What Color Is…

In reply to; “what is your favorite color?”

Angstroms… frequencies of wavelengths, mechanics of perception and cognition to brain interp –

What color is a mirror set on a beach facing the ocean to the west?

I look at colors objectively; as phenomenal appearances of surfaces reflecting light waves, or generating electro-magnetic spectrum frequencies in the case of radiant heat, that my brain interprets as colors. There isn’t any color in nature. Color is all in-the-mind of an observer. It is like asking what color an atom is, or a quark, or a particle-wave.

One could make- and DARPA and others probably already have, surfaces that change reflecting qualities to make themselves able to present different colors reflecting from their surface. Something like that is also perhaps how one creates invisible army tanks or spaceships.

Someone asked me; “Tell me, when you allow yourself to step out of analysis for a moment, what kinds of experiences still move you the most? What reaches you without needing explanation?”

I replied; I suppose there are two; one would have to be sacrifice of life and the other would be the suffering of others. I met a medal of honor recipient once- an amazing fellow. Here is a video- the first made, of a medal of honor action filmed by a predator drone above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7GXN-lZKQs

Christ of course accomplished both of those in a day. Remarkable people- good examples to try to emulate a little.

Elite soldiers are like pro athletes and it takes luck and effort to be one- I wasn’t. Jesus was the Son in the Trinity and thus also elite lol. I read formal logic at the shed for a couple years when I was unemployed many years ago, and followed that with readings in the philosophy of logic and language. Strawson, Kripke, Quine, Wittgenstein etc. I consider what is possible and what is the ideal and act if I think it would be effective.

Epistemology is the theory of knowledge as a field of philosophy. Mind and its language content is somewhat phenomenal. There is an in-built, implicit logic to thought that exists even in the subconscious because mind is adapted to nature and the environment, yet intentional thought is to some extent a result of self-programming and learning. It tends to occur in a linear way as if it had a thermodynamic arrow of time, like time and the matter of the Universe do as well (although physicists say that it is at least mathematically reversible regarding symmetry of the entire physics of the cosmos – like a film that could be run backward. Others might disagree and say that quantum uncertainty would make it impossible to reverse the arrow of time. Consider that for a second though; if time is reversible then quantum uncertainty need be deterministic lol. Quantum mechanics and the physics of general relativity (and math) haven’t been harmonized or unified as a continuum yet, and possibly never will since either or both may be superficial or penultimate accounts of the structure of Universe fields.

So one, if objective, might find better thought solutions or configurations upon which to act, if acting to correct things is possible.
