I do think we should sack the Vatican's vaults, because I'd put money on them having artifacts that contradict official doctrine.

 I've never had Bovril but I've been obsessed with this particular ad for a big chunk of my life, ever since I spent a lot of time looking at it while on psychedelics. He's just such a big brawny boy, and he's so excited that he might get turned into Bovril

Ive never had Bovril as it isn't a thing here really but I'm vaguely aware of it enough that it is funny to me to say 'are you bovriled' in a bad fake cockney accent when I want to say 'u mad' irl

Dameius posted:Do you also lack an internal monologue? Nope, that's present. The idea of people not having an internal monologue is very weird to me, but it's fascinating and I wish there were a better way to study it. Ommin posted:I've always been curious about this. Do your memories not play in your head like a movie or is that something different? I feel like I am on that spectrum somewhere, in that I can visualize things in my mind but really only through memory. I can't or have extreme difficult creating images in my mind or draw an original image (or draw in general); I just see or hear the words I would use. If I concentrate hard on certain memories, I can get something like an image, but it's at best a pale, hazy, indistinct thing that's frustratingly slippery and inconsistent. I've never found a pattern to what sticks in there. For example, goon face blindness is definitely associated with this: I can't remember the faces of people I've known for decades with any clarity, even a few minutes after I've stopped looking at them. The idea of the face sticks in there, but not the image. On the other hand, one of the very few things I can picture well (by my standards) is a series of panels from a graphic novel I read when I was seven, which don't even have any special emotional resonance in the context of the story. I find landscapes especially difficult to visualize realistically, so I maintain a big collection of reference images for them. Some people have it worse than this, and have absolutely zero visualization. I consider myself fortunate to have at least a little bit. Blackula Vs. Tarantula posted:This probably won't help if you have no visualization at all, but the drawing connection goes both ways, learning to draw improves visualization. The most amazing thing about learning to draw is the way it changes the way you see and imagine. I completely believe it, based on the casual interviewing I've done with people about this. I'm convinced that having kids draw and paint - with their actual hands rather than on a screen - is absolutely vital to developing this faculty, but you have to do it early, like pre-verbal early, and reinforce it as much as possible.

I have absolute aphantasia and no internal monologue. With the aphantasia I can't conjure an image no matter how hard I try but I can create an internal monologue if I try it on purpose it just isn't there when I am normally thinking. tbh I really like it because I can't imagine my brain yapping at me constantly, that sounds like a nightmare. It's very easy for me to meditate and anxiety is a rare emotion for me, both of which I attribute to these conditions. One thing that pisses me off though is lately as the idea of no internal monologue has been making the social media rounds I've seen a lot of really dumb internet commentators claim that it means your an NPC because they think internal monologue = thoughts and if you don't have one you literally can't think which is incredibly dumb and infuriating.

What about the memory of your favorite A/V experience? Like seeing your favorite movie in the theater for example. Can you visualize the movie the same way you described or can you get a single frame? A gif? A whole scene? This is so intriguing to me because for my absolute favorite media, if it lands right in my brain, I can basically rewatch from start to finish the entire thing 1:1 in my head.

Tbf I don't know what it's like in the UK but one of the main genres of social media ad I see here is 'celebrity so and so is JAILED for revealing this investment information' and it comes with photoshopped/AI generated pictures of the celebrity being arrested and it's always a crypto scam

Dameius posted:What about the memory of your favorite A/V experience? Like seeing your favorite movie in the theater for example. Can you visualize the movie the same way you described or can you get a single frame? A gif? A whole scene? I have to preface this by saying that I'm not a huge A/V guy, I'm mostly a reader, so even my favorite A/V experiences aren't as memorable as a book that rates as "pretty good." That said, this question made me sit down and think about it for a while. I can get (hazy, indistinct) still images from a handful of films and shows, ones that got burned in by some emotional payload that might have nothing to do with what the movie was intending. Like, one of the first that comes to mind that I can call up is the end of The King's Speech, where I can sorta-kinda picture the microphone he's walking up to. But, I know the only reason that's in there is because the couple behind me were talking through the speech of a movie called The King's Speech, and it's one of the only times I've called an usher into a theater. I can call up a vague picture of the Darth Vader / Obi-Wan lightsaber duel, but I can only see Obi-Wan's face with anything like clarity - the set and Vader are a blur. I can kinda see the xenomorph from Alien extending its mouth-head thing, but it's mostly this series of ominous black curves with silvery highlights rather than anything with real detail. Tiggum posted:If I'm looking at someone and then turn my back, unless I made a point of remembering particular details I won't be able to tell you what they're wearing, what colour their hair is, or anything much at all about their appearance, but I have absolutely no problem recognising people or noticing changes in their appearance. The memory is stored there, I just can't call it up. Yep, this is accurate to my experience, although I do have trouble recognizing people I've only seen in pictures or films/TV. A costume change and a year or two of aging and I have no idea they are until someone points it out, unless they have a seriously distinctive face.

Tiggum posted:Nope. I remember things like they're written stories narrated by me. I don't know how I experience dreams while I'm dreaming, since I'm only conscious of them when I wake up, at which point I remember them the same way as everything else - words. Aha! So if you can imagine words then clearly the solution is to form images with the letters and symbols, like ASCII text!

Tree Bucket posted:This is wild stuff. Are you able to draw? Did you find learning to read especially easy or difficult? I can't draw at all. Even my stick figures come out all wonky and inconsistent. Then again, my handwriting is also basically illegible, and I know I can make the effort to do that better so it's possible I could learn to draw well too, if I were sufficiently motivated.  I don't have any memory of learning to read and I don't know if I was reading at a particularly young age or anything like that. I know I've always been good at spelling, but I attribute that to reading a lot as a child; you see words often enough you get to remember how they go. Did I read a lot because I was particularly good at it? Maybe? Did I read a lot because I was bad at sports (and my parents wouldn't have let me watch TV all day), or was I bad at sports because I spent all my time inside, reading? Who knows?
