Hmph. Ever get that feeling...

If you are born blind, do you have any idea what color is? What something looks like? Can you even form images in your mind if you don't know what it is like to see? Wow I'm just confusing myself now haha.

Exactly what I was saying. It might be wrong to say, but I'd love to be in their head for just a minute, to see how they think.

Sometimes I wonder if everyone looks at things the same as I do. Or do some people have a different perspective in life?

Our eyes may be closed to the waking world, but they open upon another landscape.

(In relation to all the philosophy chat.)

I read that quote somewhere, and sometimes I think that's what happens when we go to sleep. We just don't remember it when we wake up.

Speaking of dreams, what are they really? Science tells us it's ideas in our heads, but what if it's not? What if it's a different complexer world beyond our physical one?

What if I (or from your perspective, you) were god?

I can answer that one (not meaning to sound like a know-it-all)
Some people are mentally incapable of being nice. Some people (like cereal killers) cannot have the mentality to think about helping and stuff.

But I do understand your question. If life is supposed to be fun, then why is it work? And if it's not supposed to be fun, then why did "God" (depending on your religion) give us life?



Exactly!



I saw The Miracle Worker play a week or two ago. It was phenomenal. It still puzzles me how she is able to communicate with Helen.




What is music? How did we come up with it? What makes it so amazing to humans that we value it?

Are we truly alone?

And WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THE TWILIGHT SERIES? Sorry had to.

No clue.. .-.

They're after the Froot Loops, HIDE!

Sorry, it was wrong but I can't help it. It's spelled serial killers.

HAHAHAHA!!! hide the mini wheats too!!!!!!

Another question I've thought of but it's kind of weird. What if not everyone sees colors the same way...I mean I'm sure their are slight differences for everyone but like idk what if blue looks like red to you but to everyone else it is really blue? That's just confusing and hard to understand.

 

[marypops!]

What would the world be like if colours had different names... Like instead of blue it's red, instead of red it's purple, instead of purple it's orange, instead of orange it's green, etc.

Would that mean the sky is red?

 

[StitchfansJr]

Why is it REALLY expensive to pay for a funeral even though you are mourning the fact that they are gone?

I dont understand that.
Its so expensive just for a casket...
I mean..
gosh.

Good question. I wonder about that too

 

[marypops!]

Who thought it was a good idea to drink what came from a cow's udder?
Who thought it was a good idea to eat an egg which had come out of a chicken's nether reigons?

 

[sallskellington]

weeeeeeeiiiiiiirrrrrrrdddd. never thought of that!!

Are you my mother? ANYTIME we talk philosophy she explains this color theory to me. That everyone sees colors differently. I finally understood, but it confuses me to think about it again.

I'll ask this again...

Why, when you think about philosophy, does your mind suddenly go blank. Not blank blank, you just can't think about correctly. UGH.

I haven't looked through the whole thread, but....

Why is it when I close my eyes, I don't see black? I have to try especially hard to see black. I always see something that I'm thinking of in my mind or just nothing...
So, I'll close my eyes right now.
It's not black...
Gr, I can't explain it...

I know what you're saying. Same with me.

I usually see what I just closed my eyes of. Like now I'm staring at this screen, and when I close my eyes I still see the screen.

Does anyone just have full on discussions when nobody else is in the room? I've been thinking about how I'd be different as a teacher, and I just finished rattling off some speech I'd give my kids on the first day of class. Weird? Yes.

Sometimes when I'm cooking I pretend I'm on the food network.

Yes, in my mind I do all the time. Although when I'm home alone I'll just randomly start talking about something.
Sometimes I'll act like I'm on food network, but I don't cook often so...

I know what you're saying. Same with me.

Good, because I can't really explain it.
I mean I see black when I cover my eyes with my hands of course but when I just close my eyes it's like nothing.

YES! I have full discussions with myself all the time, in the shower, in the car, it's weird.

Sorry bumping this thread up, I DON'T WANNA LET IT DIE

but OMG YES! I randomly talk to myself, and I usually can make myself laugh.

It's like I'm my own best friend

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Why do we all feel like we just dont have enough, so we keep working and working and are never satisfied?


As words of someone "Love the one your with"


Hah.
I had to.
Me sorry.

Thank you for bumpin this thread.

I used to think about that ALL the time.
The color theory, I mean.
But my psychology teacher said that there's all this research that disproves it.
I mean, if everyone sees red and pink differently, how does everyone agree that their hues are similar to one another?

And yeah, my mind doesn't go blank, it just all gets kinda..jumbled?

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

When you start thinking about breathing and blinking..does it mess up?

Is that what you meaN?

because
that happens ALL THE TIME.

Example. I will watch someone else blink and start FREAKING OUT because I forgot how to blink..xD
or..
I will be sitting with my kitty on my stomach..and feel her breath..and immediately start trying to breath like her..

Its weird stuff..
