Do normal people really argue with themselves?

I have aphantasia, no visual mind images, and was thinking about the cartoon representation of the devil and angel battling on the character’s shoulders.

I learned counting sheep meant actually watching sheep in their mind. Could it be like that?

I’m debating if I have an interal monologe. I can “speak” words in my head.

But I wrote this comment without planning and just wrote it down as it came to me saying each word in my inner voice as I typed it.

Having 160k + Regular retirement > Regular retirement

160k extra. You have what you’re going to normally retire with plus this 160k.

“Allow her to retire comfortably” is what was stated above.

The debatable part is if they meant immediately retire. If she saves it for retirement then it is “retirement money”

But will it allow her to retire eventually comfortably?

10 year US bond is 4.2%

Let’s say she is 30.

Retirement age is 67. So 37 years until retirement.

6,000€ ×5 is ~$35,000

$35,000 at 4.2% interest for 37 years is $160,388.66 (This isn’t taking into consideration reinvesting the 4.2% interest after 10 years, but also ignoring things like taxes)

But getting $160k when you retire would allow a lot of people to retire comfortably.

They get turned into red light when going into pokeball. They get stored as red light. No need for tubes to store ball.

Since the masterball exists that must mean you keep the masterball on you always and just pull the pokemon out with any connected PC.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t fully understand hypnosis.

I don’t really dream that much. I normally fall asleep and then just wake up. I’ve had dreams before and I can’t say that I saw images or not. I want to say that I did see images because I would describe them as being very vivid and real like almost like I was experiencing it rather than just thinking. But when I wake up I cannot recall any of the images but know how the things in the dream looked and would recall them like I saw something in the real world.

But if my muscles are relaxed how is that supposed to put my brain in a relaxed state?

It means “no imagination”, but the truth is we’ve plenty of imagination, just not visually.

It’s not a coincidence that the word image is in the word imagination. Most people image to imagine.

We have learned you don’t need to image to imagine. If you would have asked me awhile ago if I saw images in my head I would have said yes because I can hold details of an image in my head and “see” it. It’s like I’m imagining an image to imagine.

Just like I can imagine what would happen if you placed a ball at the top of a hill and let go. I don’t need to see images or a video to “imagine” the ball is going to roll down the hill.

Phantasia is a word used by Aristotle to describe “mental images”. What is thought of as “imagining”. He described it as a mind’s eye.

Imagining is the term that is wrongly named. It could be used for only processing thinking with images but like you said you “imagine”. I have aphantasia and I’m just “thinking” about the ball and it rolling down the hill, not imaging it doing it in my head.
