Ah, but do you really know if what I see is the same thing that you see? I "see" what my brain creates. We can only know what the world looks like based on what our mind interprets from what we sense. Or what we create in our imaginations. I can see all sorts of things behind my eyelids, in my mind, that I've never seen in the world. I'm sure a blind person can do the same.
Of course, this is all rhetorical philosophizing. We should be talking to someone like Evgen Bavcar to understand what he sees. Maybe I'll just ask him myself!

ROFLOL!!!
Yes, Kit, they do. It's not what "we perceive" as darkness. It IS, by definition, darkness.

George--
What difference does age make? Or if the person was blind from birth? Since images are themselves "created" in the mind anyway, is the ability to visualize predicated on having had conventional sight, that is, using one's eyes to see, or is it an ability that is innate? Do folks who can't see live in what we perceive as "darkness"?
