    As a qualia, this is very hard to communicate. I wonder if there’s a genuine, measurable difference here, or if what I think of as ‘visualising’ is the same as them thinking of ideas and feelings. Nobody like, has a second vision they use, it’s just… remembering a sight as if you’re looking at it now.

      no, I can think of new things I haven’t seen before and visualize them as if I were looking at them. It doesn’t exist in my field of view, but I can clearly and strongly create a visual representation which does not reflect a witnessed reality.
