Most people don't believe souls exist; that is partially the result of most people not being human and having souls. The soulless aren't simply NPC's; there are a great many high-functioning human synthetics sharing this existence with humans. Things like lacking the ability to visualize imagination, or having no imagination are tell-tale signs. Lacking an internal dialog is another sign.
The ability of my brain to visualize, especially with detailed dreams, is rather freaky. The shit it comes up with when I am ‘asleep’ amazes me. Things I’ve never thought of or seen, created with incredible detail, all while unconscious.
Same here. I can somewhat control like a computer overlay. See what things would look like if I changed their color or something. I've got whatever the opposite of aphantasia is. I used to sometimes "cheat" on tests by reading off the picture of the book I had captured in my mind lulz.
I've recently been thinking about making offensive artwork, intentionally apolitical but to provoke responses of offense or disgust in people who live deeply "sanitized" "lives" I'm not looking to make shock art or modern art, just to offend common sensibilities in obvious ways with a hint of subtlety.
The reason I bring this up is the vivid description of art I conceptualized today may be provocative enough to provoke in people who do have visual imagination a pupillary response as the concept should likely lead to an intrusive and disgusting mental image.
Scene: A bathroom with wood panel on the walls a low sink, a long gate toilet, and shag carpet on the floor. Our subject: A hairy overweight man in the middle of life sitting on the toilet with his pants down and a bag of popcorn in his left hand obscuring his genitals with his right hand in the bag. The roll of toilet paper is sat on the counter to his right.
