Here’s another one: is your ‘white’ the same as mine? Because of differences in physiology and our unique makeup of our individual bodies and nerve pathways, could what you see as ‘white’ be the same set of neural signals I perceive as ‘red’? Our behavior (e.g. stopping at a ‘red’ light) would be conditioned similarly, even though our individual neural interpretations could be different, even if the measurable phenomenon like wavelength were objective.
