Well that's just too bad for you, anon. After all,how can mirrors be real if your eyes aren't real?
>>43912399
Don't do this shit Anon. Don't. This is like the whole "We all actually see different colours but we just share the same names." thing
>>43912502
I am so glad I solved that stupid thought experiment in grade 6 by just saying "Well what about the brightness and contrast of colors, you'd call something dark but if I saw it as another color I'd call it light" plus you know science and color spectrums
>>43910587
This is a normal day. Also my shadow is a dragon.
>>43912502
>This is like the whole "We all actually see different colours but we just share the same names." thing
...in that they're both complete nonsense? Anon, I'm worried about you now.
>>43912633
Actually color blindness in its myriad of forms gives the answer of "Yes, we do sometimes perceive colors differently while calling them by the same name."
>>43912502
>>43912633
Also the fact that it's just fucking inconsequential. We associate things to words by, well, association. If someone points to a tree and says 'tree', we'll associate the word 'tree' with a tree. Over the years we may diversify our understanding of 'tree' to mean big leafy things with a trunk, or specify it further to differentiate how an 'oak tree' is similar to, but not the same as, a 'pine tree'.
So, you know what green is because you've seen a fuckton of green objects. It doesn't matter if the 'objective colour' of the object is purple, it's green to you because you see ALL objectively purple objects as green. Thus, regardless of what you actually see, the definition of the word shifts to fit the pattern with which you were taught the word.
I mean, how do definitions of colour work. You could say wavelength of light, but the entire point is that in this thought experiment your eyes do not equate 700nm to red, or 300 to blue. The light's the same, and even though you see blood as the same colour with which I see blueberries, you still call it red.
Colour is entirely subjective, and thus this is a meaningless question that lacks a definitive answer. Language is just a code for our sensations; it cannot be treated as separate from our perceptions.
>>43912633
Just blew my mind, thank you.
>>43912720
That's not what the thought experiment posits, though. Color blindness is a real condition, as is the condition of having one or more extra cones to see MORE colors.
The dumb idea is that we all see colors differently. Like, everyone has a palette shift for their entire spectrum and sight. I see purple, you actually see what I would consider to be orange. It's stupid as hell. It's how I immediately thought of the counter-argument, because if your dark purple IS my neon orange, then we'd argue over how bright it is.
>>43912796
That only works for the saturation or brightness of colors, not the actual hues themselves.
>>43912726
Real talk, isn't the concept true in a very roundabout way, in the sense that our eyes adapt to certain wavelengths of light, even if those aren't the 'objective' wavelengths?
What I mean is that I was told that the sun actually emits primarily green light, and a shitload of it, and we can see that clearly by trees and chlorophyl. But our eyes have evolved to perceive the yellow of the spectrum from that light, even if the sun's 'true' color is technically green.
It's probably more mundane than that though, and it's something we all share as a species, nobody gets special snowflake spectrum without color blindness or hypercolor.
>>43912838
Except different hues are just different wavelengths of visible light.
>>43912796
I'm not the person you are replying too, but would this be another way to phrase what you are saying?
Because the intensity of the photons reflecting off an object is a constant, our perception of said colors must be similar. Because the number of photons bouncing off an object is whatever it is, it would be impossible for two different sets of eyes to signal this differently to the brain.
Also, would this relate in some way to how biological organisms that wish to avoid predation evolve to be brighter colors?
>>43910587
>Your shadow has a mind of its own and constantly makes snarky comments and annoys the party.
>>43912894
It's a thing a lot of kids discuss as some dumb thought experiment. We all see 'different' colors, even if we all call them the same.
It goes like this: we call trees green. But I see what you'd consider to be orange, and Suzy there sees what you'd consider to be teal, and Jake over there sees them as being what you'd consider fluorescent pink. We all see different colors even if we call them the same name.
Actual science, and also 10 seconds of common fucking sense, tells you no, that's dumb. You only see 'different' colors if you are color blind to some extent, or you have the ultra rare case of an extra cone in your eye that opens more of the hidden spectrum.
>>43912937
Like pic related?
>>43912633
Qualia is what you're thinking of, and it's largely inconsequential despite being wholly plausible. You're mistaking actually seeing totally different mixtures of colours for what the general hypothesis of quails for visual senses would be like. All relative differences between the colours and shades would stay the same. It would be like if somebody took your vision and tweaked it to a random place on a hue slider in Photoshop, not like if somebody just colourswapped things with not rhyme or reason.
Also, As the other anon says, often times different societies with different languages distinguish colours with different parameters. The way we communicate determines what we perceive, as what we are communicating is based on what we behaviourally prioritize. If your society grew up in a forest that was almost wholly green, you're going to have lots of different words for things that are very similar shades of green, like "poison snake green" or "good fruit green," because you're going to need to be aware of the difference.
>>43912964
It's not actually seeing different colours. Your right, if you absorb 65 (abstract number not reflective of reality) photons into whatever cone cells, everyone can agree that that is, say, green. The problem is the divide between what is sensed and how it is processed. The image you form in your head is a representation of the raw data of your view, but how we determine what we represent green 65 as in our head seems mostly arbitrary, and thus could be anything as long as relatively speaking everything else in the spectrum also works with that.
And /tg/ does it again.

>your shadow talks to your colors

Leaves being green doesn't mean that the sun emit primarily green light. We see it as basically "white" light because it more or less emits basically the entire spectrum of visible light(and invisible). The green colour in plants leaves is because the photcentres absorb various frequencies of light to fuel the chemical reactions involved in photosynthesis, and essentially the "green" wavelenghts are "leftover".
Though the a lot of the light the sun emits is high enrgy so it's likely a lot "bluer" than we see. Plus I'm pretty sure our rods(or cones can never remember) are set up to see yellowey/reddish/greenish colours best

Was going to post this. Good work.
So there were actually two things regarding shadows I thought of before
One was, if you lose your shadow, sunlight doesn't burn or disintegrate you. You just fall through. There's nothing there to stop you anymore, after all. You fall through and become aa shadow yourself, or maybe you find a way to jump back, depensing on how things are on the other side. What do you think?
Also, I wondered before what it would be like for a shadow and a reflection to fall in love.
