  I disagree that it’s pointless. I think it may be beneficial to humanity (eventually) to establish whether or not there is an objective reality which we all experience.

    i agree, but that’s a job for neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and psychology; not a pack of dorks on the fediverse.

      But I want to contribute to humanity in a meaningful way!

      it’s more in the philosophy ballpark, which shapes the interpretration of methodology and the consequences, in my humble opinion.

      But what if the dorks on the fediverse are scientists?

    There is no way to “establish whether or not there is an objective reality.” It’s a philosophical position. You either take the reality which we observe and study as part of the material sciences to be objective reality, or you don’t believe it’s objective reality and think it is all sort of invented in the “mind” somehow. Either position you take, you cannot prove or disprove either one, because even if you take the latter position, no evidence I prevent to you could change your mind because to be presented evidence would only mean for that evidence to appear in the mind, and thus wouldn’t prove anything. The best argument we can make is just taking the reality we observe as indeed reality is just philosophically simpler, but that also requires you to philosophically value simplicity, which you cannot prove that with science either.

  Some people see numbers instead/along with colors, and different people see different numbers, so I guess the colors might be different between people too

    I would be way more surprised if people who saw numbers with colors all saw the same numbers.
