similar to sensory deptivation) comes in the form of abnormally high and sometimes over-taxing priority on the enduring connections by the conscious mind. The point is, these aren't npcs, they're aspies, and the attention deficient. I don't think I know an aspie without the ability to conceive thought, but to present stored information for them can be impossible. Imagine trying to communicate but only being able to do so through limited excerpts and retained soundbytes retained in moments that happen about as often as deja-vu? Philosophically, people with either just seem a little immature. Aspies do tend to lean left, but I think it's because of the tendency of R&D concerning their condition(s) being publicly funded.
They got me to think about apples. But when you think of apples do you see an image? I do not see an image. This is a fair topic. For me, I had always thought people thought in black abyss, but I found out today that people are able to conjure an image when they close there eyes. While me personally it is not an image but rather words to describe it. This may be "mind control" in testing how many people you can get to think about apples. But is it not curious and not benefical for ones who don't see images and those to who do know about how others think. How many times have you thought about how other thought. Or processed information.
Left and right are a social construct
Theres nothing logical about it, its just an arbitrary convention
Its not bad to be bad at remembering stuff like this
Only an npc would claim otherwise as arbitrary conventions are all they'll ever have
Ok, but I neither have ADHD or Asperger, I ave been tested. Only have color blindness and need glasses. Even was tested for being slightly deaf. And my hearing was perfectly fine, just increase production of earwax. But what would you classify as my case.
Oof. News disagrees.
wtf? i hear my own voice in my head all the time. i thought everyone can picture something in their minds. i mean it's not that hard, think about a word long enough and sooner or later a picture begins to form, it's abstract first but gets more 'physical' the longer i think about it.
I did a little experiment rn and thought about the word 'spaceship' fired up gimp and quickly painted what i saw. pic related is the result (i'm not good at drawing). i'm honestly concerned there are people who can't do this, like they are some kind of biological automata.
This is me For instance, when I think of the woman, I met last night drunk as fuck. Who I talked with for 2 or 3 hours. We me outside in the apartments parking lot due to a drinking game. And back home the next day I can think of her face; however, there is no image in front of me. The black void is met with me remembering features and using words to describe them
here's another one, also check'em
Ya, but do you see a picture of a spaceship or do you have to decipher what you remember into, for instance a picture you draw. For instance my apple description, But this does not mean that I saw or see an apple in the abyss blackness of my eyes closed. This is what the thread is about, some people are able to see what the thing they focus on in the blackness, while I believe you and I do not. Or you are retarded and don't know how to write your thoughts.
it's mor like a process and it's really hard to describe but i'll try.
>be me
>think about spaceship
>like a really fast slideshow images rush through my mind
>images are pretty chaotic
>some details like colors, wings, engines stay the same though
>images kind of 'merge' into a single spaceship
>thought.exe exited with exit code 0
>spaceship done
>have a static image in my mind
>draw image
>done
literally seeing an image behind your eyelids seems like some kind of rare savant skill like having a photographic memory
instead of picturing a apple try the color white.
thinking of a white room helps.
this is what i do when i'm stressed, but imagining a blank room hard. it requires alot of mental self control and concentration to lock out all other thoughts.
This is me but instead of pictures it is words, and I slowly build these words into what I would describe as an apple. Not see, but rather describe. I can describe and "see" an apple in the sense that in the complete blackness of my eyes closed I can describe with the words that I have accumulated with that word. So when I think of the word its not like a lego star wars charecter creation where there are select images that come into one when all are brought out or through. For me its more as if you took a cross word puzzle and you find the things in the space section for space ships and you can process what a space ship is due to the words that correlate with that I'm trying to think.
But ya this is like trying to describe the color red. How do I know that your red is not everyone else purple. (Obviously counting out the factor of colorblindness/which I slightly have). These are just impossible things to grasp, similar to trying to explain to a women what having an erection is like. Another limb that they never had, they can conceive a bigger clitoris, but it is feasibly impossible for them to replicate that of which a penis and erection feels like. Similarly to the even more sensitive, highly nerve dense and small clitoris. Personally I can't imagine a even more sensitive penis the size of a pea.
I've played the entire GTA V campaign in my head, these people can't imagine an apple? Has to be fake
yes but were you inside the game in full 3D completely unaware of the blackness of your closed eyes? thats what these people are saying
You think you’ve got it bad, look what it did to mine!!
