So everything looks like a really old flashback to you then, right?

No, you're infected with Caucasiarobia. You must have fucked a white woman without a condom.
[QUOTE=:. :: :.;20128556]OP did you ask me this today? lol some guy asked me at school today the same exact question. weird.[/QUOTE]
Yes. I am also watching you now out your window reply to this thread.
Yep, its possible to explain a color to a blind man.
They just won't understand it :P
I'm getting lasik next year, i'll take pics.
It's like everyone in this thread doesn't understand that not all blind people are absolutely 100% blind.
My neighbor is extremely blind and yet she still sees silhouettes.

i dunno, old flashbacks look normal to me
That's weird. I was playing Mass Effect and was at the exact same point as you at the same time.
I dont know about the color thing though.
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;20122684]You won't have a problem explaining black to them.
Well, if you do count that as a colour.[/QUOTE]
I heard that blind people see various static colors and not black.
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;20122922]They will never get it.[/QUOTE]
Dude, that made me laugh out loud. wtf
Invent a new color.
Ive wondered before, what is it like for a blind person to take psychedelics like LSD? It seems to me like itd be fucking amazing when youre blind, maybe itd allow you to see color becaue of the closed eye visuals. Sure you could say, "Well theyve never seen color so how can they hallucinate it", but colors are something programmed into your brain, if they werent, everything would be gray. So regardless of your ability to see, I think youd be able to hallucinate colors behind your eyes.
[QUOTE=Bran;20132177]i dunno, old flashbacks look normal to me[/QUOTE]
So your flashbacks have color?
YOu can explain the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the sun is yellow, but in the end they'll never know what yellow blue and green are. just that certain things are and others aren't
I have no idea to the question about blind people and color.
However. To those talking about if we see the same color or not. We do and here is why
I you take yellow for example. I can say this yellow is bright. And if you saw green but called it yellow it wouldn't be bright... Cuz green isn't bright like I'd explain it. Same for dark. Also. Dark = black for everyone. Black is indeed a color. Therefore we all see black as the same. Our mind wouldn't share the color of black but have different views of green or red. It just doesn't work that way. The brain likes pattern and consistency ;P
Easy
Hello blind person everything is black forever the end.
see? easy.
[QUOTE=lol12;20130350]How the fuck do you type, read, and know what to do on a computer? How do you know where to move the mouse for th text to speech?[/QUOTE]
Anyone can learn to touch type. I place my fingers on the board relevant to the notches on the F and J key.
The mouse operation I barely use. The icon size is the lagest on the desktop, and I know Firefox is in the top left, microsoft word on the top right, IRC on bottom left. I know the taskbar is at the bottom so I compensate for that, it's not hard to go all the way left and down, then a tiny bit up to get IRC open.
After that it's all keyboard shortcuts.
Not really... They have no use of their eyes, if they become blind overnight/in sleep, they should know what color is though.

But over time they do forget.
[QUOTE=BlackBirdNL;20124869]We do, else you'll be colourblind. That's why they fail at those tests.[/QUOTE]
You completely missed the point of what he was trying to say.
I used to listen to a radio show on the internet done by a blind guy, he wasn't always blind but ended up getting in a fight or something and I guess the dude sprayed cleaner or something in his eyes. They were trying to ask him (the blind guy) the same thing, and also like "so you're blind, what do you see?"
he said that he remembers colors and shit and now because hes blind he doesnt really see anything, it was hard for him to describe and all he could say was "I dont see anything, not darkness, black, or any of that, theres just nothing there"- he couldn't explain it well but likened it to if you didnt have a hand or if you had a loss of your limb, if you would try to move it- there would just be nothing there, the brain has no impulses to move to that, so because your blind, your brain no longer sends impulses to your eyes to decode vision or colors or anything like that, its just nothing.
I thought it was pretty cool, he said he doesn't use a monitor for his computer either, he just has the tower, keyboard and mouse along with a program that "speaks" to him and lets him know what hes doing, but according to him he hated it because it wasn't good at all.

Also its not the same thing, but im colorblind.
It's really weird because I can tell what color something is by how dark it is (to me, a red would be darker than white but not as dark as black)- I know what color it is and I can see it but my brain gets scrambled when my mind tries to "process" it, I cant tell red from pink, green from brown, orange from yellow or blue from purple, I know what color purple is and I can tell if somethings purple because to me, purple is a bit lighter than blue, but because its lighter than blue, my brain says "okay so you think this is purple, how do you know its not pink?" and its all downhill from there.
It aint so bad, its just a bit of a challenge, but it is kind of embarassing when you make a mistake and someone would go "WHY CANT YOU TELL THIS COLOR MAN" and you have to explain it to them.
It's really really hard to describe, but the easiest way to describe it would be to look at a color, and now imagine that even though YOU KNOW what it is, your brain just doesn't process that color set.
As for the guy who is "completely colorblind" and can only see things in grayscale, I dont think you're colorblind dude. :/
another way to describe it would be, you have a book in english, you know the book was written in english but instead of seeing words in english, you see the words and letters and stuff in spanish.

But we're talking about 100% blind people, not partially sighted people...
Also, imagine you have three eyes, one of which is on the palm of your hand, it's impossible to imagine what that would feel/look like to you.
[QUOTE=Vince323;20123069]This reminds me of those threads about if people saw colours differently, IE my blue is different from your blue, but we call them both blue.
:psyduck:[/QUOTE]
Logicly that's impossible.
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;20122684]You won't have a problem explaining black to them.
Well, if you do count that as a colour.[/QUOTE]
Black isn't a colour
[QUOTE=AimlessGiant;20122873]I imagine someone who has been blind all of their life can't visually dream because they have no idea what things look like. But people who have went blind can dream visually because they have memories of what things look like.[/QUOTE]
Well people who where blind all there life will still have an imagination but of what :unsmigghh:
[QUOTE=i-am-teh-sex;20136292]Well people who where blind all there life will still have an imagination but of what :unsmigghh:[/QUOTE]
feelings. As in physically.
Read through the thread.
[QUOTE=rathat48;20127637]No, they do see black. There eye for some reason does not sense light, If you close your eyes and cover them, you do not sense light. Same thing, they see black.[/QUOTE]
because you've been blind
[editline]08:59AM[/editline]
also jsharpe stop trying to make people feel sorry for you
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;20125009]So they see nothing. No colour at all. Not even black.
My mind just exploded man.[/QUOTE]
I've always wondered how that works. Being someone who has had sight from birth I can't even begin to comprehend how one CAN'T have any sense of vision at all.
I mean it seems inherently obvious, they simply... don't see... at all... but when I actually think about it it confuses me. If it were reversible I'd like to have my visual cortex completely 'switched off' to get a sense of how that works. In fact, I'd like to have ALL of my senses switched off temporarily to see what happens to me (obviously not literally see, but... you get what I mean).
It would be possible if that person hasn't been blind his/her entire life. But for someone who has been blind since birth, it seems impossible.
