The Hatter

I know what's good for me

I know what's bad

I am drawn to those things

That make us all mad

I like a conundrum

If fearful when challenged

I trust fun, folly and chaos

The rest? Made invalid

I know what I want in life

I know what I don't

I know that in order to live

There has to be both

Trouble they call me

Should be my middle name

If you get to know me

Neither will be the same.

A Marriage of Science & Mysticism

Update Feb 2025: There is now a dedicated space for this type of discussion off of my poetry blog and over over at: mentalimageryresistance.co.uk Hopefully this clarified advocacy paper makes more sense to people than my ramblings here: Locating Unifying Language: Multiple Intelligences, Mental Sensory Perception, and Mental Imagery . For the Record: I am no authority on this matter. I am an independent researcher and advocate for more clarity in the language and definitions used in mental imagery research. Raising awareness of the need for more research into what those with multisensory aphantasia possess . Dysikonesia, Aphantasia and a Sophisma Uncovering a Key to the Minds Mental Mixing Deck It occurred to me one day, that taken for their literal meaning only, the psychic concepts of the Seven Clair's and the Daimon, provide handy language framework for all the main mental senses. Clairvoyance, literally means ' clear seeing ' or th...

Fifteen Types of Mental Imagery and Vividness Ranges

For the Record: I am no authority on this matter. I am an independent researcher and advocate for more clarity in the language and definitions used in mental imagery research. Raising awareness of the need for more research into what those with multisensory aphantasia possess . Introduction to the Proposed Framework The new framework that I have presented, designed to help with understanding mental imagery, now includes fifteen distinct modalities ( what I call 'yedas'—a long story short, my mind worked backwards from the need to find language for the imagery I do possess—despite having global aphantasia—to the ...

A Transgenic Note

Transgenic mutants are deliberately deformed, disabled and disordered for animal research purposes. We can create human-animal chimeras, put human DNA into every cell of a mouse, make cells glow green with jellyfish protein, just to be sure, but no amount of human DNA in a mouse will turn it into a human. No matter how much that mouse thinks it might be able to identify with minute aspects of being human, it cannot. It will always be a mutant of a mouse, exploited for biotech gain. Humanized mice do not get human rights. Law and language for transgenic animals and other such biotech mutants is important and nomenclature is complex . The breeding, movement and welfare of animals under such procedures must be monitored and regulated for the welfare and integrity of both wild and lab lines. Law and language applies differently to animals outside of laboratories, for good reason. Transgenic mutants are covered by the basic animal welfare laws, but they also have ASPA (1986), t...

Raising awareness of the need for more research into what those with multisensory aphantasia possess . Dr. Adam Zeman is a pioneering figure in the study of aphantasia, the inability to produce mental imagery. In a recent discussion with him, I explored the evolving understanding of this fascinating condition, its terminology, and the spectrum of experiences associated with it. Dr. Zeman defines aphantasia as the lack of mental imagery . Initial...
