Color blind or different preception on reality...

Lankster187 · Sep 22, 2011

So today at work I was talking with a guy at work that is color blind. The whole concept is kinda fucked as is, but we started to wonder... When i see the color red, and you see the color red, we agree that it is red. BUT what if its not? what if we have just been trained to think something is the way it is? Maybe if we had something "red", took it back 2000 years ago, it would be precieved as something different... :eyesmoke:

but what if the color red isnt actually red...

what if my cock isn't really a cock...? what if it's a vagina, or a baseball cap, or a can of lima beans?

i just stuck my dick in your ear and fucked with your mind, didnt i?

What if water isn't really water and instead is horse piss?

Hepheastus420 · Sep 22, 2011

Good answer dots.

Lankster: it would be blue.

Ganjajames: then you would have a vagina equipped with a baseball cap and a ball sack.

Socatasmoker: what if horse piss is water? Therefore we drink water.

Op: what if we all see a different shade of a color. Like I see red and you see blue but your blue is my red and and my blue is your red? There's no way we would be able to know.

Well colour is just a percepction, there are no coloured molecules.

i allllllways think of this, but not just with colour blind people with anyone lol... how do you really find out if you're colour blind? maybe i am :$

Which number do you see?

fdd2blk · Sep 22, 2011

color is simply the reflection of light.

"blood red"

Ya sorry to break it to ya buddy bet the science of why colors appear to us the way they do is not objectively different over time. A color is a color. Color blind people just have fucked up eyes a little bit. Lay off the shrooms for a little while dude.

I think in the dark nothing has any color... do patterns and designs go away in the dark?? There is no light to make them anything...do logos etc just vanish?? :shock:

No that's like saying it just vanishes because you don't see it. The inc on the page dose not dissapear. There is just no light refracting off of it. Its still there.

but suppose you had a red shirt with blue and yellow ink on it...without light "refracting" off of it, how would the boundaries of the image be defined?

by the molecule structure of the different colored inks.

I think everyones view is right just like sound. Time to go back to physics class, imagine yourself out on a nice sunday drive you hear that all too familiar sound the police sierns.. At first you hear a higher pitch it gets louder and louder and police car is right along the side of your car. Now you hear a different tone the same sound the policeman has been hearing the whole time. As he pulls ahead of you notice the siern has a lower pitch. so which view point is right? they all are

it's all about "the waves".

I think its physical science...not physics...and doppler effect has nothing to do with color.
