      Psychology and philosophy is science as well. Derek is more of a journalist than a science educator.

      color blind people are also why we know people who arent color blind see the same colors. because we already know how to precieve color differently, we can observe and research color blindness, and detect the causes directly. if every person has this variants than color is perceived differently. but if only color blind people have this variant its safe to say everyone else sees green the same.

    Also, when I was younger the sense that people didn't or couldn't understand what I was feeling or trying to say was so frustrating - that I couldn't just take those things and like, transplant them into another person. That (in part) drove me to writing and music, trying to express myself in specific and unique ways; to try to create something external that represented my feelings as accurately as possible. But what you're thinking and feeling change as you engage with yourself, new information is added during externalization, some information will always be left out and even if that weren't the case, no one will interpret it the same way I do because they have different experiences, different ideas, emotions, personalities - different biology.
    That's something that can feel quite defeating; what, then, is the point of any of this? But there is still meaning in sharing something - anything - with other people, because whatever you share will go through a process of evolution, changing form and meaning as others interpret it, being refined until there is either common acceptance of the thing's essence, or a recognition that such commonality can't be reached so it's back to the drawing board to try approaching from another angle or move on to something else. And in that way, we develop shared realities which are, to me, a collaborative work of art.

    Thanks for another great selection, and response. In regards to talking about pain (this is a tangent to what you both were talking about), as someone who experienced a fair deal of pain in a serious car accident, our brains (understandably) can't remember pain, the way we remember happiness (you remember a moment and you re-experience that feeling). We can remember that it was painful, but can't recall how it felt. We can do that with other emotions/feelings, but not pain. As I said, there's a reason for it, the brain doesn't want to relive it. Along the lines of what you and he said, pain is a lonely thing.

    There is actually a way to determine if my red is your green: illuminate a strawberry with red light then with green light. It should appear red first and black in the second case.

    Vsauce is a great channel with tons of thought provoking videos! It's definitely a worthy rabbit hole to dive down, whether for reactions or on your own.

    Book recommendation: "Shades of Grey - The Road to High Saffron" by Jasper Fforde
    It's a novel about living in a Colortocracy, where your social standing depends on which color(s) you can see. The novel has been often compared to "Brave New World" and "1984" - it is a dystopia, but written in a very humorous style. It has become my personal tradition to read it every year during the Christmas holidays, so I was just finished again now. Please read this book, I cannot recommend it enough!

    The color you see when you close your eyes outside in bright sun is just the light shining through your eyelids which are somewhat transparent if the light is bright enough.
    You get the same effect if you shine a powerful flashlight through a finger. The red you see is just the blood and flesh blocking most colors but allowed red through.
    (This is different to the moving colors and patterns you might see if you close your eyes in a dark room)

    I had a servere squint from birth, so I never developed any stereoscopic depth perception. I developed my sight to be one eye only….
    I mean, I can choose what eye I wish to use consciously. It does have an impact on my ability to most sports, but I played some hockey years ago. The coach one day decided to let us all use an eyepatch to cover one eye. I was as good (read: BAD) as always, but all others where more or less helpless in comparison to me. They told me to switch to the other eye, it didn’t change anything. It was my normal, not theirs.

    I have 15/20 vision (better than 20/20) and am not color blind, but whenever I play video games, I always turn on the protanopia color blind setting, because it’s easier on the eyes.

    @shazbotgaming7576 Год назад

    Vsauce is awesome, I've watched everyone of his videos. He's slowed down the last few years but every episode is good. Oh and he always finds a new way to enter the frame when they do a "take" which is a funny quirk I always appreciated.

    ya know, I found you through a george carlin video. I am a thoughtful person, but mostly I come to youtube for comedy, or other relaxing endeavors. I dont often watch Vsauce or other heavy thinking channels like yours. however, I love how thoughtful your comments are. I am going to subscribe. I may not stay, since this isnt normally my type of channel, but I wanted to know that your content is appreciated, and needed. keep up the good work.

