Klinko: “Sorry, but nobody can describe in Human Language what their Conscious Sensory Experiences Feel Like. If someone was Red Color Blind there would be no Words you could say that would describe or Explain what your Experience of Redness was like. If someone had never felt Pain you would not be able to describe your Experience of Pain to them. These Conscious Experiences exist only in the Mind. The Mind can Experience these things without any attachment to the Words of a language.”
TimB: I have a pain in my neck. It is an intermittent and intense, sharp pain that can happen and be momentarily excruciating if I turn my head just slightly. It feels as tho one of the muscles in my neck spasms, and persists until I can turn my neck slightly to find a point where the pain subsides. Oh my, did I just do the impossible and describe a conscious experience of mine?
Yes, there are some awareness behaviors that do not require words of language. But if you have no word for the “experience”, is it just a blur? If you can’t describe the “experience” or even name it, how do you retain it in consciousness? That we do not seem to have much memory ability prior to 4 years of age, seems quite significant to me, since we also do not have relatively complex verbal behavior before age 4. What I am suggesting is that our complex verbal behavior abilities help us bring information to conscious awareness and to sustain our conscious awareness of given stimulus situations.
On the shoe color, I see teal and gray also. If it is not a scam, some of us, should see the pink and white version without manipulating the pic.
