The Truth

Is almost always

Some version

Of a larger truth

Or no truth at all

Merely perceptions

Based on various

Timely indoctrinations

If you learn that

The color red is red, then

You accept that as red

Yet, if you were presented

A scaled color palette

Of which red is “red”

Compared it to other’s

Understanding of “red”

It would probably differ

Even if one pixel or pigment

Was classified by “authority”

As the one and only true “red”


I know, I’ll ask “artificial intelligence.”


What is the color red?

“Red is a color—specifically one of the primary colors in light and art. It sits at the long-wavelength end of the visible spectrum (around 620–750 nanometers), which is why it appears bold and vivid to our eyes.”

– AI

Great, anything else?

“Physics

Red is light with a relatively long wavelength in the visible spectrum.

That means when light in roughly that range reaches your eyes, your brain interprets it as “red.”

Biology

Your retina contains cone cells that respond to different ranges of light. Red strongly stimulates the “long-wavelength” cones (often called L-cones), and the brain combines those signals into the experience of redness.

Psychology

Red tends to grab human attention quickly. It is commonly associated with:

danger
urgency
passion
warmth
power

That’s why stop signs, warning lights, hearts, and sports cars are often red.

Culture

Different cultures attach different meanings to red:

In many Western contexts: love, warning, intensity
In parts of Asia: luck, celebration, prosperity
In religion and mythology: sacrifice, vitality, life force, or royalty

Philosophy

Some philosophers use red as an example of a qualia — the private inner feeling of experience.”

– AI

Finally, a point to make my useless point

“You can measure wavelengths scientifically, but the actual experience of “what red looks like” exists only in consciousness.

Even if two people both call something “red,” we can not directly prove they internally experience it the exact same way.”

– AI

It is if AI was reading my prepared post.

So that I may “know” the “truth”

Still, it presented back

Nothing representing “red”




“All of that
Which has reality
Has no basis
In reality, “
