Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this.
Winged_Hussar@lemmy.world 1 week agoQuestion for you - when you say it’s work is it more like:
It’s a challenge to summon any imagery in your mind’s eye
Or
You can picture a vague hazy apple, but it morphs / distorts into other things?

Definitely that for me. I can force my brain to remember that the apple in question is red, but then my brain will question WHAT EXACTLY IS RED? AND IF RED WHICH RED??? AND SHOULDN’T THERE BE SOME GREEN IN THERE TOO? HOW MUCH? OH WAIT NOW YOUR APPLE IS GREEN. NO, THAT’S NOT WHAT YOU WANTED. APPLES HATE US! and now all of a sudden I’m focusing on a rotten apple core and my ADHD is working out what it would take to turn that apple core into a sapling and how long will it take to make a fruiting apple tree from those seeds? And now my boss is asking me what tf have I accomplished since 8am this morning
…and I can tell you the one thing I DIDN’T do this morning was draw an apple because how do you get 10,000 shades of color from red and black pencils?
