The Final Pathetic Bleatings of the Forum



Question:
I humbly request the wisdom of Nietzsche

When I am walking outside, I notice that the skies are blue,
clouds are white,
grass is green, that sort of thing. To me, the colors that
I see are what I
know them to be. I wonder, are the colors I see really the
color they see
or are the two colors different but we call them by the same
name because
that is the name we associate with the colors we see?

The pair of hands, as a metonymic reference of whoever owns it, universalizes the particular. On the other hand, whatever the hands hold, it particularizes the universal.

What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself.

If thou hadst been born blind, thou mightest as well have known all our names as thus to name the several colours we do wear. Sight may distinguish of colours, but suddenly to nominate them all, it is impossible.

Depends on the size of your colormap

I like the pretty colors.

In the Collective, all colours are the same.
