No. I’m conscious in a super duper way that ya’ll just can’t match.
It’s not even the same day to day for me.
I’m about to go down some rabbit hole about this aren’t I? I had no idea some people don’t have these abilities.
Is Everyone Conscious in the Same Way?
Nope. I am conscious on different days in different ways.
20 seconds in and I already can’t relate, can’t see things when I close my eyes.
A few seconds later, he discusses an interesting situation where a scientist in the 1800’s sent out a questionnaire to some fellow scientists about picturing things in their mind. one of the responding scientists was wildly confused why he was discussing picturing things in the mind’s eye as if people could actually visually see something, and how he could be unaware that it was just a simple turn of phrase, prompting the discovery of Aphantasia! :D
Yeah! Very cool that he got there, my attention was just interrupted by not really connecting with what he was saying, but I’m glad I continued watching. I’m very much locked, relating to his discussion of no inner monologue.
Aww, ye! Glad you’re enjoying it ^^
So if said, say, think of a giant tortoise with Pegasus wings; what would happen in your mind?
can’t see things when I close my eyes
I see funny patterns. But definitely no real-life objects. Kinda like on Acid. I guess that my brain naturally produces some hallucinogenous substances.
Nope, just relatively. Though how do you want to define consciousness could change my nope to a yes. It’s all about the definition.

All I can see when I read this comment is a plaque to blind confidence. Don’t take it the wrong way, I don’t mean it as a wholly a bad thing… maybe 90% bad, 10% admiration. Confidence is powerful, but it works best when paired with other traits.
…but back to the thread, unless you’re involved in this topic at an academic level, can you explain the reasoning behind the confidence you appear to have in your perspective?
