I have them all the time, just wondering if there’s any sane people out there that have relatively normal thoughts on a day to day basis.

    The words have no sound. No volume, no pitch. They’re word ideas not words. I don’t hear anything, I just understand the words.

      And what happens when you read a description of something? Do you just have an idea of what it is, because if so, it seems to me that some of the value of literature will be lost. Do you actually feel anything when you read a description of something beautiful, for instance?

        No, I don’t get a sense of awe or beauty from reading things. I can appreciate when the folks I’m reading about experience those emotions, but I don’t feel them, because there is nothing to inspire them in me.

        Which is why I tend to prefer books that go in to more depth about what people are thinking and feeling than books that go in to lots of visual detail
