People are not all one? Do yo really imagine grey potatoes when someone says apple.

I'm still coming to terms of people who don't think visually, there are people who think in grayscale??

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

I guess I do?

Visualizing stuff isn't quite the outline one, there's more detail. But thinking of some paintings, I can't quite recall the colors.

I have been diagnosed with aphantasia, so I'm a 5. I have no ability to visualise anything in my head, I was in my 40s before I realised that "minds eye" is not a metaphor for most people.

So, I worked in a job shop, I would draw things up in CAD and leave everything the default grey texture. then the customer would say "I don't want it to be grey. I want it [wood, gold, magenta plaid, whatever]" and I would say "Yeah I'm going to make it out of [whatever], I'm just confirming the physical design." and they would reply "I can't see it."

Is that you?

It's a new fad ailment like the magically disappearing "gluten intolerance" epidemic. People with no personalities substitute these things instead. See also "neurodivergence" etc.

Neurodivergent is a huge spectrum we're still figuring out. But what do you mean by fad ailment.

Genuinely curious about this scale, I'm sure there would be 4s and 5s but expect majority to be 1 or 4 depending on their context when they hear 'Apple'

Thank you. That other guy's take is very destructive

Maybe start using a word when it has some meaning then.

But what do you mean by fad ailment.

"...like the magically disappearing “gluten intolerance” epidemic. People with no personalities substitute these things instead.". It's the height of fashion to have a minor ailment these days. Particularly if it's an unprovable one like this absurd nonsense.
