Even among humans we see colors differently. The average human has 3 color receptors (trichromatic), but some only have 2 (dichromatic) and some even have 4 (tetrachromatic).

Literally the entire world is just what your brain perceives through its neurons

There still is a world if your blind... I have heard our eyes and mind invent what they are preciving in your proriferial vision, basically an hallucination, so maybe blind people actually perceive the world more accurately because their senses must be more attuned and accurate, and we sometimes can't even trust our own vision

Yep, everything is just as real as the goop in our heads interprets it to be. If life never existed, would *anything* "exist"?
