The discussion centers around the nature of color, particularly red, and its existence as both a subjective experience and an objective phenomenon. It explores the distinction between the first-person experience of seeing red and the third-person scientific definition based on light wavelengths. Participants debate whether concepts like color exist solely in the mind or if they have an objective reality, emphasizing that while the physical properties of red can be measured, the subjective experience of color perception is inherently personal. The conversation also touches on the limitations of science in fully capturing first-person experiences, suggesting that consciousness and perception may be more complex than currently understood. Ultimately, the dialogue raises questions about the relationship between subjective experience and objective reality.

Hello everybody, I really enjoyed the discusion its really interesting... now something, I find that there are open rooms for a whole different world for each single person... what I mean is that the world that is both observed and experienced can be actually different from the other person's and in other words we live in a type of relative network of our asumptions...
I learned a lot in this thread and I would like to thank everyone here.
Please inform me my mistake :)
