I can turn a “voice in the head” on and think in that instead, but it’s invariably more inefficient and lower bandwidth than thinking in “pure forms”. Verbal vs abstract thought possibly a spectrum.https://twitter.com/RespectElves/status/1223910708879872001 …
What I find interesting here is that most people have no idea this kind of “cognitive diversity” even exists, and the first impulse is to consider people with different ones monsters.
