Is it possible that no human what so ever is alike at the basic levels?
Every human brain seems to resemble the other, but what is it if it’s not that similar as we might think?
What if every individual sees completely different things then the other?
What if we hear completely different things?
What would I perceive if I could take your brain keep my memory and just having it wired like yours, would the sound and all other inputs feel hear or look the same?
Imagine this; a person grows up accustom to their hearing. His sound input to the brain “in reality” is reversed how would he perceive sound? That person would grow up with that hearing and never even notice anything, because it is the only reality they know, and no one else would ever notice or could ever prove it, because that person would turn right when he has an input to the left but he has learned that the sound comes from the right, and this will never be obvious to him in any way nor can it be proven because the person reacts to the sound as any other would.
What does this mean?
Another example is;
Do we feel the same feeling though we use the same words?
Do we feel the exact same thing?
Do we see the same colors?
In my opinion that statement would be the dumbest thing I have heard, why?
Because feelings are nothing but what the brain perceives, my feeling can in no way feel the same as yours, it’s just not possible because you can never tell nor explain it properly its nothing we can say through mere words, you can say “I feel sad” and everyone will understand what you mean, even if the feeling feels different from yours it’s the feeling I get when I am “sad” that I relate to, not the feel of it itself.
Another example would be;
The colors you perceive can never be the same as what I see, because we have two completely different brains. Colors don’t actually exist they are a tool we use to be able to distinguish different wavelengths, it helps us see well. Therefore mine and your colors have no need to be the same; they just have to be distinguishable from each other. That means you can see colors I can never imagine, and so can I. Green for example just has a wavelength that is different from red and therefore I can see the difference between red and green, and we would call it red even though the color is completely different than what I see. That means we see the same difference in colors, but we perceive them completely differently.
This then concludes that our brain is abstract, me and you are two of the same species and biologically we are quite similar, even though we do NEVER “see” or “feel” the same thing. Those are just words we use to describe them, even though they never in the basics are the same thing, their look, feel and taste differ from observer to observer.
How can I come to this conclusion?
Words are defined by the difference between the signals our brain receives;
Imagine you had a hundred people, isolate them together and raise them with calling the color we perceive as green to red. They will never ever, ever find out that the color they call green is really red, they are only words a compilation of sounds, and as I stated they will never call it differently as long as they aren’t influenced by someone else. Therefore how can I ever trust you that you see the same thing as I do?
This will then also mean that we are abstract beings defining our knowledge by what the difference between things are, it all depends on the observers brain & consciousness.
Why?
Have you heard the fraise; “it’s like describing colors to a blind born man”.
Why is it an impossible task?
It is because they have no memory to base the names on. They have never seen the difference between blue, red and green. They are words, and you actually never send information with your words, you trigger a complex process to trigger their memories and let them generate the information; they then develop and create the information within their brain.
I once saw this documentary about a man who had lost his sight when he was very young; recently the doctors gave him his sights back.
Does he see the same thing as me and you?
Yes and no, he saw what we called a shadow, but did not understand it, he knows nothing about seeing, he didn’t know the difference between 1or 100 meters. He could not understand compare or decide what was what; this goes to prove that we base everything on comparison between different things that lie within our memory, so we never learn we actually use the information we get to generate the information based on what we know, and then project it to understand and implement it. (You see light, but you put it together and process it in your brain, and your consciousness perceives a car).
And therefore my definition is:
It is completely possible, and scientifically correct of me to say; everything I perceive is a complete illusion created by my brain, you are nothing but my consciousness, though I can’t say that this world and you aren’t real, because the word would defy its meaning. For me you are a part of the only reality that I know of, I am not saying I created you, my brain did, but you are perceived by me and therefore a part of my consciousness.
Then the age old question pops up in everyone’s head:
What are we?
I perceive the world as a collection of individual consciousness’s all perceiving different things but calling them the same, we are the collection of beings that only commune through words and our senses, therefore we only communicate by whatever means trigger our memories this causes us to generate the reality of what our consciousness believes. Our eyes and ears never lie, our conciseness might.
All this text for nothing?
(is it not interesting?)
It also means that the brain is just fabulous, it proves that the input the brain gets right after you are born bears no meaning, because you will always adapt to whatever input you get. You basically start with a brain that is so simple and build upon it, to create the most powerful tool of them all.
Can anyone tell me I am wrong?
I am not bragging Im just thinking of it alot, I would love for somone to tell me I am wrong, because it feels wierd that there is such a gap between two people.
