Skepticism is the psychic equivalent of colorblindness. Skeptics don't have such experiences because they tune them out, just as my (colorblind) eyes tune out certain colors. In my opinion anyone who perceives the color purple must be a total loon.
Hi Steve, I don't quite understand. Couldn't a colorblind person be taught that color is variations in electromagnetic frequency and that each color corresponds to a frequency which can be displayed on a spectrum analyzer for even the colorblind? Or if they don't trust the machine, couldn't they use an Ishihara test on people who claimed to be colorsighted?

For example, you should see nothing but spots bellow, (if I choose the right test) while all your colorsighted friends would agree on the number displayed.

I'm not quite up to date on your writings. Did I misunderstand you?
