Who’s a visual thinker?

Nader K. Rad, 2020-08-25

I just saw a piece of software claiming to be "a file manager for visual thinkers".

It visualizes the directory structure like a mind‑map.

It's an interesting idea, and I think it would be helpful for some people, but those people are not really "visual thinkers". A real visual thinker has fluid, dynamic visuals in their mind — visuals that cannot be replaced with images on screen or paper. They only slow down a real visual thinker.
