Taste



I have a theory, which would explain full difference in tastes. It's quite hard to explain in words, so I'll do my best.

What if people, simply see different colours?
I mean, if I say the grass is green, I'm pretty sure you'd agree with me. Likewise, if I said the sky is blue. (think of a midsummer day here!)

But, what if you simply see a different colour. What if, the colour blue (sky) to me, is the colour you see when you look at grass?
It would mean, you'd see a totally different colour than me. It would also explain, why people would like and dislike different clothing, cars, and so on. Colourdifference. Of course, this could also be the same with food and drinks.
All we know is, that a certain, undetermined colour, has always been called green. If I say the grass is green. You'd agree, no matter what colour you actually see.
All this, because since you were little, people told you, grass IS green. No matter what colour you saw, wether it was red, or yellow, or blue, the grass was GREEN.

So, eventhough people might be looking at the same grass, the colours could be quite different.
Eventhough people might be eating the same food, the taste could be quite different.
Eventhough people are smelling the same flower, the scent could be quite different.

It explains it all...
Maybe there really isn't any difference in...

2010-04-27 [Sinchao]: Technically speaking, that could just mean your eyes see the colour 'green' as a shade of 'grey'. ;D

But yeah.

2010-04-27 [Alexi Ice]: Actually there are differnt types of colorblind, I can't tell the differnce between shades of red or purple and some dark greens. It's kind of annoying. But I'm sure the sky is blue. And maybe the grass is green...ish....

2010-04-30 [Sinchao]: ...

The similarities strike again! I have trouble with:
-Blue, Purple and Black
-Brown and green
-Bright Green and Yellow
-Pink and Light Purple

Stuff like that. I can't really tell which is which, and depending on which eye I close, the colours always change for me :P

2010-04-30 [Alexi Ice]: Hahaha, yep. Doesn't help that my left side is dominate in just about everything, including it's sight
