When I was a kid I always wondered if people really saw the same colors as everyone else. (I've mentioned that here before). I didn't think there was any way to prove that the color we call red looks the same to everyone else.
You people are all nuts. Except askye, because I still don't believe that everyone sees colors the same way. How could we know??
there is no way to know about the color thing! drives me nuts.
Coming to this late, because I’m not allowed on the board during the day anymore, but this question has perplexed sensory psychologists for generations. They actually spend time working on this. After years of controversy, recent experiments involving people’s perceptions after adding or subtracting or multiplying aspects of the visual spectrum, and looking at brain scans when people see colors, have convinced most psychologists that we all see the same colors.
I’d tell you more, but this sensory psychology stuff is so boring that I fell asleep the last time I tried to read about it. I do remember that all of the old enemies decided to be friends and believe that we see the same colors.
So, wait? We *do* all see the same colors. My paranoia-filled childhood musings seem so pointless now.

But think how many millions of dollars went towards that end.

At least our brains look the same when we do. I'm still not convinced.
Well, they do this adding and subtracting aspects of the colors, and try to find combinations that only make sense if all people are perceiving the same color at the same point of the spectrum. They can't really prove that we all see the same colors. Only that the hypothesis that we all see the same colors is the only existing hypothesis that seems to be consistent with the data. Someday someone could think of a new "different colors" theory that can explain the data, and then we will be back where we started. That is how science works.
I got my first real lesson on non-Euclidean geometry today.
Dude. Freaky, man. So, like, parallel lines can meet if that's the most convenient system for us? Whoa.
Yes, that is totally related to the seeing-the-same-color question. You all see it, right?
...right?
So is this pretty to everyone?
Because I like it.
Also, I'd like a lipstick in this shade.

Actually, yeah. Oh, and I was watching something on rational numbers and Eygptian math. I want to send you a copy so you can explain it to me.
Aw... random Cass. So cute.
