Beware those that tell you the way the world is.

@AlonHafri @talboger It would be interesting to see how such state-change estimations differed in those with altered visualization capacity such as aphantasics. The sample size was large enough to possibly encompass high/low or non visualizers at least as outliers.

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@duckprintspress I can't imagine any of those either but it wouldn't prevent me from writing about them. Be mindful of the visualizers as the bulk of the audience as well, just don't let it dominate. Sensory explanation can be useful even for an aphantasic as well.

@Spicy_Ibis @xychelsea I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard "I thought it was just a metaphor!"

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@1967ers @brainyfox_noob @NeuroscienceNew @ProfJoelPearson I think even visualizers benefit from that as well.

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@ProfJoelPearson @LoevenbruckLN @NeuroscienceNew From what I heard on a recent podcast at Vox some researchers didn't even want to call it a condition. I can see why, the regular joe communities have individuals routinely trying to turn it into a mental illness.

@ned_christie @ProfJoelPearson @_aphantasia This test could be implemented on many cell phones with eye/iris tracking couldn't it?

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@ProfJoelPearson @_aphantasia I'll sometimes re-prime myself, I'll just feel the 'knowing' of what I'm looking for drift out of my awareness, basically just defocus from the scene and think about the target again. Something like that at least.

@MichaelARanger1 @NASAWebb This has been a pretty common critique of NASA for years. Not enough cameras! :) Yes, I know there are engineering concerns with them, but there is certainly some low hanging fruit here just from an added utility perspective they're valuable sensors.

@evandawson I don't even know what it takes to turn voters off from that kind of ideaolgy anymore. They'll put up with anything and cheer them on.

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

You never know, that's one of the hard parts that makes this complicated, but something better had to be done we can certainly all agree on that.

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@evandawson @josephenderson @PatBlanchfield Is it even possible to figuratively read? Makes literally a bit superfluous :)

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@tawrbo Makes me wonder what I'm going to do about my surface pro. It's not exactly disassembly friendly.

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@ezraklein Do you make no distinction between governments that condone this vs those where it's occurrence is an effect of the unfortunate natural proclivities of those that hide it? This feels like a false equivocation to me.

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@Doug_Zbi @DandC @BundabergDrinks There's no beer be in this crap WTF! Someone get me Cohen!

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@evandawson I haven't seen it. No interest though, looks fun from a cultural anthropologist perspective though. My wife is watching Sat Night live episodes from the late 70s and 80s it's a different just that length of time.

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@mmackmedia Like what kind of conversations?

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@AcademiaObscura @aSciEnthusiast I've always preferred this graph.

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@TiannaManon Far more to blame is the medical profesionals that wrote all the prescriptions. Not a one of them thinks they've violated the hipcratic oath

[Jake Heuft @jwheuft]

@SamHarrisOrg @WiredUK exponential growth in technology that is. What we're experiencing (or will experience) has no historically comparison
