truth is as simple as math
2 + 2 is always 4
anything else is a lie
if you can "PROVE" otherwise you may have an arguement
I disagree that color is entirely quantifiable and not a matter of perspective. I challenge any male to take a female with them into a paint store. Ask the woman what each color is. I assure you, most of them will not be "blue" or "red"!
But it tells us nothing about the full numbers! They could well be rounded numbers, in which case the answer isn't truly 4.
Just because Bish edited the religious references out of your first statement, lets not retroactively try to make this about something else.
I challenge you to "prove" even one of the assumptions upon which your beliefs are predicated. I don't go around trying to foist my religiosity or lack thereof onto other forum members, unprovoked. I'd appreciate if I could read a thread on a fish forum without having to sift through your evangelical nonsense. Seriously, you're free to believe whatever you want, but this is not the place to discuss it.
Let me just leave you with this tremendously paraphrased quote.
(belief, opinion, religion, take your pick) is like a certain male body part. It's fine to have one, it's fine to be proud of it, but it's best kept to yourself in public, and please, whatever you do, don't go around trying to shove it down other people's throats.
Can a Moderator close this thread or delete all religious posts? This is meant to be a friendly discussion, not a war zone over religion.
Weltanschauung...I am telling that is the answer to this thread, everything is dependent upon that.
I actually understand what FF is getting at. We all agree that the color of light at 475nm is "blue". We cannot know how others perceive blue since we're not reading their mind. FF's blue may look red to me, but since I've always assigned that 475nm color with blue, I will call it blue since that is my reference color for blue. Now I doubt this is the case, but it is an interesting though and something I've wondered about before. What if the green grass I see appears purple to someone else, but since they think purple is what I see as green, they see it as normal.
If what the OP postulates was true for every person, color blindness could not logically exist, as that would be the norm for everyone. At the same time, what he is describing is in fact, color blindness itself. People that are color blind see colors differently, while the rest of us see them normally.
Questions like these are easily answered by science, but debated and argued about by people who don't understand said science. I'm not going waste my day finding links and proving a meaningless point. If you really want to know why we all colors are what they are, and why we all see them the same way, I suggest you do some actual research into the question that goes beyond opinions on a fish forum.

whoa, whoa, I was just trying to get a friendly discussion out there for everyone.... no need to be so cichlidy.
