    I already mentioned that one can create the hallucination of seeing red by stimulating a person's visual cortex with the electromagnetic field. Therefore, any visual experience is created in the visual cortex.

    Oh ha ha! You made a little joke about my handle! No one ever did that before; I should have thought about that when I chose the label.

    Sure you did. However, it doesn't quite explain why you want to say the rose looks red, when it is red.

    This sounds like some scientific experiment report, but it sounds mysterious and has some problems to clarify.

    Is the redness created by stimulating a person's visual cortex with the electromagnetic field, the same redness of the rose? Are all redness are the same redness? If the experimental creation of redness was possible to "a person", could the result be replicated with all other folks on earth? Or could it have been just one off event by chance?

    MoK, I can't seem to be able to select your quote to Tom Storm "I think they mix love, affection, and the like with beauty." This is not true. Love is inexcorably linked to beauty. Beauty and good is exactly what is loved. Parents love their children because they believe that their children are beautiful and good. People love their beloved not just for their looks or other extrinsic features but also for the intrinsic "beauty in the inward soul". This is what those who love see in their beloved regardless of whether others see them as beautiful or ugly.

    There are no problems here. You can google it yourself.

    Yes. It could be lighter or darker though.

    Yes.

    Google, all the ChatBots and AI parrots are not good source for knowledge. Most of the times, they talk nonsense. I don't use them at all.

    Yes. It could be lighter or darker though.MoK
    Please show us the photo evidence of the different images in the cortex for lighter and darker reds which are from the electromagnetic stimulation, and the ones from the red rose.

    Yes.MoK
    With whom were the replicating experiments carried out? Please submit all the names and the details of the results which the experiments have been conducted to support your claims, from which the validity of the claims would be judged and accepted, or thrown out as unfounded claims.

    If you spent a little time googling then you could find many scientific articles on the topic.

    Sure, but I try to think on them by myself reading the classic philosophical books. Google and A.I. parrots can be ok at times for finding best price for things or catching up with the news and weather forecasts.

    But most importantly, blindly accepting the information from the popular media services whatever they throw to folks, and presenting them as absolute truths is not a good way doing philosophy in principle.

    I am not saying "don't use them", but just saying, if you chose to use them, then back them up with concrete evidence. :)

    Remember you asked me to Google? That's why I gave you the reason why I don't Google.

    Well, Science. Of course I do believe in Science, but only the parts which is reasonable and making sense. If it is not reasonable or shady in their claims, then it must be put onto the table of the philosophical investigations, before accepting it.

    You shouldn't believe in science as a whole, just because it says "science". That would be then religious beliefs you are having. Bear in mind, in the ancient times, science and religion were one subject.

    I am not interested in what the popular media services saying unless they were really assisting in solving critical problems. I would be rather more interested in what each individual as a person thinks on the issues with his / her own mind. I believe that is the philosophical methodology and principle.

    I am talking with MoK, not with Google. I know exactly what MoK has been saying on every points. I don't need to go to Google. I just pointed on some points which are not clear which MoK was addressing, and asked how "MoK" thinks on them, not what Google thinks, or the article says.

    Thanks mate. My point was that methodology of your knowledge and claims are as important as the knowledge itself. No worries. Hope we can continue discussions in some other topics in the future. All the best.

    MoK, I don't know why my tablet would not allows me to select your full question "Don't parents of a disabled child love him/her?" It is because they love their child that they can overlook their child's (outer and inner) deformity and see the intrinsic beauty and goodness of their child.

    Don't you think that the parents believe that their child is disable yet they love him/her?

    Yes. I think that the parents can love their child even though they believe that their child is disable. The parents see their child through their "minds eyes" which overlooks deformity and sees the intrinsic beauty and goodness of their child.

    My point was the love of parents for their children is not affected by whether their children are ugly or disable. A disable child is disable and cannot look in the eyes of parents otherwise.

    Your point is partly true, but it is not the complete truth. The intrinsic love of parents for their children is not affected by whether their children are ugly or disabled because loving parents see their children through their "minds eyes" which overlook their children`s disability and sees only the intrinsic beauty of their children. If the parents were not able to look past their children`s extrinsic ugliness or disability, then they only love their children`s extrinsic beauty and not their intrinsic beauty and goodness.
