Some people can't see mental images

Some people have more vivid imaginations than others and a vivid imagination entails more than just noodling and doodling well. Evidently.

People vary in their capacity to reason with things. People who “see” things with their eyes closed probably don’t believe that they are physically seeing them (i.e., with their actual eyeballs). People who can’t...probably can; they just expect to actually see what it is that they're thinking about.

This is a sensitive subject. At its core it beckons forth for questions of spiritual import.

Is society fit to address something as abstract as this problem in an age where “Chatbot psychosis” is becoming a thing?

I'm a bit tired of people trying to explain it away.

I'm affected by it, and I know it isn't like you describe because I have experienced and sometimes still experience seeing actual images with my eyes closed but most of the time it is absolutely impossible.

There's also IIRC the fact that the reason someone started researching this topic was because a person who had very clear visual imagery with closed eyes lost it after surgery and his description got this thing started.
