I was reading Moby Dick, chapter 7 describes the Whaleman’s Chapel, and the pulpit for the pastor. It felt pretty important for me to understand what exactly the chapel looked like, so I gave it a shot, but I couldn’t marry all the details together.
I actually gave up and asked ChatGPT to draw me a picture of the pulpit, ahaha. And I think it turned out pretty accurately. But it did make me wonder what other people’s experiences are with this.
Are you generally unable to visualise certain stuff or was it just all the details of this specific description? If it is the former you might have a form aphantasia.
