I pictured a literal red giant in the vastness of space with a few orbiting planets. Am I a big brain genius now?

I've been mulling this over in my mind for a while. Problem is, I think I would have to basically cut the internet out of my life. It really hampers any meditation or mindfulness practices I have been attempting.

you dont need to meditate. just force yourself to visualize throughout your day. youll get nowhere at first but keep trying and youll develop it. i used to be in your shoes. now i can visualize anything with ease.

>aphantasia isnt real
it is real but I wouldn't say its permanent, for some it is a skill they need to learn where as others it is innate

You're just an NPC, OP. Don't take it too bad. You can work with numbers! You don't have to imagine anything complex! Just gotta remember the numbers! I mean, you probably won't be able to really conceptualize complex structures and networks, but at least you get to do the menial work for the true geniuses.

everytime i close my eyes I imagine my dream world, and my imagination is so powerful that it's like I'm actually there. Sometimes I lose track of days or even weeks suspended in my alternate universe, my every need tended by naked anime women. At times I forget which reality I'm in, which side is imagined and which isn't. Then I remember that it doesn't matter, I can just imagine time to go more slowly, and enjoy an eternity of time locked behind my eyelids.

It's probably this. When I started studying music I couldn't really audiate (the sonic equivalent of visualization) for shit compared to my peers. Took a good year to build the muscle where I wanted but I just had to keep working on it.

So I can get a completely red star like 6 when I really strain it, but I more naturally imagine a pinkish star like 5. What's going on here? Why is that easier?
