Did you read the article?
I would still differenciate between: "Does the brain map the Physical World to custom signals, or will it add something to it, because its not possible to see both"
Edit: I meant spectral color and nonspectral color.
There is still a meaningful distinction between spectral and non-spectral colors as far as I (a non-scientist) is concerned: what one is saying is "this is my perception of a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation" and non-spectral colors are "this is my perception of some kind of weird interference between opposing colors or a bizarre trick of the brain or whatever". Color as such is still a purely mental phenomenon but what instigates that phenomenon can be different.
Of course I didn't half my time on lemmy is small bursts while I'm at work
If you didn't read the article, then don't leave a top-level comment.
How is it my fault if it's top level?
Because you are responding to the post itself without reading the post. You have nothing to add if you're fundamentally ignorant of what the source is. You may have something meaningful to add in response to another comment, but this is no different than saying "I didn't watch this movie, but here's what I think!' or not doing the reading in a book club and just showing up to throw out random conjecture.
Because you commented on the post directly rather than replying to another comment? Do you think top level means it got upvoted or something?
ya I'd think "top level" would be more upvoted than most but I think there weren't any other comments at the time
