If you wish to do so try to do it in your own words. You do realize that in the real world, there are no colors -- yes? Color is a biological reaction to certain vibrations on the receptors in the eye, probably a little more complex than that, but that is it basically. There are no colors in the real world, just energy and vibrations of said energies.Flannel Jesus wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 8:42 pm No, if the world were run by the colour blind, it wouldn't switch to us being called colour blind and them being called normal. It should switch to them being called normal and us having some sort of super-sense, or enhanced vision.
Are you making these posts from your intuition without having read about it? It feels like this is just your intuitive opinion. It's fine as an intuitive opinion, but it's the sort of opinion that will disappear once you start reading about it.
You've come in here and said very confidently all sorts of stuff about color blindness that you could only possibly say out of ignorance. This whole "say it in your own words" thing doesn't work, because it's not words that are the problem. No words I could say could stand in for the scientific facts about how color blindness works. I could TELL you the facts, but, as has already been demonstrated, me telling you the facts produces no guarantee that you will accept the facts, which is why I'm encouraging you to cure your ignorance and read about it. You are already apparently not willing to budge just from words alone, which is fair enough, you need evidence. Evidence isn't here, my words cannot constitute the type of evidence that would be effective here, spend some time just reading the Wikipedia page and come back to the conversation a little less ignorant.
I've recommended two podcasts that give at least some interesting background information, the second one talks about color blindness much more than the first but they both have interesting things to say. They are brief overviews for laymen, obviously, and not a replacement for a university textbook or academic journals, but considering you want it in my words, I don't think you're looking to invest the time in a textbook or journals anyway, so perhaps a brief podcast is suitable.
Everyone's sense of taste is not the same, but if they have a sense of taste but it is not just like yours, it is not a defect. If one has no sense of taste, then one has a defect.
