People tend to incorrectly believe the world is just and therefore if you're not good at socializing then you'll be brilliant at computer programming, or if you're not athletic then you'll be an outstanding musician, etc.
In reality if you're very good at one thing you're more likely to be good at other things, not less likely. The world isn't fair and people who are rich tend to be good looking, healthy, and intelligent too while people who are living in abject poverty tend to be ugly, sick, and stupid. Good things in life build on each other and keep you launching upward while bad things in life compound and weigh you down to your inevitably fucked up death buried in debt with painful chronic diseases and no one to help you.

>I always thought the minds eye was an absolute necessity as it allows us to visualize different options and predict outcomes.
Definitely not. I can do some low grade visualizing now in my 30s long after having experimented with the proper psychedelics. Back in my younger years though all the way up into my early 20s my conscious thinking was entirely just verbal. And it works fine with the one exception of geographic directions.
I never had any idea how to explain what little in directions I knew to anyone else because it was all just running on muscle memory. And often enough I wouldn't even know directions that much and would simply be completely unable to figure out which way to go at any given intersection (both on foot and in a car).
And as it turns out if you were alive in the past few decades at least and living in a developed nation then knowing how to find your way around buildings or neighborhoods is not at all necessary to get through school, obtain a bachelor's degree, land a home, earn money through a regular full time salaried profession, have a romantic relationship, etc. Might have been a bigger deal if you were spatially oblivious and living thousands of years ago.
