  • @eroticfrog2065
    @eroticfrog2065 3 месяца назад +11

    I think that everyone sees color somewhat the same because If people did have different perceptions of colors then colors that contrast would be different to each person. So things like the videos that use black and white contrast to trick your vision wouldn’t work on some people because in the case that we don’t see all colors the same, someone would get two colors that don’t contrast and therefore the visual effect wouldn’t work.

    • @agustinespildora
      @agustinespildora 2 месяца назад +3

      It's a good point. But I think it is possible we see different colors anyway, keeping the same contrast between what I call red and green and what you call red and green. Take the negatives for example, red's negative is light blue, and green's negative is purple. The contrast between red and green could be the same as light blue and purple and it wouldn't make too much of a difference. Maybe it's not always the negative but the color spectrum could be a bit shifted, and contrast would allow to distinguish as different colors anyway

    • @juvenildr
      @juvenildr Месяц назад +3

      no you didn't get the brain's color interpretation point. let's say there is a strawberry which is red to you and a leaf which is green. in a b&w tv you will see them same contrast if their color value are same. you can not recognise the difference. and other person who sees red as your green also will see it like that. in a colored screen every pixel has a value of red, green and blue in the range of 0 to 255. for a strawberry it is 255 for red value and zero for others. for a leaf it is 255 for green and 0 for others. in a b&w screen the values will be same for strawberry and leaf so you can not distinguish them. to recognise the difference leaf or strawberry must have a different value. e.g. 200 for red and 255 for leaf and so in a b&w screen you will see a contrast difference.

      what if the color wheel is just adjusted, like we all agree orange is after red, but what if your orange is my purple, it wouldnt mean that my red could be your yellow, instead what if my red is your blue, therefore, we see red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, in this order, but you might see it as my perception of blue, purple, red, orange, yellow, green, in that order, but still calling it the same name, keeping the contrast

    When I was in 5th grade I asked my teacher this same question of is your red the same as mine? And if you throw a ball 100mph, and I drive a motorcycle 100mph right next to it, would I be able to reach out and grab it and not feel any force from the ball? She told me I need to stop wondering about such nonsense. It made me sad and I’ll never forget it.

      But what you refer to as "alone" is based on previous experiences, and based on the fact you think it is possible not to be "alone" (because if it is possible to be alone, it is also possible to not be alone). If you think it's possible not to be "alone" it means you've experienced not being "alone" before, even though, at that time, you were still "alone in your mind", so it's a contradiction. Most of the times you start feeling this way, or feeling that nothing makes sense, it is a flawed statement, because it contradicts true experiences you had in the past, and I keep seeing people fall in this trap over and over. For example, you may think "everything I have and will ever done is predestined to be this way, because that's how matter works. If I were to create a 100% perfect computer simulation of the Big Bang, everything would repeat itself and the necessary information for the whole universe would already be contained and determined in the Big Bang. Therefore I have no free will, because I am just matter reacting to other matter". The last sentence is a flawed statement. Just because you dwelved deeper into how things work, it doesn't mean you don't have "free will". In the past, you have made choices, by which you defined "free will" to yourself. Now you claim that your own definition of "free will" doesn't exist to you even though you've experienced it and defined it in the past.

      or i always wondered what blind persons are "seeing" when they are not able to see. then i saw a r/askreddit post about that some guy that was blind and is now able to see and while i was looking at the comments i got my answer: he said actually they see "nothing" not black or white or anything, just nothing. And best way to understand this is to close one of your eyes. You will only see the vision in your open eye and you wont really see black with the closed eye like when you close both of your eyes

      More difficult I think. It's like discovering a completely new sense. After all, a deaf person can't understand the sensation of hearing even if he can see. But we can see so a new color wouldn't be that surprising if we compare it to a blind person seeing for the first time.

      Something I had in my brain for a while...
      So you exist right now. You do what you do and think what you think. And other people do that too, but you can only experience yourself. So you all exist, and when you die, you no longer exist. So when you die, you are gone. But how? And think of the universe. It’s exists. And according to science the universe is expanding, which means it does have an end. Then what’s outside of the end? It can’t be an endless loop of things outside, just like the universe can’t be endless. And if nothing exists, then how does it work? Nothing has to exist but if nothing exists, what is the world? Nothing? And how does that work? Nothing exists, and there is 100% nothing. But what is there when there is nothing??
      I don’t even know if you will get it (or even read it)

      @@mantvydascepas1912 Hey dude it's just an observation. I don't fully think people are actually alone. It's just one way of looking at it because most people are unable to truly know what someone else is thinking so sometimes people feel alone. It's just an element of out divided consciousness, but yes we are moving to a place where consciousness will be connected. Science is finding out consciousness is a field and not just individual beings.
      I don't take things including myself so seriously so I know whenever I make an observation that I can easily contradict it. That's just life.

      @@mantvydascepas1912 Yeah, that's your perpesctive. But, despite having a strong community, we can never truly understand, can never look into other's minds to know their perpesctive of the world. What if, my red is your blue, my sweet is your bitter, etc ? We can never know.
      We can feel like we are expressing the world, but it is just feeling made up by our senses and our minds. Senses and minds can be tricked by illusions. And yet, these are the only sources of information we get. So we are all alone in our minds, never be able to access to the truth, but only the approximate truth.
      Of course, this is a strangle view of the world. Much people prefer your perpesctive, because it is considered healthier. This is just a shower thought.

      GoldenMiru I'd say not, because of how some colors like blue can calm us down, and red makes us more agressive. Surely it's unique to the colour and not the perception...
