Well that works for mee tooIt'd probably be easier to describe what the elephant pen at the zoo smells like................
Pretty much the direct gist of it.You don't?
I have just cleared out my Attic and going though some old papers and books and i came accross my old Uni books,nothing like nostalgia to cheers you up,anyway i lightened on this question.
How do you tell or describe what the colour Pink is to a Man blind from birth
Well that works for mee too
I ment this.As I have already said, I can't smell.
When I imagine what smell is I compare it to some sort of long range, x-ray-like sense of taste.
x-ray because you can smell things around corners and the like.
I may not know what a rose smell like, or bacon or skunk, but I think of smell as a spectrum just like light/colors or sound or touch.
I like some colors or combinations of colors, and disslike others or like some kinds of music or sounds like laughter and dislike other kinds of music or sounds like knife against plate or like the feeling of somone stroking my hair but hate when it itches or stings.
I imagine that smell is basically the same. some smells are pleasant and others are not. Different people may feel different about the same smell, just like they may feel differnet about different colors or sounds. But there is general agreement that smell of skunk is bad just like sound of knife against plate or nails against blackboard is bad. and smell of roses is good like the taste of vanilla icecream is good.
It is true that I have no idea of what a rose really smells like, and never will without a reference point.
But have I understood the concept of smell?
Can a blind mand understand the concept of pink?
And is understanding the concept of pink the same as understanding what pink is?
Theres no way to meaningfully communicate the experience of a missing sense. I've learned this from interacting with many people who have no sense of humor.
This sounds like Communist propaganda.
Why do you hate America?

After he's had sex, tell him that it's the color of the vagina.
Pink will forever be his favorite color.

You don't, but if you talk around it well enough, they can come to "pink" on their own.How do you tell or describe what the colour Pink is to a Man blind from birth
I've looked into this before. People are that are born blind dream in terms of sounds, and possibly touch, but not sight. If someone was born with a little bit of sight, they can dream with a little bit of sight.I also wonder as to what are the dreams of born blind like?
I guess you will have to refer to his other senses in order to explain it to him.
You can practice on me, I was born without a sense of smell.
Explain to me what a rose smells like.
