Oh shoot, I questioned life.

[GhostOfBetaTapes]

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.

*Atomshocks Head Explodes*
You have a very arguable yet logical state of mind am I correct?

No, it's not actually.

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

then friends and rainbow men would be straight :/

I have a silly idea that people see different colors but are taught to know them as "blue" "red" "green" etc.
EG. someone see's blue as a light pink color while someone else sees it as a dark green.

I see blue blue and green green

Holy stuff
I thought about the same thing about 3 years ago

I suppose. Never though about how I think.

My math teacher said the exact same thing. It's not about the viewing of what we think is real, but what IS real. Therefore, where one person could see a blank wall, another would see a wall with a door in it, and the actions of someone else who thinks that there is a door is modified by the brain of the person who thinks that there isn't a door, so that the actions match the physics model that they learned.

But, that does bring up a different question. how would someone figure out if someone has a completely flipped palette of color? So if I saw blue, the other person saw red?

If our brains adapted like that then we would all be dead by now. Beyond that, you'd know about it. Doors don't just appear in the middle of walls.

As for colors, our eyes and brains develop in the same ways. Only color-blind people see different colors. For example, my father is partially color blind, and sees some blues as greens and some greens as greys, etc. The thing is, everyone else around him sees it correctly, so if he says something blue is green everyone else knows that it's blue, thus the brain functionality is the same and he is the exception, not the rule.

Go get jobs, hippies.

People do see colors slightly differently and people who are colorblind see them very differently.
