I really loved this essay on aphantasia from @metteleonard. It's the closest I've read to what the experience is like for me, and how having no mind's eye impacts your sense of self and memory
New York in the summer is a FULL sensory experience; really loved this piece on sensory urbanism and how how "nonvisual information defines the character of a city."
this prompted me to re-read this classic piece, about the man who... let's say "acquired" Einstein's brain after he died
This is a great listen on how early scientists grappled with “wonders.”
This whole paper is well worth reading. I think there’s valuable lessons from this history of focusing only people whose reaction are what you want/expect, and not studying or paying attention to the wide variety of experiences. 9/9
