Re: [Audyssey] blindness - Re: Announcement from Draconis Entertainment
Hi charles. that lack of anything is! for a sighted person like seeing black, ust the same for a deaf person (assuming they don't have any buz or other tones in their ears), that they hear nothing and so hear silence. Just as however the silence in a series of sounds is only emphasized by the sounds around it however, the absense of light that is black only takes on meaning when it's seen in respect to other objects. That is why in one sense it is true tha t a totally blind person sees nothing but black, but in another sense it is utterly false because black, even though it is an absense only exists by a cntrast to the existant colours around it. Hope this makes sense. Beware the grue! Dark. - --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] blindness - Re: Announcement from Draconis Entertainment
No black here either. There is no color, there is nothing. It would be like if you were born without eyes. Someone who has seen even black can not relate in any way. They might think they can, but they can't. It would be like you were born without the sense of sight. You wouldn't see black, black would not exist. -- From: Charles Rivard wee1s...@fidnet.com Sent: Friday, December 14, 2012 10:00 PM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] blindness - Re: Announcement from Draconis Entertainment I have been blind since birth.

Someone who is totally blind doesn't see any colors, and if you have to associate a color with that sensation it would be black which is the absence of all light. Being blind is the same as locking a sighted person in a closet with no light which would be pitch dark. On 12/14/12, shaun everiss sm.ever...@gmail.com wrote: True, but I can't see colour. People assume that we can just see black because I would imagine that this is what they associate with darkness. I know a lot of people don't even see light. I see light and shaddows of objects, ie cars, walls, etc depending on reflection of light and how bright it is. True colour via word associations do work but to see those well I don't or rather assume I don't. I probably do see black or at least white but can't recognise it. In an interesting note during some research I was doing for local uni I could see uv light but that was that. So whatever uv is I can assume I am able to see it even if I don't what I know what this is. same for darkness, I assume I can see black but don't associate darkness with anything. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
