I have a lot of inner monologue, I exist mostly in my head. And I know anons say this is evidence for a soul.
Then why is it that I have aphantasia? I can imagine things yea, but I have never been able to use my mind's eye to create art or any kind of work. I am not musically inclined. I am not creative.
So am I still classified as an NPC? or what nuance is this?

You need to practice and allow your brain to adapt. I ahd the same thing and the truth is you have to teach and show your brain how to imagine things. Starting with elementary shapes and then just imagining whole scenes. I started out with a blank mind and just geometric primitives. If I know focus and imagine a process I can come up with an arbitrary image which I can also break down into bits of work.

Your mind has too many open ended questions which you must make simpler. If I dont have to think too much about every step in the process then I free up cognitive space. The same for music. Or math.

I can't imagine shit either, but I am creative as hell.
Creativity is an attribute you only get when you have a soul.
Aphantasia is something you get from watching too much TV.
