This thread needs more bacon in it.

I was wondering who that random tell was from lmao.

Yeah just got my final hands piece today. THANKS EVERYONE I LOVE YOU!

That is pretty much the crux of the argument though.

Your analogy to babies is not without research evidence. As I mentioned in a one of my posts previously, babies' performance in oddball colour studies does suggest that they respond to actual differences in colour, i.e. its wavelength. However, after and beyond 2-4 months of age, for some reason that perception changes. People no longer respond to colours based on their actual appearance alone. Now we have a problem about whether actually assigning it a name has altered our interpretation of these colours or whether we're actually seeing colours as they really are.

Differences in "colour vision" appear globally, e.g. Africans' "grue", Koreans' "yellow", etc. They would swear blindly that our colour perception is completely wrong and/or different to ours, assuming we could communicate in equivalent terms with them; after all, some languages do not even have a word for "colour".

Now, there may be actual, quantitative differences of light wavelength which produces subjectively different colour experiences. However, the webpage you sited approaches colour in the English language. The inherent epistemology of organising colour in the way they have presented is not globally sound; it is not generalisable.

The point is we can never really know what the actual structure of what we're seeing is what we're seeing, because it's muddied by language -- the way in which we simultaneously label these colours and communicate them to others -- and the very possibility that learning a language has moulded the way we see things anyway.

Studies with babies could be a very good indication that there are pre-language "labelling" abilities, but thus far it can only be elicited using comparison tasks between categories. Babies get bored of looking at the "green" category after a while, despite each one being what we might say would be physically different from the rest. But we're using this colour system we know to prove the colour system we know, which one may argue is circular logic.

Modern day methods and ways of thinking, I believe, tend to over-aggrandise the empiricist, scientific basis of doing things. I too think there must be something physically different about colour on the wavelength level, but I also argue how can we actually know this. And know it definitely.

In essence, we're saying the same thing, except you're approaching it from a cognitive load perspective and I'm thinking more ontologically. :P

I think I need a coffee.

10k is full of 10,000 surprises!

Now then, let's turn it up a notch. People are all up camping the My hovercraft is full of eels NM, and his ToD is far too... predictable.

So, everyone go to your posts-per-page drop-down menu, close your eyes, and click one of the choices. Try not to click something weird; there are no insurance policies if you do.

Now then...

WHO WILL CLAIM THE CLAIM NOW?! AND FOR WHOM?! :D

And there are no rules to 10,000 pages, but its pretty fail to page claim after your own post. The rule comes from when I had contests for reaching benchmark pages in the original 100 pages (page 69 and 100). If you claimed a page before page 69 or 100 you got a gil bonus, to the bonus prize if you claimed page 69 or 100 (69 was 69k, 100 was 100k. I think the bonus was 10k a page if you claimed it in addition). If you posted the last post on a page, and then claimed the next page, it voided your page claim and you didn't get the bonus. It did encourage people to post more though.

I hadn't noticed that... Maybe in the coming update we will be able to equip gear that our subjob can use, but at half stats!!

Hows that for wild, rediculous speculation?

Perhaps it's a magic carpet of bacon.

You been hurt by bacon before?

When it spits hot oil in your face... not so nice!

I was camping once and we needed to get rid of the bacon grease, so my friend dumped the grease into a wax paper cup. Luckily he was wearing gloves, but the **** melted right out of his hand. Good times.
