This thief goes for a fruit that hangs so low it's more of a root vegetable.

interesting short film. but how did the creator know if a blind person knows what colors are?

How can you explain to a blind person what colors are?

#2 You can't. You can't explain what red is to me either. We both know what color it is but so far, in the whole human history, no one has been able to explain colors with only words.

It's a great challenge actually, one that has brilliant minds thinking about as we speak. How can you explain senses to a species that hasn't got the same set than we do? Explain taste, smell, anything of that nature with only words, i dare you: maybe you find away, that would extend and develop our linguistic skills immensely, it would be completely new kind of information sharing tool.

Just imagine telling others how you feel and they would got it perfectly or getting to experience other peoples inner universe, see things thru their eyes... Would solve a lot of conflicts in this world, don't you think?

#2 This movie would be kind of dull without colors though.

#3 makes a great point. Words are not accurate. When i say red and point to a red square on a piece of paper that you and i are both looking at we might both see the same red square and both call it red but in your mind you might actually be seeing it as how i see blue. We just don't know, This also relates to mental schema which is why I believe sometimes we feel like we are on the same "wavelength" as others. a schema is a set of memory associations for a particular topic. eg Cereal. When you hear/read the word cereal you will have some memories associated with that word. I may picture cornflakes in a box where as your first thought might be lucky charms or something. Perhaps we get that sense of understanding when we share a similar schema with someone. This is really just the tip of the iceberg of the problem. Its very interesting area of philosophy and psychology closely related to what is known as the other minds. This is the premise that we don't know what experience is like for other people and it may be completely different to our own. The same way in which blind people can't comprehend colour even though really we don't actually comprehend it ourselves for sure. Hmm interesting...

#3 & #5 thanks for the input.

I love this kinds of topic. It's like you when try to explain 'pain' to someone who doesn't know what it is, he can understand what 'pain' is, he can simulate 'pain', he can even react accordingly when it is 'painful', but he'll never know or feel it.

Why don't you write a whole story when you already begun?
