it's fine for the data to be dogshit and ethereal because the science is new

wow just like string theory. the enshittification of science has been going on since the 90s man

prove aphantasia doesn't exist

Prove god doesn't exist you little weasel

Lol you clearly don't understand what I'm saying. Yes, and there are other meta-analyses of aphantasia studies which explore how bad the data is. You can also have a meta-analysis that says "wow, look at all of this data, isn't it amazing?" you only want to do B. Our whole definition of a healthy individual is flawed. When testosterone levels drop nationwide, that becomes the new normal threshold for people administering testosterone therapy, for instance. Everyone has sleep problems from a sedentary lifestyle nowadays, starting in school, and that's when they get diagnosed with ADHD.

You're grandstanding, but I'm just trying to get through what I mean to you. There's no point in deliberately misinterpreting it lol.

An ocean of "credible researchers" gave us "adhd" a disorder where kids who don't sleep enough get treated with amphetamines, yes. It's not a tangent, it's a direct comparison to a huge scandal taking place in psychology psychiatry and neuroscience. They have no responsibility to isolate whatever they study from environmental causes. So they just end up looking for genetic associations where there are none. Don't sleep enough, it gets harder to FOCUS, not only on schoolwork, but your imagination itself. Are you starting to "get the picture"? 😁

You're a fucking moron, you know what you just did, you went and googled "aphantasia" and posted everything that came up because I made you mad by telling you to live more healthily and look at plants and sleep better and see if you magically get the ability to imagine an apple back.

Studies get meta-analysis on them all the time and get questioned en masse, that's how science works. Is every scientist who does meta analysis on studies now a conspiracy theorist? 🤣😂

These sources are evidence of how nonsensical the studies on "aphantasia" are. Bunch of self-reporting nonsense. It's like how they just gave up on autism and let anyone claim they have it for studies. You're useless, you're just making the science worse with your desire to take online personality tests.

Many people are diagnosed with "ADHD" too idiot, it's just a sleep disruption disorder. I'm talking about meta analysis of studies on people with aphantasia, because studies are all like the crap you just posted. People don't just slurp up every study they can find on Google you fucking idiot.. Did you think I meant "Mythbusters" style takedown? I bet you want a youtube video. You could cure your "aphantasia" by reading books before bed instead of using the computer, but you won't. That's what I mean psychology is such a clown shoes "science". You'd rather stay up late reading this shit than actually try to improve your health. It's a disease a lot like ADHD.

If there is anything keeping people from having solid visualizations throughout the day, it's not sleeping enough. It's a night-and day difference in mental imagery. None of these studies control for anything like that or sleep, which really just shows you how hard they are fishing for something which isn't there. A lot of sleep issues are totally incurable without switching to back sleeping, getting rid of lint (people refuse to do this), and eliminating a sedentary lifestyle. Now if you tried to do studies on people like that you wouldn't be able to find any. But I can tell you I've experienced "aphantasia" and it's cured by getting a good night's sleep. A lot of people never get a good night's sleep ever.

This is the problem with the I Fucking Love Science crowd, your fun facts quickly turn into barrages of narcissistic gibberish whenever someone doesn't give you validation. There's no rigor, there's no questioning, there's no meta-analysis.

Just TRUST THE SCIENTISTS, LOOK AT THE STUDIESESS nevermind whether they're any good. Go post about the Stanford Prison Experiment or something you irritating pseud.

Psychology Today has done a number on you, what a frantically googling moron, the first study has N=15, it's entirely based on self-diagnosis and surveys. They want to come up with a neurological basis for it based off fifteen people self-reporting fuck off lmfao.

Oh wow she has a PHD??? We have to listen to her obviously. I hate pseuds and their credentialism hahahaha you're full of it

Can't wait to see the second one.

This is like when my sister decided she was a super taster and that cilantro tastes like soap.

I never said I was particularly impressed with the rigor of ALL NEUROSCIENTISTS, they are as bad as physicists involved with string theory. Unfalsifiable nonsense. This is the kind of shit I'm talking about when I trash the entire field of "smart science" that's been picked up by TPOT and Lesswrong and other pseuds.

saw it debunked

Oh you want me to prove aphantasia isn't real lol, no wonder you have trouble with things like this where people play word games, you're completely devoid of logic. The onus is on you, and neuroscientists, to prove it exists.

What you did is go pull every paper you could possibly find which reinforces your identity.