  • @taidee
    @taidee 11 месяцев назад

    The thing about color differences has fascinated me for decades. For example I realized early on in my life that my eyes perceive color and the light intensity slightly differently, meaning that I could describe what I see with my left eye similarly to how I would describe vision from my right eye, however if I'm actually comparing them, things appear within brighter color hues on my right than my left, but just slightly. That started me on wondering how other people are actually perceiving a similar scene as compared to me.

    Great reaction, surprised you're just now coming across VSauce. Regarding how a person could describe colors to someone blind, the visible light wavelengths (nm) can be converted to THz and probably more effective to scale down (-12 OoM) further to Hz. Run it through a device to oscillate at the frequency representative of the color. The blind person would then be able to "feel the difference between colors".
    Enjoying your videos, keep up the great work.

  • @LG123ABC
    @LG123ABC Год назад +1

    I've seen videos of someone who was born deaf hearing for the first time (they seem very amazed and happy), but I've never seen a video of someone who was born blind seeing for the first time. We may not have the technology to make that happen yet, but it would be cool to witness their reaction to seeing all the different colors and finding out if they were anything like what they had imagined they would be.

    • @alexo_pog
      @alexo_pog Год назад

      maybe one day we could stream a video directly to a blind persons brain and make them see it, maybe, hope their brain doesnt melt from that crazy event though

    Sympathy, compassion and empathy are also subjects people intensely differ in. Thats why the Sally Anne test is so interesting. Same with sensitivity of the skin and the senses. I've always thought about this and how people are so different concerning these subjects because their experiences are so different.

  • @Camroc37

    Vsauce is the GOAT with learning complicated or mind bending things. My favorite of his is called "What will we miss", should be one of his most popular videos. Definitely watch that one.

  • @XMachete
    @XMachete Год назад

    This reminds me of a discussion I had yesterday on the question of pursuing truth. I labeled that a fool's errand thinking they meant absolute truth, a metaphysical concept which is unknowable from our subjective viewpoint, and by which I did not mean the pursuit of knowledge, that being almost an imperative of our species. And here we see that even our cataloguing of agreed-upon experience has a limit. We can catalogue colors and agree on which color is which, name it, classify it based on wavelength but that doesn't speak to some larger, fundamental truth beyond our experiential knowledge (however abstracted through theory and measurement).

    I’ve been saying this for years - we are told a particular colour is called ‘red’ (for example) but we may be seeing it in the way someone else sees green, we’ve just been told from a young age to call that particular thing ‘red’. My partner is colour blind, he still associates a particular shade with red, which is interesting in itself. But anyway, yes nobody can see with anyone else’s eyes or brain.

    I swear I saw this video 10 years ago, just when it came out, and ever since, I have tried finding it again, just to remember the term "The explanatory gap", so that I could explain it to others more properly (well, I could explain it, but I could not put the name on it). The fact that it was "The explanatory gap" and nothing more exotic, is a bummer.. TEN YEARS later when the search is finally over. The original video needs better keywords so it is easier to find, haha. And ultimately, I guess _qualia_ is the word I was really looking for.

    I have recently thought that it might be possible that everyone's experience of everything could be vastly and completely different, not only colours, but also things like feelings and emotions. And it might explain why some people really enjoy life and think every experience is amazing, and why for some people the opposite might apply and life is mostly just blah.

    I just stumbled across your channel yesterday. Actually, I've never been interested in "reaction videos" before. Why would I when I simply can watch the original content. But it's different with you. I could listen to you for hours. Ich wünsche Dir einen guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr! - can't translate this properly - have a good "transition" to the new year. And enjoy your holidays. Looking forward to watch some future content - maybe about "German Rap" - that would be funny (for me). Take care and all the best!

    There’s a Vsauce video called “The zipf mystery”. I don’t remember most of the video, but one section of it was about the Library of Babel.
    It was one of the most fascinating things I’ve learned about. I highly recommend.