I can describe what that would look like, and can think of all the things in the monk episode in which he goes into a clean room. But it is not a image or something I "see." Its still just black with the exception of the lights of my monitors seeping through. I can fully describe every bit of it, but its not like i see (see picture) for when I think of an apple or white room. Like when you close your eyes this is something you would see when you think apple? You dont just think and correlate apple like things? Its pure black and some light escaping in.
I think this might be my confusion, like I do not see anything other than black. However, I can picture things with words and describe it in my head. But its not like it just comes in. I can still dream vivid dreams with better quality than real life (because glasses). But that does not mean I can see what Im trying to picture in a picture in front of my eyes surrounded by blackness.
maybe some people think imagebased while others think textbased and some obviously don't think at all.
that's actually an interesting thought some smart dude said once "creativity is intelligence having fun" i think that's true
I had to close my eyes and see a tapdancing jesus christ
Different user but I don’t even close my eyes and watch movies in my head when I’m bored
yes that is normal. what some people are saying is that they LITERALLY see things other than black. not just have a good imagination. somehow this got off track and started talking about internal speech which isn't really related. everyone whos not an npc has internal speech and can imagine
You're looking for a diagnosis in the wrong place, and document your behavior as candidly as possible(get a trusted friend to do it). And get that to a specialist. That would make classification easier, maybe.
same here but i listen to music
Sorce please?
Ya true, I have always loved to read, and when ever as a child my mother would read me Tolkiens Lord of the Rings, I would never see what they would look like. It was more similar to code (not that I saw 1s and 0s) where I saw in previous things I have seen and compared a pair of notes on similarities and smashing them into something the Shire. Or when I went to the theaters to watch them when they came out and reread the books, I did not see the green hills of the shire in front of my eyes surrounded in black, but rather words of the shire came to my mind. As if an announcer was reading in my own voice things like green, hills, farms, hobbits, wood circle doors.
Has to be who can't just imagine things in their head or read in their head
like a full on trip where you're literally watching the movie and are unaware of your surroundings? or just a really good memory of every scene and line
wait so its like sherlock were random words just pop up
I can't visually see things (at least not clearly) but I can use the "voice in my head". Am I an NPC?
Yes the first one. It’s daydreaming, I get lost in it and lose attention to real life. Can a person daydream if you think text based?
thats a little weird honestly. like halfway schizo
Maybe they never watched the imagination spongebob episode
Nah I’m pretty sure it’s normal. Haven’t you ever seen movies where the kid gets in trouble for daydreaming in class and wasn’t paying attention? Have you never had that situation?
I was thinking of that this entire time. I guess I'm squidward
These guys must ge professional mediataters. "Close your eyes and clear your mind of all thoughts"
Thats not what this image means. Almost no one can actually see anything in their minds eye, yet almost every one can draw an apple without a picture or physical apple for reference.
Everyone has internal dialogue, they just aren't all as autistic as you and have to say "im thirsty" in their head before realizing they are actually thirsty.
Imagine thinking you're so amazing that you think other people dont have thoughts, lol.
Its cringe and brainlet tier
of course. but i think we're having a communication breakdown over what the word "literally" actually means here. in fact that's a recurring theme in this entire thread
same here, read tons of books when i was a kid and i think reading is the key to imagining stuff simply because you're forced to imagine everything from words and at some point your mind is able to construct thoughts on its own.
For me it's not like the object i'm trying to imagine is surrounded by blackness, it's more like a short snippet of a movie scene. for example when i thought about spaceships i imagined an industrial looking freighter, with cargo holds along it's hull, tanks scattered over the whole ship, a comfy looking bridge, flying by with stars and planets in the background.
Nah
Uh no, sociopaths have very intense internal dialogue compared to normal people. Everyone who knows a language has internal dialogue. If you think otherwise, you're literally retarded
I can picture a billion apples or borrg cube size apples. Whatever i want I can imagine. Literally anything. Can't everyone
fest gay lol
then why are some people saying they don't have internal dialogue? are they too dumb to realize it? baiting?
Does anyone else think of time spatially? Like a week is a short circuit, with the week days being together in one part, and the weekend being together in another part.
Or like a year, Its a longer, wider circuit, with the "corners" or "turns" in the circuit usually corresponding to major holidays, breaks, etc?
Its a VERY vague notion of space for me, but its there.
I also have thoughts organized spatially a little bit too, like, in the darkness behind my vision. Kind of like when you're trying to remember something and you turn your head and eyes in a certain direction? Again, its a very vague notion. A lot of my memories are also very spatial. I recall the place that I was sitting or standing within a room or space when I remember stuff, not just visuals but dialogue too.
