On “Mind Is Blown”
But it's also a gift for those who otherwise might have PTSD. Pluses and minuses, always.
On “visual memory in aphantasics”
Yes! I've always accredited it to my ability to "let go of the past" (moral inference here), but I think you're right. I was getting to know a new friend and had said "Nothing bad has ever happened to me ". We were talking about trauma, and as I told her some about my life she said, "that sounds traumatic to me", but it never felt that way. Now I think it's about the lack of visual context with the memory. BTW, I just discovered all this a couple days ago, thanks to a comment on a podcast.
