I used to play a lot of GTA while tripping. When I started playing I used to hate a good 80% of the music on the radio stations in that game. After playing it while tripping many times I learned an appreciation for a much larger variety of music. Now I like it all. -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon Well no, it might look entirely different for person A or person B. It's not currently known. That's not to say that it could actually be. We have no idea whether or not the supposedly qualitative content of our experiences is in fact entirely subjective.
A materialist would contest that since these experiences, to the best of our knowledge, are rooted in physical phenomena, they should be describable like physical phenomena, and thus it should be knowable what your "experience" of a particular colour is, and whether or not it is the same as mine is purely a matter of knowledge.
If we assume that this is not the case then you could make that contention. But you have to establish that idea first.
Colour is a function of the visual systems in our brains and not an intrinsic property of the objects we are viewing. A car is giving off light of a specific, objective wavelength that your visual system interprets as the colour red. However, your girlfriend may look at the car and see it as more of an orange colour. This is because men and women evolved to perceive colours slightly differently. Even individuals within the sexes will perceive colours slightly differently, because the specific wavelength of light the object is giving off is not a specific colour. -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon But it's still dependent on the "noumenal" reality of the wavelength of light. Red is not blue because it is the wavelength of light required for our brain to read it as red.
But "red" can look entirely different for person A than for person B even when they are viewing the exact same wavelength of light because the colour they see is subjective experience dependent on how their brains interpret the information. -

2018-01-10 at 7:18 PM UTC in Do you believe in God?It's more than a belief, it's a way of looking at the world differently. Some people would call it god. We are all connected, we are all divine beings, the self is an illusion.
But besides that way of looking at the world I do believe that given enough time and resources man will create a God. -

Originally posted by Dissociator youre a fucking idiot. we know it exists because our eyes are capable of viewing the color spectrum, there are technologies that utilize light waves, lasers, certain microscopes, cameras even. just like we know particles exist, protons neutrons electrons, quarks, stars, galaxies, neural impulses, they are measurable existances
Specific wavelengths are not specific colours. A specific wavelength will appear to be a different colour for a woman than it appears to be for a man. Other creatures may percieve colours much differently than you do. Light exists in the physical world but colours only exist in your mind. -

"No, I totally got you."
When the curtain comes down and the hero and the villain step out hand in hand, the audience applauds both, because they know that the hero role and the villain role are only masks.
There's just a relative manifestation of consciousness appearing, and then given a bunch of ideas like a name, a religion, a nationality, and he clustered those together into something that is supposed to be a personality, but when closely examined we discover that none of that stuff is actually real.
What's going on right now is people are asking themselves "Who am I?" and they become depressed because they keep trying to hold up this image to the world, show the world how successful they are and how much better they are, and that's what depression is, when someone is trying to be the Wizard of Oz instead of the sweaty guy behind the curtain. Oz is just a character. People are trying to "be someone" for the world.
So behind the scene, under the surface, that is to say "in reality" we are all the actor. You are not the you that you think you are.
