people whose mode of thought is the ingestion and recitation of lists of Things.

Specifically, about how conversation involving abstraction, or processes, or alternate category systems and their comparison, et al., might seem to them.

Like magic, I suspect.

Awesome and superhuman magic if they like the person/people delivering the discourse, or where the discourse goes.

Shoddy cheating chicanery if they dislike the person/people delivering the discourse, or where the discourse goes.

I picture the internal sensation that goes with the image of a buffalo grumpily shaking its head.

Here is the first of a series with the same title, for anyone who finds background necessary or interesting.
