This Will Trip You Out!

K what Im about to write think about really hard, it will change your outlook on what youve known your whole like to be true.

Alright look at a colour around you, any colour. Like say the boarder of site, its green right? Youve known it that colour to be green your entire life, you know what green looks like. Now think, what if what your eyes are showing you green, now think what if what you know the colour looks like isnt the same thing that someone elses brain is telling them green. Let me explain, like what you see and green, might look like purple to them (what you see as purple), or some colour you couldnt even begin to imagine. But you both know what green looks like to them. So both your concepts of green were differant. Now think would this also explain colour blindness, and why people have differant colour cordination.

Just think about it for awhile, let it all sink in.

i know exactly what your talking about....ive been through it many times with mates when we were skunked.....but surely if someone saw different colours (though called them the saME) that would have everyone having diffeerent and pretty fucked up views of reality and the world.....it would be like a constant fucked acid trip.....the sky and the grass(hehe) might clash hurting your eyes......the other thing is if your right, what the fuck does it mean when people are colour blind???????

It's nothing new. I've thought about it a lot already, and I'm sure lots of people have considered it. But yeah, that will get you thinking pretty hard.

yeah this slipped into my head a while back too haha

My friend brings this up all the time. It is false, though. Scientists have measured the wave-lengths of the colors we see and have proven that we are all viewing the same shades of color. So, science has already proven that we are all looking at the same thing.

Also, the colors that go together wouldn't work any more. Anyone who has taking an art class knows that purple and yellow match, green and red match, black and white match, and orange and blue match. If my blue was your purple, then suddenyl "blue and orange" would NOT look good to you.

"Dont you think blue and orange go together real well?" (notice how a lot of bill-boards and adverts use that color scheme... it's appealing to the eye)

"what the fuck? no. they look wack as fuck"

The reason no one says that, is because were infact all seeing the same thing.

haha...me too. I thought I was the only one:confused:

color blind people see more grey shades than color, almost in black and white

I believe everyone has thought about this I think about it every other day because I am a bit of a theorist...but yea its a very complex Idea and thats why I belive different people have different views of beauty because I see things that I think are beautiful and yet they are ugly to others the letter "P" might look like a "Q" to someone else...its all a state of mind

dud i totally think about shit like that all time its so insane

Yeah i've thought about it too before. The funny ways of stoners I guess.

I've thought about that tons of times (sober), and I always thought I was just being weird.

This also might explain the fucked colours you see on an acid trip. You brain is so fucked that it cant interperate the colours right. Also try to think of a colour that dosnt exist. Im not saying a mixing of colours but a totally brand new colour. You cant.

For the record, color blindness doesn't have much to do with perception of color. It's a problem with a person's genetics and eyeball biochemistry. It usually effects guys because it's an x-linked trait, and guys have only one x chromosome, so if it's messed up, you're screwed, while girls have two x chromosomes - almost like a backup if one is messed up. What happens normally in an eyeball is that light of different wavelengths (i.e. colors) come in and zaps these photoreceptors called cones. There are three types of cones - those that are primarily effected by red, blue and green light. When light of that color (i.e. wavelength) hits the cone, an electrical signal is generated and goes down a nerve to our brain, which then interprets that as color. When you are color blind you have a messed up ratio of the different red/green/blue cones.

This reminds me of the first time I got stoned and started talking to a group of freshman college students about Hydrogen Bonding in DNA and how cool it is.

Yeah, I am one of those nerdy stoners sometimes.

...hydrogen bonding in dna....wow I never think past food when I am stoned lol

color blind?

LOLLLLLLL

i alwyas think about that , my theory is is that no one sees the exact same color but its all pretty similar like maybe my green is lighter to other people or darker and such. I dont htink when i see green soemone sees pink and thinks its green

Listen to zalami.
EDIT: oh by the way i can think of 9 colors that don't exist. Maybe i'll tell you how you can too someday.

hahahaha fuckkk i was just thinking the same thing last week man!

Ah, this was something for me to ponder about when i wasnt even in school yet(or maybe a bit after i started school, i dunno). Back then it was weird, now its a pretty normal thought.

If you would take that to a further level, what if EVERYTHING was a big scheme? What if everything you could perceive would be perceived differently by someone else, but doing the deed n.1 would always still have the same effect? I mean, if you petted someones head, who knows what the fuck you would be doing really. And when the reaction to that would be what you would think it would be, would only be because you perceived it as such. I mean, in reality you would be doing something entirely different, but doing that deed always would have the same kind of an echo to it, meaning the outer world would respond with its way, but you would just perceive it differently.
Unlikely, but think about it. Its possible, sort of like the...what was that philosopher again that talked about the shadow world and stuff? You know, the cave example thing? My text was a bit confusing, perhaps, but i mean a similiar thing.

Im just too tired.:(

i kinda always thought like that but more of the tasting area... "Taste buds"
Such as ... Olives or something... .. we all taste olives the same way but i dont want to be all technical about it but something with the brain waves going in the wrong funnel of tubes and makes the timings of the person saying they like it or not or some shit like that?? do ya feel it?

wierd. ive thought of the same thing

i never thought bout this never really cared and now its hurting my mind cause i rarely use it

But dont go to far down the path of trying to figure life out cuz you can "unlearn" something like that. Y do you think that there are smart people in insane assylums? For me I say ignorance is bliss, in most cases, espaecially this case. But ya what if life is just a joke or a game. Well I say live it to the fullest, get the high score, lol.

Or hey think this one over. What if your whole life is just a memory. Well it is.

Or this one. What if your actually in a coma right now, but hey your unconicious and the only way out is to live your life threw, and all the hype about suicide is just to keep you from escaping.

This is the shit I think about stoned, kinda scarey I got to admit. O BTW I in noway am thinking of killing my self nor will I ever. Im goin for the high score lol.

Points to ponder...
