What is synesthesia from a scientific perspective?
It's something that women have more often than men do, but also as a man I have it. And a quick rundown is that I have basic fundamental associations that most people do not have.
Most of you associate republican with red and democrat with blue, or you associate red with angry or love, and blue with sad, or things like that...
Synesthesia to me is when I have more associations that are seemingly arbitrary and inherit like I've always had them. Like I see 0 as black and 1 as white and A as red, and Saturday as yellow.
It is a rather unimpactful condition that effectively changes nothing for the most part although I kind of like it because it is interesting. I just have a memory of all of these associations and I pretty much can't forget them. Like I'll always be able to answer that A is red no matter when you ask me because I just remember it by default like how you know that republican is also red.
It's like that basically.
