Way more intelligently put than the crap I started earlier lol.... regardless there are mindless millennials that refuse keep an open mind and would rather use this as opportunity to try and degrade and make fun of than to actually participate.

If you asked a deep sea fish who never surfaces to hypothetically draw a picture of a boat.... the fish would likely draw a 2 dimensional version of what it perceives from below water.



Actually fish know a lot more than you give them credit for,

this just proves that they're not particularly skilled at drawing.

I think his point is the fish can "see" the boat, but have no concept of what it is. What it does.


we know what UFOs do, they fly and transport aliens.

Wrong! We have no idea what they do other than weird shite in the sky because they are UFOs.. if we knew what they did they wouldn't be called UFOs.

You're looking to far into it.... fish is being used very vague/general and also arbitrarily . Feel free to supplement it with any other underwater being that will never have the ability to surface it's threshold.

And to add to that, the fish have no way to go where the the people in the boat actually come from to try to get a better understanding just like we couldn't take a plane or anything that we understand to the realm of the superior beings.

Color and consciousness only exist because of how our brains perceive stimuli. Just think about that

Cool. If I'm reading your OP correctly you might find it interesting.

It was interesting. There's a movie based on it as well. Although the movie you really need to be on acid for.

Oh I know. It's fascinating.

Like how dogs don't have the receptors in their iris to perceive the spectrum of a rainbow. So what humans see as rainbows in the sky.... dogs aren't able to see that prism of colors.
