how is this a new observation in any way?

interesting hypothesis. i have been on keto for quite some time a year ago until i decided that it's not for me as it makes me totally numb and uncreative. and i have complete aphantasia, i don't see anything in my mind at all. but that has always been the case. maybe there is a correlation between the need for carbs and aphantasia? soo, that is very anecdotal - does anybody else share this kind of symptoms when on carb restriction?

i am a mathematician and i have aphantasia. i am pretty certain that not having to train not to rely on visual intuition was very helpful for getting into the kind of mathematics i do (set theory and very transfinite topology). on the other hand i am always completely amazed by what some people can "see" and feel in 3 or 4 dimensions. i have absolutely no access to this kind of spatial reasoning.
