![Further evidence based explanation of the NPC label. [1024x1686 - 421KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/lqNayV.png){kind=link}
rofl there's actually a label for being an NPC.
What's worse is that it is estimated that 80% of people are unable to do so... The further you look back into history books the more that this concept becomes overwhelmingly obvious.
I am curious what the percentages are as we account for race?
I find it hard to believe 80% of people are unable to do so. I talk in my head all the time, mostly in English, but its slow.
Faster decision making happens without language, such as troubleshooting complex computer problems, the resolution can become clear with each 'touch point' of the problem being iterated over within a split second or two. Faster than I can say the name of one of the touch points. Often these decisions for troubleshooting prove to be accurate, and I suspect it is because it draws from your subconscious experiences.
What do they see though? Is it really nothing, perhaps the term "see" is not accurate? I can visualize, simulating the nerves coming in from my eyes. I can be given a description and form a mental picture, which doesn't involve sight.
/sigh I don't get it
edit - The mental picture can be formed with eyes open, I'm not sure why they need to be closed, but that may be the missing link. Its not what we see, its what we form in our head, even with visual stimuli
Different levels of resolution and at different rates; some people are better at it than others.
I have been 'blessed' with this ability in maximum totality since birth, and can process much more quickly than what is before me, and do so with eyes open. My internal dialogue is far more rich than the world that I live in. I always thought that others were on my level until about 10 years ago; which explains my confused impression of everyone throughout my life.
I believe that this ability can be harnessed and cultivated the same as one would by working out, but to convince someone that an upper limit of their mind is far below their capacity is impossible to do because they cannot see it with their eyes like they can with muscle. Look into meditation if you wish to expand your horizons.
There are images of conversations floating around and studies done to approximate what percentage, and it is shocking really, but nothing definitive that I can point to.

It's not seen literally, but mentally. If they cannot already visualize within the mind, it's an impossible thing to explain. Best example is like day-dreaming, but that which is controlled.
Except that some of the world's smartest people have been aphantasic, so it's not linked to IQ like that.
In fact, did you know aphantasic is overrepresented, specifically among mathematicians? Same with many promenant physicists, etc.
Fuck off with the forced projection. I never once stated IQ. Never once.
It's not a highly studied phenomenon so everything you claim is straight garbage.
Desperately defending his inadequacy
IQ is merely the quantified ability to process logic. Mental imagery is the ability to take those ideas and concepts to assemble them within the mind -- separate from the world and make connections where they could not be realized before.
