"Not Thinking in Pictures"

I think it was interesting that this article focus on the idea of people being "deprived" and that someone could have their "intelligence wrongly judged" because they are not able to see things in a visual manner. To someone who only sees in visual ideas then yes, I could understand where they would be coming from to say that people are missing out because that is all they know. To someone who thinks in a more mathematical way or auditory manner, they probably would not think they are missing anything.

I think the idea of the grass always being greener on the other side applies to this situation. It is easy to have a certain ability and look at someone who doesn't have that ability and think they are missing something. All the while, that same person, with a different ability, might be looking at you and thinking the same thing because you lack the abilities they have.
