This is an article on aphantasia, written by a guy with it, who (informally) investigated about 70 of his friends to see how their thought/mental pictures etc differed from his. I found it entertaining and really fascinating. It cleared up for me whether I have it or not - a previous HN discussion had left me thinking I probably did; but reading this, obviously not, like the vast majority of the guy's friends. Highly recommended, it's by far the clearest explanation of the subject I've seen.
