philosophical debate - your opinion?

Question

i have my views what are your's - a blind, deaf and dumb person is locked in a empty room all their life, regardless of informalities like needing food. does this person percive things have thoughts or see things in their mind. does it have the concept of colour hunger pain love lust etc. how will it ever communicate. (please no pinball wizzard jokes).

2. look at your table, describe it. is it really how you see it, whats the colour of this tables, the shade, are you sure go to another angle the light shines differently so it appears a different colour correct, how do you know its a table if i sit on it doesn't it make it a chair or working on a chair does it make it a table. whats the texture you may say smooth yet a microscope will prove it to be rough.

3. why do we have noses that run and feet that smell

4. do you exist, what do you exist at, are you sure, is what you experience reality, or is anything as it really seems

5. do i exist, or am i a mellicant demon fooling u

Answer 1

2. i am partially colorblind, i see color, but apparently diff. colors from what i am supposed to perceive, does this mean that what is blue to me and purple to you is debatable, i say yes, my perception is different from yours, therefore my reality is different from yours. So then, are there any universal truths? Cartesian doubt has plagued every semi-intelligent person at some point, and rightfully so, I guess thats why they made The Matrix, and more importantly, that is the point of philosophy. The only answers to your questions are the ones that work for you, so long as you continue to question and challenge your beliefs. And, so long as your beliefs don't physically interfere with mine.

Answer 2

1. i believe we come from someplace and get born in this life, then we move on to something else when our time here is done, if you look into a newborns eyes, with an open mind, you dont see a "blank slate", but thoughts and knowledge, so i would imagine that a person in the conditions you describe would have all those emotions running threw them, though they may at some point tune them out
2. names of things are just that, we dont even have to call a chair a chair, or a table a table, someplace sometime someone thought the name up, and others said, "yep that sounds like a good name" so yes, things can seem different depending on our viewpoint, we use words to be able to communicate with others, the words theirselves have no real meaning
3. our feet also can run and our noses smell
4. yes i do, what i experience is my reality, it might not be anyone elses, once again, there we go with words, for some reason we have thought up that reality is one concrete thing, that doesnt change person to person
5. even if a demon, then yes, you do,

1. If an advanced soul chose to incarnate into such an experience - for the sheer challenge of it (perhaps having a passionate interest in being vs. perception) - the result would be entirely different than a new soul who would only perceive body-level hunger and lust (hormones), reacting defensively to the environment to keep the organism alive.

2. Pointless task unless your ego's perceptual and thought system is at an imbecilic level - which could not be the case or you wouldn't be able to conceptualize applying your mind in this way.

3. You must be a precocious two year old.

4. I exist 'in a body' reading the question, because I am AWARE of observing my responses to the question and deliberately choosing my reaction. Reality is the holographic 3D experience/effect I have caused.

5. The 'parts' (programmed demons) of my defensive ego identity that have caused me to previously misperceive my relationship to "the Real" no longer exist. They have been exorcised; pulled out by the roots; brought into conscious awareness and forced over the cliff like the "legion of worthless pigs" metaphor.

Answer 4

Fantastic question - your asking fundamental questions about the nature of senses, and thus physical realities.

There would be no question about matter of sight, sound or speech because they have never experianced them before. This includes no sense of colours.

But what they would feel is all of the emotions we would normaly feel, except for lust - you can't see or hear anyone.

The matter of what is real or not would probably come from the connection into their psychie, and not make conclusions from smell or touch alone. Those senses would be intertwinned into their reality of the mind.
