What about people who think verbally and don't have a "mind's eye"? In that case, thoughts and their encoding might be closer to 1:1.
- namaria 3y agoAre images and words the only way to think? Are these boundaries even fundamental or are they arbitrary? How does a blind deaf person think?

I find hard to conceive of people who can think only in terms of language.
