I'm tired of seeing this

"Hello, Tama2! It appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks. Why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?"

So, here's a topic.

Sometimes I think people see colors different.

For Example: When I see red, you see blue, and Jimmy sees yellow.

Anyone have odd theories or thoughts like that?

[scrumpleberry]

I know exactly what you mean. I have actually thought that myself many times, and I've never been able to explain it to everyone.

There is one other weird theory, but I can't be bothered to explain it it would take around a page.

[Rengori]

Oh my god, I always wondered that too a long time ago.

[Jojee]

I've thought about that too, especially for colorblind people... what does their world look like? xD Do blues look the same for someone else as they do for me? It's an interesting thought.

[Iceglow]

It's a case of people being very different in perception. I say grass putting the emphasis on the "ass" you say grass putting the emphasis on the "gr" part, same sort of thing really. I guess we'll never quite know why we perceive things so differently since we're all the same species.

[bipper]

It's like wheaties from the matrix. Perception of stimuli, nothing new, but obscure enough to be a good mind smurf. I am sure any good AP biology class would cover this. We are just conditioned to recognize different stimuli and label on them. So yes, this actually is closer to the case than you might think. AS far as the color deal, it comes down to the cone structure in your eyes to interpret colors as YOU see them.

[Tama2]

Let me reiterate.

Anyone have odd theories or thoughts like that?

Another thought.

I've talked to other people that thought of this also.
I think we have no control over our lives, or of what we'll do. Everything is predestined in a scientific sense.

I really don't want to type the explanation, but if someone says "NAH!"

I'll try to explain, I'm sure others could too.

O i c

I had this awesome theory about the invention of the Chip. You see, the Spaniards made these tortilla tacos, and some dumb German hit the taco and a chipped a piece off. The guy was like, "Oh hell son, you chipped my shell. Now what am I supposed to do with this..... chip!?" Next thing you know, Americans get fat. All of our problems come from the Spanish accidents and Germain clumsiness.

I think this sounds accurate. Bettar?

[Tama2]

I don't know why they won't put that in our history books.

[Mogi]

That message thing was keeling me there for a while.

About the colour thing, I've thought that for the longest time, but end up doing nothing other than confusing everyone when I try to explain it.

Personally, I can't believe that everyone lives a predetermined life. I would argue that, then, what would be the point of all this? Of course though, there's no substantial evidence on either side, or a way to prove either one over the other. Those against the belief would say that we make decisions every day that prove without a doubt that we make our own destiny, and those for the belief would rebut, saying that those decisions have already been made for you, and it was predetermined that you would choose the choices that you did.

There's not any real, 100% fool-proof way of proving either side. I believe that we make our own destinies because it's more pleasing to feel like I'm in control of my fate.

[Tama2]

Mind you, I'm not saying that there is higher being making the call of what we're going to do. We are in control, but we are going to react a certain way to a certain action no matter what we know or think.

Just one of those things that I have a hard time explainging.

[Sakura]

I love you ;o;

Pfft, it's like that on IRC
I used to be like
OMFG THIS IS RAINBOW
But someone would have different color settings
So they were like
NO IT'S NOT
And we'd get in heated debates which would end in the death of someones cat and a trail of suffering from here to california

[Proxy]

Generally everyone sees the same colors, unless they are "color blind".

[Goldenboko]

Well, it really doesn't matter so I don't think about it but, there are certain parts of the theory that have limits.

Red cannot look like blue without all of the other shades of red, pink, etc. looking like shades of Blue. The reason is bright and dark. If Yellow looked like Blue it would be dark, therefore all other bright colors would have to look dark and all dark colors will have to look bright or the difference would be notable.

Oh, I understand what you're saying.

I'm kinda in the middle, now that I understand more the actual context that you're taking. Part of me says "Well, I guess I can agree with that." Whilest the rest of me says that it's just the same as a predetermined destiny.

What you're saying seems more psychological than what I was thinking at first.
*Think, think, think*
The best way I can think of to explain it is that you feel like you're choosing for yourself, when it's really determined by a natural "instinct"-like determined predestiny.
x.x
I'm confusing myself.
I understand what you're saying.
Or I think I do.

And I'll just say again that I like to feel in control of my destiny, so I don't believe that our lives are predetermined.
XD
