Do you know how many things would have to be different about human beings for the inverted spectrum to be possible? Colours affect more than just “what we see” they effect our appetite for example, some are perceived to be more dangerous than others, some more soothing. We have all evolved to give different emotional responses to different wavelengths. It is highly improbable that red could mean danger to one person and indigo mean danger to another. The difference in hard wiring would have to go way deeper than just the parts of the brain that process colours.
Someone else's green may be my red.
My supervisor may be possessed by aliens.
The former is more improbable.
Could I make a thesis out of investigating the impact of pain asymbolia on different theories of qualia? But some of them are STUPID…
