On that note! I am an intensely verbal person, with words and narrative as my primary mode of thought. This essay and discussion reminds me of a desire I've felt before to develop the muscles, so to speak, of thinking without words.
Does anyone have any advice or techniques to that end?
- pramodbiligiri 1y agoPerhaps do activities like manipulating physical objects (carpentry?, Lego, Rubiks cube), games like Tetris, or complex body movements where verbalization won't be of much use. Or standard Quantitative Reasoning problems from entrance exams. A few years back, the wordcel vs shape rotator debate/binary was being discussed online: https://roonscape.ai/p/a-song-of-shapes-and-words?r=53sw https://roonscape.ai/p/a-song-of-shapes-and-words?r=53sw I'd come across this book "Visual Thinking in Mathematics" (https://www.amazon.in/Visual-Thinking-Mathematics-Marcus-Giaquinto/dp/0199285942 https://www.amazon.in/Visual-Thinking-Mathematics-Marcus-Gia...) which goes into some of this.
