The ability
to see colours presents distinct selective advantages for species. Such as
being able to recognise predators, food and mates.
Indeed it is thought that, our bodies and brains have evolved to ‘create’ colour. We have
evolved within limitations to have the colour system we have because it has
allowed us to function well in the world.
Plant life has been important to our
evolution and so the ability to place in one category the things that are green
has apparent value for survival.
The same goes for blood and the colour red,
the sky and the colour blue. We have the colour concepts we have because of the
physical limitations constraining evolutionary advantages
.What is "blue",
after all?
So-called "color" may be biologically-constrained, but is
ultimately a cultural construction.
Saying that the "sky" is
"blue" is "true" because of the
Other
cultures have no such concept as "blue"; thus, it can't be an
objective fact about the "sky", or anything for that matter, that it
is "blue".
We walk around with cave person ideas?
Think John Lennon 'above us only sky'
from that globalist anthem 'Imagine'
Sorry John, there is no Sky, Imagine is one of those cultural constructions
that makes one believe in a "sky"?
