I heard that our minds work with images, not words.
But that can’t be true either.
Just now I went through a complex logical thought process to decide on an action with consideration of at least two possible outcomes, and I swear it took a fraction of a second, and involved neither words, nor images.
Somehow I was able to calculate two separate algorithms and make forecasts for two separate outcomes and make a choice with neither words nor pictures.
It was something else entirely.
A millisecond.
@Vonzales Interesting.
It happened so quickly you didn't have a long-enough time to recognize words or pictures?
Sounds as if you were 'in the moment.'
@GeorgeG
Yes, exactly, it was too quick for either pictures or words.
Like, in a flash I’d completed a thought experiment and I knew what to do.
Then I stopped and remembered about the minds working in pictures, and realised that it must be wrong.
