Wasted….

When I was young, I thought that colour blind meant that you see everything in black and white… like dogs
Dogs see everything in black and white?

Yup, I think so
So they see the world in some sort of French new wave sixties cinema type of shenanigan?
I guess....
So......how do people find out they’re colour blind?
Well...... I suppose someone says “that’s red” and then the other person says “no.... it’s blue” and the first person says “dude, that’s red, you’re either really stoned.....or colour blind...”
No way – if you’re born colour blind then red is red… even though it’s blue

Eh?
Look.... someone teaches you the name for the colour..... so if you don’t know what red looks like..... then red is red..... even though it’s blue
Eh?
Look.... that there.... is a car, right?
.....right
And you know that coz I just told you.... right?
Well…..
...In the example that you didn’t know what a car was..... and I told you
Ok

So..... you don’t know what the colour red is called
Well ok - Uh uh.....
....and I tell you its red.... so that’s what you know
Ok
Even though you see it’s blue
What?
If you don’t know any different
But.... it’s blue?

Yeah, I know it’s fucking blue.... but the NAME is red to you
Look dude, blue is blue.... red is red.... that’s all I know
.....and if you were fucking colour blind from birth, it could be the opposite and you wouldn’t know any different.... OK?
Eh?
