Have you ever thought of this

[Mean Green Charlene]

DUDE I THINK THE SAME WAY, but with colors, like right now im looking at black text, only what looks black to me may look red to you, but we both call it black coz you grew up your whole life hearing people use the word black for that specific color!!!!!!!

Thats a good example. And i agree and question that too.

Have you ever thought of this Maybe everysingle thing we see, is completely another thing someone else sees but somehow the words are the same?. okay like this preten i say "hey look at that tree" at what im looking at is the plant with a brown trunk and green leaves and is pretty. Obviously you know what im talking about, but whatever some people thought what we call a tree as something like..a trashcan. So when we say look at that tree, they say yeah its cool looking, but theyre really talking about a trash can. Rating: 5

I'm glad there are others who have thought of that.

totally get what you're saying dude...i was gonna post the idea with the colors but it got posted already! Thinking is fucking cool...This is kinda a whole new subject but has anybody thought about how in general, the basic goal of any human being is to stay alive and live long just as any other animal, but we've become so sophisticated through the course of time that everyone goes through the same system of life (like childhood, school, work, generating a family, and being prosperous) but in general our goal is to just to stay alive...man if i was baked i could probably explain it better but yeah just throwin some of my ideas out there.

LOL that is so understanble, I don't think I would be able to understand it sober.

Similar to what you are talking about. I have alway's wondered how certain blind people imagine a tree. Assuming they were blind from birth. Let's say they have had a tree described to them as having a brown trunk (cylinader shaped) with long thin branches which are also brown. Attached to these brances are green leaves. I'm sure the shape would be close to our preception because they can feel that along with texture. But as for colors and the over all picture it would be difficult.

I have always wanted to talk to a blind man about this and ask him to try and describe in detail how he imagines a tree or anything else.

I'm sorry but I'm totally missing the point where It's fun and interesting to get high and retarted and type up irrelevent confusing bullshit like it made sense or something.

This is stupid. A cow is a cow, a horse is a horse.

You two last replies aren't thinking enough. If you don't like it, don't do it. But don't try and ruin the fun for others who like tripping out on it. :stoned:

What if what you call a cow, isn't really a cow. its really a horse? you grew up being taught and showed that it was a cow, but it really is a horse.

These are obviously not good examples, but i tried to make it really simple. It goes into depth i cant explain for me.

Maybe explaining it like this.

What if you tell a chinese man to look at the cow. Him not understanding good english sees the horse but thinks of the word cow. From than on he will precieve the english word cow as what we see as a horse...
