    The argument is not that they don’t exist.

    A color is an example that not all perceived can be described using terms of the physical world, and has variables that can only be experienced rather than described

        Another aspect of this conversation was what was posited by the Sapir Whorf Hypothesis. The experiential differences in perception of color can also be attributed to differences in culture / upbringing which influenced one’s processing of the stimuli itself. I tend to oversimplify it to the firmware analogy. Sometimes you get raw input and the languages provide different libraries for comtextualizing this input.
