im one of these people. internally blind. anyone else?

[luka]

that's something different sufi. aphantasia relates to mental imagry and visualisation.

[craner]

I'm the opposite.

[luka]

you mean only images and nothing else? no kind of internal 'feel'?

[sufi]

yes opposite almost like an eternal dyad - inside/out
sorry i know you do't even like herzog - this is an amazing scary film though

fritz perls said he could teach people like me to visualise and i beleive him.
i dont think it's impossible i think its been blocked off somehow

i said he could carry on making docos remember! just he has no imagination so should stay
away from films. grizzly man was hilarious. herzog is not a real human hes a self-conscious caricature, like
will self. hes great in that sense but it means he cant do art.

[sufi]

i guess if you're born deaf/blind that also makes creating internal images a bit of a challenge

[luka]

i reckon it could potentially have a knock on effect on all sorts of areas of your life. im just speculating though. more interested in myself really.
