Claiming otherwise isn’t just ignoring the evidence, but - and that’s much worse - it is dismissing and invalidating the suffering and challenges of those who have it, because this has a very real impact on people’s lives. Excellent, clear examples of excellent clear statements. Thank you. +1 52 minutes ago, ArtsyGirl said: It occurs very much in the stone age, that 100% of cave people didn't form mental images or formed invisible mental images or imagine without visualizing. Still making unsupportable claims and statements that you (or any other person) cannot possibly know. Seriously I recommend you study Markus' style very carefully.

It's not a claim, 100% of Cavemen not forming mental images is possible and it's real, you know. And they do form invisible mental images. Edited January 9, 2023 by ArtsyGirl

I am reporting this for repetition of unsubstantiated claims.

Again, It's not a claim, 100% of cave people really did not form mental images back then, they've only formed invisible mental images/imagine without visualizing, and cavemen do think.

What the heck is an "invisible mental image" ? Images, however they are presented in the mind's eye, are in some sense visible to the person experiencing them. If someone says elephant, I see an image of an elephant in my mind.

Are you confusing the smaller parietal lobes and cerebella of Homo Neanderthalis with an inability in Homo Sapiens Sapiens to picture something in their minds? 5 hours ago, ArtsyGirl said: I'm sorry if I said to you guys that the phenomenon isn't real, but it's very unexplained like Bigfoot that the phenomenon doesn't exist but not forming mental images isn't possible. but people who don't form mental images or forming invisible mental images still have imagination because most things in imagination are merely invisible like a imaginary friend. This was throwing everybody off, because even if it's unexplained that doesn't mean it isn't real, just unexplained, like a UFO is real but unidentified. It's also a bit disconcerting when you start claiming you know things about "100% of cave people". There ARE some things you can generalize about all the members of a select group, but not things like how they thought or the way they experienced their environments. That's all very subjective.

I'm confusing any brain parts of Homo Neanderthalis. All Homo Sapiens think, but all of them don't picture things, that's why 100% of cave people didn't form mental images back then, They imagine without visualizing. 1 hour ago, Peterkin said: One has to wonder how they got the hump-backed bulls, mammoths and wild horses into the cave to pose for them?

Moderator Note Assuming that you do not have some ability examine H. sapiens neanderthalensis individuals, you are presenting your own assertions as facts, which we discourage. What you need is to provide some data (typically scientific papers, or at least reports based on those) as evidence. As it does not appear that any evidence is likely to be forthcoming (at least in part because it is impossible to validate such claims) the thread is locked for now.
