Right, we may not perceive objectively, but there is an objective reality and it is perceivable.
The reality is that this dress is blue and black.
If you see it as white and gold, either there is a lighting issue manipulating your perception or your perception is malformed in the first place.
Your eyes should be automatically accounting for the exposure and you should be perceiving this objective reality correctly. If you aren’t, you are objectively wrong, and so is your perception.
Do you realize we could both look at a red surface, both call it “red”, but for me it may look like blue looks to you? We would never know, because we grew up pointing at something and calling it red.
You are calling it “malformed perception”, but thats exactly my point: ALL perception is malformed. Humans are not capable of perceiving objective reality and the belief that we can is an issue at the root of many of societies problems.
