Technically, all the colors are fake. They're just the halucinations of a brain trying to understand the input from sensory organs.
That doesn't make them fake, in the same way that x can mean 2. You are merely representing a given value (in this case light within a certain electromagnetic spectrum) in a useful way.
But is my red the same as your red? Hmmm?
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.
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
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?
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
buy guns
Working on it.
It was a joke?
hahaha?
Ehehehe
I hadn't thought about it that way.
