gollark: Great!
gollark: Well, I don't *normally* have the ability to memorise sheets of paper visually and I haven't found a way to do so.
gollark: Evolution tends to be quite thrifty. Why would I have significant general purpose cognitive resources only accessible in weird indirected ways?
gollark: Random online tests involving remembering sequences of shapes and stuff. Also the fact that I don't experience memories visually whatsoever.
gollark: So I could think abstractly about any problems I encounter, but that isn't much use.
