        Learn Math first. That’s the language of the Universe. Later, you can worry about understanding my English.

        But currently, no neurologist or optometrist can tell us how our consciousness experiences the color red, or any other color.

        My dad was an optometrist. One of my 1st memories was him telling me about the things we can't see on the spectrum.
