You see the red/green issue is such that it is based solely on "qualia" a thing that only the individual possesses access to. In all other ways your red and your friends red are absolutely indistinguishable, in theory. If I say "point to the red object" you both will. If I ask you to describe the colour you will both describe it in a similar manner, such descriptions being fairly subjective.<br /><br />Some people see this concept as being proof (or something approaching proof) of the dualist concept of consciousness, that the mind is something separate from the body.<br />Personally I doubt it is true and even if it is I do not see it as being very relevant to dualism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800491095987514922.post-62680999280931508792010-01-24T13:05:07.633-08:002010-01-24T13:05:07.633-08:00If your red is my green then your blog is my empty...If your red is my green then your blog is my empty space man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800491095987514922.post-82136468574722832862010-01-23T12:20:28.753-08:002010-01-23T12:20:28.753-08:00Thanks for the comments.

Logically also you cannot perceive the infinite with your finite senses. Whatever one experiences is just one small part of the infinite. Its like five blindfolded men groping the elephant and trying to figure out what it is. Some people say GOD is formless, others say he has form. Some have a goal of merging with the formless, some want to serve the one with the form. Some want to live in heaven while some want to lose themselves forever. The list goes on and on. But actually all are right and all are wrong at the same time!!Nitin Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445170549920614508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800491095987514922.post-36060547852785261762010-01-23T11:05:44.246-08:002010-01-23T11:05:44.246-08:00Long unsolved puzzle - of two people perceiving th...Long unsolved puzzle - of two people perceiving the same thing differently yet calling the same! I remember we discussing this. But the conflict between religions is because of reason the other way round - perceiving the same thing but calling it differently!? Right!? Indeed if it was as with colors, there would not have been conflict.<br /><br />Now 'Avatar' comes to my mind - am still with that...:) The so called "3D effect" is just actually perception. Can't it be that a museum is designed in such a way where they keep both - real objects and people and seemingly "real objects and people" out of "3D effect" and you can't tell the difference? Now they differ in that we can touch some and can't touch others!<br /><br />What I want to say? I lost track..its past midnight! Sorry! <br /><br />Very good post! Typical Nitinal!
