Topic: How Do You Explain "Red" | |
---|---|
why would someone who is blind want to know what red looked like? instead i would tell them what something that was red looked like. thats how we all learned what red was. i would describe a rose. a stop sign. blood. the coca cola symbol. target things like that They would have no frame of refeence. Hmmmmmmmmmm....... |

if i told a blind person what red looked like
what would they do with that knowledge? they cannot feel red they cannot touch red they cannot sense red they cannot see red but they can feel, touch and sense everything else i said [they can touch a rose and a can of coke - they can walk in target - while in a car when they feel their body stopping they know they are at a stop sign and they can feel their blood]....and if i described it well enough they would then know those things were red and that would be stimulating beyond any means |

You dont explain it. They are blind, they dont need to beable to distinguish different colours.
Just tell them everything is black. |

It is said that when one loses a sense their other senses are more keen, who says they can't feel, smell, or hear a color? We can all see red and yet we can't describe it, so that means it gets interpreted differently by everyone.

Take away those 'colours' and FEEL them...they give a different form when FELT over seen. |

"Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain", 1973 details experiments with people 'feeling colors' rather than 'seeing' them.
