How I See Numbers

I find this kind of stuff, including the authors article, weirdly fascinating. I try to do what other people describe, such as yourself, and it really is impossible. It just makes no sense to me. I'm sure I have ways of thinking as well that probably baffle other people. It's all very strange.

With that being said I wish my mind was blank sometimes, I wish my inner monologue would shut up every now and then. :)

I was surprised when I learned that everybody doesn’t have a spatial calendar. Mine is a rectangle with the first six months on top and the last six months returning in the opposite direction on the bottom, forming a cycle. (I also “feel” mathematics and code spatially.)

I’m curious why these differences happen and to what degree it’s difference in thought versus difference in conscious perception of thought.
