20. How is it that allegedly intelligent people
could believe such an experiment actually meant something???

but speaking of colors....

as I was growing up I was always wondered if everyone actually saw the same colors as everyone else. You were shown an object and told what color it was. Your friend was shown the same object and told what color it was. But did we really know that we both saw the same thing? I thought it entirely possible that the color I saw might very well be different than the color the next person saw. So I'd always try to imagine what a view would look like substituting one color for another because that might be how someone else saw it.

Now you know....I've actually been sortof nutso all my life...it's not just a recent thing.
