'“run a mental simulation and anticipate second order effects” are uncommon skill.' There are literally people who are innately unable to do this (run mental simulations). I wonder what the percentage is though.

  You don't have to possess it as an infant for it to be innate. You don't have color vision when hour born either.

      I was referring to mental imagery. Please see Aphantasia.

        Aphantasia is different than mental simulation. It's specifically to do with visualisation and doesn't seem to affect things like reasoning/planning.
