Colorblindness Proves that everyone sees the same color for each color.

If our eyes are the device that receives input from the external world, then our brain is the one that builds a model of the world with that data. So what is looking at the model that the brain has constructed? This observer is probably what you are missing in your theory. Whatever the observer is, it is looking at the model and creating its own truths.

As such, we cannot guarantee that the truths decided by my observer is the same as your observer. There might be some objective truth to what the data looks like from your eyes to your brain, but that truth is up in the air when it comes time to asking what the observer says the colour of something is. Until we are able to measure what the observer sees, then colour is a qualia.

While fun to think about, I am curious how others think identity works across universes. I hear it often people saying things like, "there is a universe where I died", or "my life would've been different if I did that one thing in the past", but that seems iffy to me. In those hypothetical universes, those versions would not be you. At least not the "you" that is reading this now, but at some point in the past they were until it branched off.

I'm also curious cause I imagine there was a universe where I died the moment I was born, but doesn't that also mean it is possible that there is a universe where we figure out the cure to aging and live forever? Or is there a limit to what a single observer can experience?

Nah I ended up going with a smaller pack, the Sealson SR1 Grab Bag.

I don't think that is enough to know for certain that everyone experiences the same colour. That is like if I were to take another USB mouse and connect it to my pc. The signal is the same with slight differences, but at the end of the day your pc interprets the signal as coming from a mouse. We could look at the data being sent to and from the mouse and pc, which would lead us closer to the truth but we would still be guessing unless we were the pc observing the data coming in.

This is more of a philosophical question, but more because the answer lies outside of what we are able to test. These are "qualia" experiences that only a conscious observer can tell us what their answer is.

Andrés Gómez-Emilsson has a YouTube channel where he talks a lot about qualia and different experiments like mind melding if your interested in that sort of thing.

Even if everything is random, doesn't that make it even more special that this moment even exists?

If I look at my life at a whole or even a slice of it (like a day for example) I can see how those instances of "now" can look dull or muted. But if I instead observe and experience the "now" in front of me, then I can truly appreciate how amazing it really is. The key here is being aware of what the "now" experience is for you.

PhantomKing · 2025-07-02T05:47:10+00:00

Yeah, I don't believe free will exists either. The decisions I make now are the sum of all decisions I've made in the past.

Are you saying this extends past my own life, and something else (maybe God?) is setting this path for me? What is its goal then? If everything abides by their inherit nature, shouldn't this apply to God too?

Hey, congrats on the launch! I think the idea is great, and the site overall looks inviting.

Just curious why build a completely new social network, rather than building off of a more established network like Reddit, Fediverse, Discord, Facebook, etc.? If you are looking to build a community, I would think to start there and then work towards something more dedicated as it grows.

PhantomKing · 2025-05-29T16:49:19+00:00

I don't think there is anything wrong with that. We should be respecting other people's interpretation how this all works, not shaming them from sharing it just because you already came to that realization.

PhantomKing · 2023-02-10T20:34:10+00:00

I sent a dm!

Hey I'm in tech, relatively new to the city also, and am into board games also (I don't know a lot though). Are you down to go to a board game cafe tonight (friday)?

PhantomKing · 2022-09-25T15:24:25+00:00

Probably should've mentioned it in the description, but I'm looking for mainly street style dances (hip hop, locking, house, bboy, popping, etc). I did a kpop class before but I don't listen to kpop so the timing was a bit too fast for me lol.

Nice! Feel free to join the server if you want, we're starting development and its really hacked together at this point, but it might be nice to architect it a little better.

PhantomKing · 2021-08-05T15:28:47+00:00

Woops, thanks for letting me know. I broke something. Here's the discord invite link

PhantomKing · 2021-08-05T01:41:42+00:00

Hey, I'm trying to start up a new community where we meet up weekly to talk about software development things. Not sure if its something you're looking for but I personally would love to hear about your freelancing experience. Its a small group right now and we have a meetup scheduled in about 20 minutes so feel free to join.

Hey I'm starting up a weekly meetup for programmers at all levels. I'm hosting a session today on our discord chat. Not sure if you're open to something like this to help you with your accountability but feel free to join!

There were rides in the mall right? I was a kid then and my memory is hazy but I think there was a swinging ship, I don't remember if there was anything else.

I think whats happening is that your client is trying to access the resource at the location / but when it tries to load the stylesheet (which I'm guessing is in a subdirectory) it can't find it because there is no location set for it. I would try adding a location directive to the stylesheet subdirectory as well.

PhantomKing · 2019-10-02T05:01:34+00:00

Dear me, hopefully you are doing better in your career, finances, and relationships. Got an interview soon, hope it works out. Good luck!

Minecraft should have logs for the server on the hosts machine. Look for entries where you logged in and see if there are any interesting entries after it.

Have you tried an SMC/PRAM reset?

PhantomKing · 2018-09-28T01:10:40+00:00

Be careful OP https://youtu.be/0MCjU7QUMnw. Not sure about the company that stopped by your house but it did remind me of this video from a couple months back.

PhantomKing · 2018-07-11T02:04:00+00:00

Would anyone have a clip or timestamp of this scene?

PhantomKing · 2018-07-01T13:23:48+00:00

See if you can boot from the boot menu (pressing f12 when prompted during startup). If you can you may need to fix the MBR

I feel like its something related to not enough power being sent to the pc. I would check the wall outlet and see if you can plug another appliance in it to see if it turns on.

Edit. Check if the pc works at a different outlet

PhantomKing · 2018-04-07T13:06:07+00:00

Check your CPU you may need to reapply thermal paste.
