"If we lived in a world that contained only the color red, not only would we not understand "blue," but we wouldn't really understand "red."" - some anthropologist |
||||||||
|

|
|
thats actually really cool. kinda relates to my idea that we may all see colors completely differently, but noone knows because we have the same names for the colors. or something like that, its hard to explain |
||||||||
|

that anthropologist probably vasted half of his life to come up with something brilliant as this. |

You ever wonder if atoms are really, like, tiny universes? |
||||||||
|
|

not since i saw mib |

Or if our universe is a tiny atom? |

dude you're beautiful don't ever change |

|
ever wonder if the light stays on when you shut the fridge door? how can we ever really know for sure? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sit inside the fridge, thats how |

|

In Australia the light goes out when you open the door. And lobsters scream if you don't cook them. |

It is strange to think beauty and all emotions are human illusions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They are the consequences of neurochemistry which is hardly an illusion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
there's a little tab on the fridge, which the top of the door runs into at an angle and keeps up, and the light stays off. you'll see it, flip it off yourself. |

He's just saying the don't have an objective reality outside of our own brain; unlike how they are usually thought about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a good, simple argument. It's making me think because I had nearly concluded awhile back that beauty basically does not exist and therefore art is a pointless waste of time. I am me and have the genotype and phenotype to experience emotions. They therefore exist in a sense. Maybe illusion isn't the right word and maybe it is. |

closing the door and standing there pressing a little piece of plastic are not the same thing ;) |

I think kermit the frog lives in my fridge. I try to sneak up, open the door really suddenly but he always manages to hide just quick enough... somewhere. But I know he's there. And one day when I open it, he will leap out and stab me with a banana. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at least then you'd know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, but then my death would prevent me from being able to tell anyone else of his wicked existence. He'd start hiding in someone else's fridge, maybe yours..., and the process would start all over. |

this thread is fascinating |

the qoute is referring to our language. language = barriers + freedom, which means that while language is the only thing that gives you the freedom to express yourself, you cannot think, describe or do something which isn't in your language. For instance, certain rain-forest-tribes in south-america don't have the concept of several days. they experience the same day over and over, and if you run, the sun sets faster. If everything was red, red wouldn't need to be in our language, nor would any of the other colours. |
