In Greek mythology, Sleep is the brother of Death. That is, he is not Death, but is he a simply a part of life? Sleep has conscious and unconscious stages—dreaming and dreamless stages. Death is like dreamless sleep, whereas life is like a dream…

As for qualia, yes, I suppose I too am a Jacksonite. A subject is a being about which the question “what’s it like to be that being” makes sense and has an answer; an object is a being about which the question makes no sense and has no answer.
(I suppose we could distinguish between real and unreal subjects, with an unreal subject being a being about whom the question makes sense but doesn’t have an answer, but that would really just be another object: an object of imagination. And in fact, all objects are imaginary like that, being mental constructs on the part of subjects. They may consist of subjects or a subject may consist of them, but they themselves don’t really exist, e.g. in Heidegger’s sense: “Dasein existiert”!)

Is it based on taste touch and smell, or [an] additional other/s?

What is/are the most difficult colour/s to denote/sense, for you? Beige? tee hee hee

43

It’s based on any fragment of association I’ve heard over the years. Grass is green, therefore green is grass. That’s something of a simplification, of course. And beige is, I suppose, boring.

44

Have you ever eaten a pack of starburst and allocated each flavour to a colour? ..or jelly tots, fruit pastilles, wine gums etc.? Green definitely tastes like green,

.

And beige is, I suppose, boring.

Beige is.. bread, pastries, battered cod, chips, but they taste oh so good regardless..

Yellow = an omelette = sunshine = yellow

Does that little picture of a person have any significance? Is it a profound insight? I’m confused.

46

It’s yet another instance of passive aggression, which is “her m.o. in every single post she makes”. :grin:

Seriously though, I think it’s great that she asserts herself (albeit passively). It’s an important step on the way to getting over oneself…

No, mainly because it doesn’t mean anything. How do you know I’m not a ‘ray of sunshine’ to someone else?

48

Not specifically. In terms of food, green to me tastes like those things that have leaves, such as lettuce, cabbage, leek, and so on.

Yes, I can understand those. I was thinking more of clothing when you said beige, but that, I’m told, is definitely not my colour.

49

Significance, yes.. profound insight, no.

..denoting a sun lineage, as opposed to a moon or any other type of lineage.

.

I’m confused.

..it’s a nod to ancestral acknowledgement.. a harkening back, to times of familial clans and covert existence, in the shelter of woodlands valleys and enclaves.

50

..it wasn’t meant to, so simply voicing my observation.

.

How do you know I’m not a ‘ray of sunshine’ to someone else?

I don’t.. you may well be / you may not be / you may be acting so, in jest .

..perhaps my reply was said, in jest. ; )

Green zingy zesty lime sweets, are then the lime-flavoured sweets version of green vegetables.. as are limes, the fruit version of green veg.

As the Skittles ad says.. taste the rainbow..

.

Beige linen Summer trousers are a good look, but not much else in that colour.
.

The weather starts to cool down, as of next week.. yay!

I’m not the aggy type… there are less-obnoxious ways of asserting One’s position, than being an ass… :laughing:
.
Talking of asses… how are you and your neighbours getting on? Mine, I ignore, save for the 2 houses on either side of me… the rest, get either a brief hello or are ignored due to their overt behaviour. :sweat_smile:

Makes sense, and at the same time in an age before reasoning, consciessness could not have been expressed other then moving around in space and time.

They then taught not even being able to distinguish the gradients of illumination, and the reason cats can and dogs cannot ‘experience’ thought in the same way, vis. Colors, or black and white, is pre determinate to sentient perception of awareness, with dawn and twilight being states of awareness coming together and bringing into focus that difference, that unbounded difference where one wakes up and thinks, well is it dawn, or have I just napped a little before twilight.

The point being is that experience, political experience really just may come before common sense,

)I apologize for reverting , cutting into the stream of conscious ness, , but it’s difficult to keep up to any meaningful flow,when escaping heat is uppermost in the mind.)

But so as not to cut an internal flow , the pre-logical mind is more concerned with social participation on the level analogous to the different animal can perceive light , whether black and white or color.

The fact that Plato , or Socrates through him imagined or formed imagination out the lack of motive or goal, may indicate the advanced use of an image prior formed to imagine consequences of moving around.

This led to the formation of structural construction, and the earliest form of what Aristotle may have thought of the matter. That Aristotle’s firmed the conscious structure by which all intervening speculation can be referred to does not axiomatically reduce or eliminate Socrates’ dilemma of justifying his position. That having failed, should have given pause to succeeding generations of philosophers, instead of viewing and transmitting otherwise to impressionable youth.

Pardon for my digression here, the weather here in California is equally unkind.

Talk of limes makes me think of the fruit, and eating one… eek!

I’m not a big fan of trousers, I must admit, and in terms of colour, I usually go for green, clothes-wise. It’s fair to say, indeed, that green is my favourite colour, because of what it represents.

Good news about the weather, it’s about time.

55

I no longer live there. Not that I wanted to leave… Housing crisis, you know.

56

..limes are only good in drinks. :face_with_tongue:

.

Green, representing nature, the great outdoors, life?

..the weather is already on the cooler side this week, but I’m more happy about the days being less-long, as we get to have sunset at the perfect time of day imo.. gonna enjoy them while they last.

57

Absolutely. Green is mother nature, the life-force.

Yes, I much prefer the shorter days, since I work in the evenings. Much better when it’s cooler.

58

That’s only like 80 degrees.
