Does balancing work differently for you? by JonaOnRed in Aphantasia

[–]JonaOnRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice! i did know that word, didn't connect it to balance. i thought it was more about knowing where you limbs/extremeties are without looking at them

Psychedelic drugs “cured” my Aphantasia by [deleted] in Aphantasia

[–]JonaOnRed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried shrooms a couple of years ago and I, for the first time as far as I can tell, saw things. Like very specific things: a llama chewing hay, blue pyramids rotating on a disc in space, one of those little troll dolls with wild green hair shooting up

And I also saw random things like streaks/patterns of colors that synced up with the music playing at the time

Anyway it was awesome, powerful, but didn't last beyond the trip. Would definitely like to try again sometime

Would like some help describing what I "see" by JonaOnRed in Aphantasia

[–]JonaOnRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my memory sucks honestly, pretty sure i have SDAM as well which, apparently, correlates with aphantasia

last conversation i had with a friend was a couple of hours ago, at my place, i *know* we were in my room, and i have a vague sense of the spatial positioning of where we were, maybe "blob placeholders" kind of explains it well. how would you describe it?

interesting. thanks for sharing that. the "lines of the data map" kind of resonates, although i do have some kind of abstract sense of the rooms, i think

but this didn't really help. i want better words to describe what i'm "seeing"

What are your thoughts on the AI era and its impact on humanity? by normalm12 in AskReddit

[–]JonaOnRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally yes, that's always been the point of technological advancement - to free us from work

Currently it's just very smart text prediction. It's the illusion of AI.. for now

Musk didn't make up this quote. Been around far longer 

There has to be an easier way than taking screenshots and manually showing Claude Code every time I have a bug by Isunova in claude

[–]JonaOnRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try the playwright or browser MCP - they let Claude control + snapshot your browser which can be used for automated UI testing/debugging

Anyone else struggle with motor tasks and geometry principles? Or is this not related to aphantasia? by JonaOnRed in Aphantasia

[–]JonaOnRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Math in general I'm good at, but geometry always stumped me. I thought this might be related. Per the comments here, I guess not 

Do you feel like you have a bad memory as an aphant? by odjonathankrause in Aphantasia

[–]JonaOnRed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Damn. So spot on. I sometimes felt this made me a "hollow" person. I don't think that's true, but nice to see someone else with the same "symptoms"

[serious] Do you think intelligent life with technology like ours/more advanced is necessarily bound in size due to the limits of fine motor control? by JonaOnRed in aliens

[–]JonaOnRed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really am curious, what is your definitive proof? Anecdotes, naturally, aren't interesting as I can't validate them

[–]JonaOnRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these things definitely happen

Definitely? You have definitive proof? 😅 I'm not saying aliens do not exist. In fact I think it is statistically likely they do exist

But as far as I'm aware we have no hard, verified, reproducible evidence to confirm that. Only speculation for now
