"when you read words on a screen, do you hear the words in your mind, or do you have some other experience of reading?"
what an excellent question. i hear an inaudible voice with no sound that reads the words to me as i look at them.
i hear the sound of myself without a voice, iow. i know, makes no sense, but honest phenomenology permits us no other way to describe it. the experience produces a very peculiar kind of qualia it's difficult to talk about clearly. Ergo, the nonsensical way I described it.
I can relate to that. I'm not sure how explicit or clear my head voice is.
The reason I ask is because it's possible that Age doesn't read with that verbal-mental side. I know speed readers don't.
As I have clearly expressed previously, I am VERY SLOW, and would say I am the SLOWEST reader in this forum, and probably one of the SLOWEST readers in the whole community. So, I very much read with that 'verbal-mental side', if that refers to "hearing" a voice within.
But I also know some who can read that fast that there would be no way to "hear" many if any of the words, within, let all of them.
See, one of the issues with 'thoughts', which are, lterally, the 'thing' that has control over human mis/behavior, is that 'thoughts' are so quick that they can be very hard to recognize and keep a track of, let alone be able to stop them and/or question them.
If ANY one is Truly interested in SEEING how True this REALLY IS, then just try and write EACH and EVERY thought that arises within those heads.
Oh, and by the way, what I find Truly 'annoying' with those so-called "speed readers" is some can read, and understand MORE and much better than me, even when they have read the WHOLE book in the exact same time I am still have not finished the FIRST pasge yet.

So for me, and I think most other people, when you see a word in all caps, that voice in my head is reading it to me slightly louder and much slower. To emphasize it, right?
To 'emphasize' was 'the intention'. To 'hinder' in ANY way was NOT 'the intention'.
See, what I think will be found is on first reading, a lot of what I write can APPEAR as farcical and/or pure nonsense. But WHEN I finally get around to expressing how to LOOK AT And SEE 'things' from, and in, a Truly IRREFUTABLE WAY, THEN, what I have written here is REREAD, then WHY I ACTUALLY capitalized THOSE words, for emphasize, will become MUCH CLEARER.
Also, I will make it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR HERE-NOW, that WHEN a word is 'read' and/or 'heard' 'slightly louder', then this, in absolutely NO WAY is 'aggression' NOR 'yelling'. It is just a SIGN that 'that word' I would like to have MORE NOTICE taken of.

And doing that every now and then, maybe one word per paragraph, that's totally cool. Some words are worth emphasizing, no problem with that at all.
Maybe the reason WHY it takes me SO LONG to 'read', and 'understand' them FULLY, is because I am NOT 'hearing' the written words as well as you can obviously do it.
See, when I 'read' I do NOT 'hear', NOR 'notice' the 'subtleties' of 'slowing down' NOR being 'louder'. I just LOOK AT EACH and EVERY word more so from the actual meaning that 'it' has, than from HOW 'it' is being PRESENTED.
Exactly like with 'typoglycemia'. I just LOOK AT the words, and it does NOT matter how they are PRESENTED, and just read them while adding the definitions/meanings of the word, along with the word. Which, now explains more so WHY I am SO VERY SLOW at 'reading' and 'understanding'.

But when you're doing it EVERY FIVE FUCKING WORDS, it starts to feel like... well, like exactly what it would feel like if someone were speaking loudly and slowly to you in real life. You're being spoken down to, treated like a naughty child, at best.
I am just trying to get 'my' actual intended message across, and NOT the one that "others" ARE ASSUMING, or are being ASSUMED.
Now, how one, EXACTLY 'feels like', when one is being spoken to in a 'loud' and 'slow' voice, will always be depended upon that one's past experiences.
And, if one 'feels like' that are being spoken 'down to', or 'treated like a naughty child', then what that one has previously experienced, in their life, can be CLEARLY SEEN, and KNOWN.

When you SLAM the DOOR it DISTURBS everyone else in the HOUSE.
But these are just words, on a screen. There is NO actual noise involved, and the ONLY one they affect are the one's reading them.

If yes, then does writing this was make you 'feel like' some 'thing'?
WHY when some wrods are written in capital letters, this, supposedly, has some unintended affect on you, but when the letters are just about all the same, this does not affect you the same way?
Does the 'reading voice'
change from say, 'one of yours', to say 'another's', like a parent or guardian?

If Age doesn't have that auditory experience as he's reading, maybe he just literally can't relate.
I can certainly 'understand', especially now 'this' is
being discussed here, and I do 'relate' to the 'hearing of words', I, however, just do
not 'relate' in the exact same way, as I just do not read the exact same way you do. That is; I am so slow that if I went any slower with a word I would be near stopped. And, the capitalized words do not sound louder neither. So, although I can not 'relate' in the truest sense, I certainly do fully understand, 'now' that this is being brought up, talked about and discussed.
Flannel Jesus wrote: ↑Sat Jul 23, 2022 7:34 pm
There was a point where I thought it was because Age didn't understand that, but there's some evidence that he understands but just doesn't care.
Was that 'evidence' where I wrote, 'I do not care'?
See, capitalized words had never been talked about nor discussed before, and so how, exactly, it has been affecting 'you', readers and posters, here, had never been fully expressed. All I have seen, and heard, is; "it is annoying".
Which would be like me telling one of you; 'The way you write is annoying', and then expecting you to just
change the way you write.
Until I am
absolutely clear, then why would you want to
just change,, especially when you have had a very good reason for writing the way you did.
I have had a very specific reason for writing that way I did, so I was
not going to
just change 'it' for 'some annoyance' that I really could
not 'see', nor even 'relate to'.

There's an off chance that reading some of this might bring him a new layer of understanding here, maybe he would care if he really understood, I'm not sure.
I have found that it takes three 'things' before one will be more inclined to
change their ways, or behaviors'. They are;
Being informed of
how the "other" 'feels'.
Being informed of
what 'it' is, exactly, why they feel that way. And,
Being informed of why
they feel that way.
I have been continually informed of
how people 'feel', and about
what I do that makes them 'feel' that way', " The way you write is annoying' ", I have seen and heard enough times. Which has given me
no real reason to
change. But, now that you have explained
why you 'feel' the way you do, when I write the way I do, this gives me a far more substantial reason to
want to
change, the way I write.
I wonder now if "others"
noticed that I somewhat explained previously that I also 'feel' annoyed, when to
emphasize words I
have to now highlight them, and then click the underline button, and that just how slow and tedious this is?
Also, and by the way,
why do quite a few of you talk
with each other,
about me, as though I am
not even here?
Is it because you think or know that I am "autistic"? Or,
Because you think or believe that I am just "stupid"? Or,
Because you think or believe that I could
not understand? Or,
For some other reason?
Reading this did bring me a new layer of
understanding. This is because when 'you', people, just have peaceful discussions about the way 'you' each look at, see, experience, and 'feel' about 'things', then new ways of 'looking', 'oneself' can be obtained, and thus new or more 'things' can then be 'seen'.
Which is a very different way of 'discussion', which can and does take place within 'philosophy forums' where people just 'try to' argue or fight for the position, which they hold to be true.
