13 Pictures For A Philosophical Discussion

Sometimes philosophy is dumb; sometimes it's this.

13 Pictures For A Philosophical Discussion

It's 2016, so it's pretty safe to say we all know someone who, well I don't think I'm allowed to say it but it rhymes with "chokes need." As you know, or they will most likely tell you, "choking need" makes you smarter for a lot of reasons. The number-one reason is it opens your mind to possibilities that your normal mind would think of and then immediately go "that's stupid" for some reason. Here's an interesting philosophical question that I've heard tossed around a lot by the more-liberated folks in the world: Do we all see colors the same way? I mean, what if my green was your red and to you everything looked like that one planet from "Star Trek: Into Darkness." Of course you wouldn't know what I meant by that if your red was my green. See how insanely complex and cool this idea is? Just like "Star Trek: Into Darkness." Man, I should watch that movie again. Point is, we're gonna try and figure this out. Let's see if we all see colors the same way. I'm not going to label these colors and you just tell me what color the picture is. By the way, colorblind people, sorry this one isn't for you.

1. This one?

Is that what your green looks like?

2. What about this one?

Again, colorblind people, I'm sorry but don't be answering this question. Seriously, you'll throw off my incredibly important data.

3. Green enough for you?

Colorblind people, if you've stuck around, I'm curious to know, why don't they let you fly planes? I mean it seems weird, right? Like I can watch black and white movies and know what's happening. I feel like you can fly planes just fine. Maybe that's just me.

4. No way this one is green.

Hey colorblind people, are any of you racist? How does that even work? I'm not really sure how your whole thing goes, can you tell?

5. Here's my green.

I'm not trying to bash you guys, just trying to get a better understanding of what it's like you know? I mean if you've made it this far you clearly don't mind me asking questions. Just in such sensitive times it's important to make sure I make it clear my intentions are clear.

6. Decidedly not green. Or is it?

Colorblind people are lame. Haha. They can't read this.

7. This is the one the site called green...

So I looked up some stuff about being colorblind. Turns out they can read that. Whoops. Totally kidding guys.

8. Seriously, have you seen green yet?

So... seen any good movies lately? Yeah me neither really...

9. Now this is probably green.

All right, I think that's it for the solid color tests. Now it's time to switch tactics. I'm going to show you a series of pictures, tell me which section, if any, contains your green.

10. Where's the green?

Is it just me or does that dog look like it's pooping?

11. Time to find it in here.

Jesus, I hope there's the rest of a kid under the sand there. Otherwise I picked a bad picture at random. Someone find who took this, just in case. Oh, and green?

12. Where's it at?

In this image of someone beating a dead horse, do you see any green?

13. OK, we're getting too meta.

Also I realized that this experiment doesn't really work. So the point apparently is that we all identify green as the same thing but it just looks different to us or something? I don't know, it was dumb. Sorry about wasting so much of your time that you'll never get back.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
