Interesting, though no, I have no trouble with mental imagery.

I have bipolar and it feels like my brain just tosses things at me. I get some really good ideas and I am quick with jokes because i don't even think, my brain is an absurdity machine.

I had a cocker spaniel that went blind from glaucoma, and he got around much better than you would expect. I guess dog hearing is probably pretty good for that

Hehe and somehow you are the only person to let me know. Maybe everyone else missed it too. Thanks

Schizophrenia produces many symptoms other than hallucinations and causes profound cognitive and social dysfunction. Poverty of thought, delusions, and disordered thinking and speech among others. There would be signs others could see.

If this were really true, there would be no crime right now. Nancy Guthrie has been missing for months now despite the perpetrator being caught on camera in an affluent neighborhood where there would be many Ring, Flock etc. cameras. These companies overpromise and underdeliver as they all do. Their main purpose is get people to pay them. They are much less competent than they claim to be.

You're absolutely right about that

I liked it and I'm not really into sci-fi because I need good prose to read more than the content.

Read this article today and was amazed. A former fencing champion named Rodney Wilkinson joined up with the ANC. Rodney had been working at the plant which was under construction. A black draftsman he worked with looked the other way when he took the plans for the plant to copy. He was trained by the ANC in espionage tradecraft, and was given 4 limpet mines to place around the reactors. Since the plant was under construction, there was no nuclear material on site. To minimize the risk of casualties, the operation would occur on the weekend. Rodney was successful and escaped and was able to return to South Africa after the fall of Apartheid.

Really incredible story!

Imagine a 5000 person aircraft carrier crew fighting the flu while trying to work.
