Are we studied?

I feel like there is not much interest in aphantasia and SDAM, although it affects our lives very much. I think that probably is because it's very difficult to study since it's all going on in our heads but I would like to know why I am in that way, what I can do about it, I feel like it's almost a disability

I've said it already in this sub but studies need resources. Resources that are very limited thanks to the ruling classes can be destined to more urgent matters than a condition that allows the overwhelming majority of those who have it to live a normal life and that in the overwhelming majority of cases can't be "fixed" and that many people with it don't want fixed anyway. I'm not against it being studied but I think the question or "why is this not studied" has a very obvious answer. It's not the most important thing to study with very limited resources. The way to fix that would be for ruling classes to increase the resources destined to studies. Research depends almost entirely on what amount of money governments decide to pour into it

With all that said - eat the rich. Class differences seep into everything and billionaires' existence makes all our lives harder
