I was thinking, one day a while ago, does everyone see every object the same, or does each person see everything completely differently and their brains just edit the image so that it works with our brains? Then, I went on and thought "how would we know that we're not just being secretly controlled?" Then I read "1984". So, after that, I questioned mathematics and the possibility of infinity, and why, when every other number can be perfectly organized and displayed, why can't there be a rational number at the very end of it all? Finally, I just thought about the contradictions of religion and the quandary that religion has placed itself in by trying to show that religion is completely correct. it's mindblowing if you think about it hard enough. |

First and foremost, we see light, not objects. This also means that you do not see things as they happen, that is there is some delay. Every object holds the same form in one mind as it does in the next. I'll skip the controlling part as that's more debate and speculation. Our mathematics are human constructs, ones we use to explain the world. Infinity is a concept, not a number. It exists because we can continue to increase a number with no limits, into infinity. There can't be a rational number at the very end of it all because it is simply too easy to increase that number. If you're given a number that is the end, what happens when you add one to it? You would've made the next "end number". Religion is another device used to explain our world, but it is more obsolete than mathematics because it's primary use has been used up. That is another discussion, however. |

What if we all saw colors differently? :o |