I guess there are very few NPCs because basically 90% of all people daydream or fantasize before sleeping
Probably both. Some people, a very very small amount, like less than 1/10th of a percent, have extreme difficulty with internal dialogue and those people most certain have diagnose learning disorders, like extreme versions of dyslexia. But even they have internal dialogue.
Things like language impossible without it. Some birds can mimic words, but actually stringing them together into a sentence requires internal dialogue.
If you see someone ask "what language do bilingual people speak in", you'll see everyone understands what the question means, and no one dissents or objects to the idea of "thinking" in a particular language.
no, its actually extremely common.
Only people with photographic memories or extremely rare conditions like synesthesia can actually "picture" an apple.
Most people only systematically understand what an apple is and can "know" what is looks like without picturing it.
What I meant though, is I visualises more like how the author would put it down. So when I read things about characters I did not see them in my head or see movies clips, as you do, but rather I took those words and put them in the folder for Gandalf. I could never see Gandalf, but I knew characteristics from the authors writing, and I used those words to compare with visual things outside of imagination. So when I thought of Gandalf before the movies came out, I thought of "shorter in stature than the other two; but his long white hair, his sweeping silver beard, and his broad shoulders, made him look like some wise king of ancient legend. In his aged face under great snowy brows his eyes were set like coals that could suddenly burst into fire." These words that Tolkien wrote of Gandalf were not instantly created into a character in my head. But rather I used it and compared to real world things, and by that I took them in all together and had a black image with words written in black that I could only hear. So these words would come to mind when I read Gandalf and I would recall all the descriptions of him.
>i can see the apple but it takes some noticeable effort to conjure it
That's called being retarded.
is it easier to remember the books or the movie?
When I sober I can't see shit, but when I'm drunk I see a lot.
Yeah i actualy think in 3d and in different universes and thru time and also right across the light spectrum.
I see the stuff in the inside of my mind, which has no physical place
I can imagine stuff vivid with my eyes open
I don't project the image onto the insides of my eyelids if thats what your saying
>i can emulate that but im not shure if i really project onto my eyelids or just imagine an apple on the inside of exelids
checked. his a total retard i agree. every human has an imagination and inner voice. it's just troll shit
auditory and visual hallucinations are extremely common? because if he was literally watching the movie that's what it would be
I can imagine an apple, and the colors and leaves, etc. But I don't see it like a hologram. I imagine mostly scenarios and don't really put in any detail (including color sometimes) in the background or the appearance I'm talking to. I can if I focus. Am I am NPC?
What about reading? Surely, when you read anything including my post, you hear the words in your head in your own voice. How fucking else would you even realise what you're reading?
I guess some people don't, they just see letters and that's all.
I really havent read the books sense I was a child. So I would say the Movies, sense I have watched them all probably more than ten times. I could describe any scene that you tell me about. If you said, imagine Uruk-hai running through the forest. I cant see in front of me them but I know what there faces look like, the forest looks like and all. I just don't see it when I try to see it, I just remember the things of the scene and can think of the movie but I dont see see it. Like I see black and remeber the movie and can describe it. If that makes sense
Now I really dont know if I have it or not. Its so confusing. I kind of want to go to a doctor and see if I have Aphantasia. From what I read and interpret I think I do. But the mind and visualization is so confusing
I can't imagine an apple as if it's right in front of me with my eyes closed, but I can to the slightest tiniest detail imagine it, having a leaf on it's stem, red hue, crown on top so to say ( idk the english word )and almost pick it up and eat it from my imagination
also with like a bicycle for example, I can imagine everything the pedals, a bell ,wheels et. but I can't close my eyes and see it as if it's front of me. maybe I'm understanding the concept wrong.
sorry for shitty English, not my main language
yes that is the crux of the issue. we're trying to figure out if people are projecting images onto the inside of their eyelids or if they just suck at explaining things
i don't find it hard to picture something in my mind, i draw the images from my memory and its a vivid picture. i can do it with my eyes open and closed
They just suck at explaining things
It is biologically impossible to project something on the eyelids, they can just possibly imagine it
I would say I’m imagining with my eyes closed. But if we’re talking vividness, I can compare the detail to a dream, so isn’t that the same as seeing a mental image? I can also focus on how detailed I want the image
yea i get what you mean
