Agreed! I was just wondering what other things we accept as universal that are actually pretty different from one person to another. I mean, we can all see how everyone's hair color is different but I never really thought there were other ways to read than the way I did it (by subvocalizing). I just assumed that everyone reads/thinks that way, the same way that nobody thinks about making their heart pump if you know what I mean. It might sound obvious but it blew my mind that people actually think very differently. I somehow assumed everyone thought more or less the same way but just had different... preferences?
