As a kid, I had vivid mental images. That completely changed after a head injury in my early twenties. Now I can’t picture anything in my mind.

I believe the same injury also left me with anendophasia, meaning I don’t have an inner monologue.

Neither has negatively affected my work or daily life. I’ve just become what I’d call a 'generative thinker': I figure things out by doing. Ideas take shape as I speak, write, build, or work through them. Over time I've gotten increasingly better/faster at this. In some instances I believe it even makes me more productive..I don't overthink.

Here’s a helpful overview of anendophasia:

And a few active communities for anyone interested:

Aphantasia: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aphantasia/

Anendophasia: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anendophasia/ https://www.reddit.com/r/silentminds/

I’ve lived with and without both mental imagery and an inner monologue, so for me, there’s no question that these differences are real.


Anybody else using Superset as your multiplexer rn? I'm finding it quite useful but wondering if there are other existing products that I should consider -- Mac Silicon: https://superset.sh/ Curious to see what Superlogical cooks up.


I've never heard of that Superset. I've used the Apache business analytics one though: https://github.com/apache/superset. Unfortunate name collision...
