@alpha wait what?

Does this mean you speed read by default?

@alpha I had previously read the proportion of people without an inner monologue was much higher, like 30-40%. It’s a fascinating difference in any case.

Similarly, I wonder if having aphantasia makes memory tricks work less well for me.
