Ok, granted, not everyone sees color the same way and yes, color is created in the brain. But the wavelengths of light that produce a certain color is a physical property of the light. That's why everyone who isn't color blind can say "red and blue make purple". If our perception of mixed colors are purely a function of our mind and had no physical basis, the color wheel wouldn't make sense to everyone the same way. One person would see red and blue mixed together to make green while another would see it make purple. So the mixing of colors does have objective physical properties, which are then translated into color (qualia) later. So your nihilism regarding understanding how colors mix is misplaced.

also, there are colors that humans can see that don't exist on the normal spectrum -- i.e. Pink.

hm, color is one of the prime examples of what a qualia is, though.

[pharmakos]

i usually don't get open-eyed visuals from psychedelics. if i do they tend to be very light.

i think its from my years of dissociative abuse -- i once read a research paper about how dissociative tolerance can cause changes in the qualitative effects of 5HT-2A agonists. something about downstream gluataminergic effects and changes in receptor expression, idk.

i definitely still can trip pretty hard, though, but the effects are mostly mental and auditory.

This last one is a repeat but I just love it so much so I will post it again

why is the modern slang "i took a drug"?

does "took" as a synonym for "consumed" go back to theft?
