if two people can both point to red and agree that it's red, that's close enough. anything beyond that is just pointless esoteric debate.

I disagree that it's pointless. I think it may be beneficial to humanity (eventually) to establish whether or not there is an objective reality which we all experience.

i agree, but that's a job for neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and psychology; not a pack of dorks on the fediverse.

it's more in the philosophy ballpark, which shapes the interpretration of methodology and the consequences, in my humble opinion.

But what if the dorks on the fediverse are scientists?

[–] Guns0rWeD13@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

then by all means

But I want to contribute to humanity in a meaningful way!

-me, a dork on the Fediverse nearly incapable of contributing to humanity in a meaninful way

Hey now, you could be the person to force manufacturers to add a new type of warning label to random products!

Some people see numbers instead/along with colors, and different people see different numbers, so I guess the colors might be different between people too

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

I would be way more surprised if people who saw numbers with colors all saw the same numbers.
