@kalidewriter @nomatterwhathappensimstilllost For me it's about feelings and impressions. If I think of a sports car I get impressions of speed, smooth/sleek-ness; If I think of a person I get my feelings of them, safety, friendship, reliability or whatever.
I don't know how to explain it. If I really try I can capture glimpses. Part of someone's face, the table in the living room but not the whole room. I tend to think in concepts. What do the feet of the table actually look like? I don't know. But I know it has feet.
I do have a hypothesis that those that do and those that don’t tend to gravitate towards each other’s in-groups and thus probably don’t collide in society as often as you’d think.

how can you imagine without images in your head though? How does it work?

Must be nice. I would be glad if it were only one voice.

I dream of the day the Greek chorus in my head takes a fiver.

A striking number don’t have an inner monologue

I've never met someone who doesn't. Though some might be lying to avoid questioning...
