  We’ve outsourced everything else.

  I just finished the 2nd book of the Stormlight Chronicles by Brandon Sanderson. Sadly I have had aphantasia all my life and therefore I can not visually imagine things - I do have a very loud inner monologue though and can imagine the voices of the characters. I just tried out the new version of ChatGPT to generate images for the main characters in a concept art style and for me it makes the story come to life a bit more. I also run a Pathfinder Campaign every other week and have found great pleasure visualizing scenes in this way for myself. Sometimes I share them with the players and so far the feedback on that has been very positive. I wish I could picture things in my mind but at least now I have something that can help me with my handicap!

  Outsourcing re-imagination.

  About 300 million people literally can't imagine.

  Why is that such a bad thing? Imagination is not truly useful for anything without skills to complement it, at least not in my experience.

    If it’s a good film then those are works of art and interpretation in themselves, but I suspect you have something which is more the product of a mechanical bureaucracy in mind than works of art: maybe like a production of Harry Potter or The Hunger Games. If those are the kinds of books you have in mind I can see why you get confused/frustrated by how others feel about slop, since you’ve been shoulder deep in it for your whole life!

  Then reading a book is outsourcing imagination or enjoying it's illustrations by someone else, as you rely on the others for imagining stories
