  • The sky isn't blue in many cultures. It's been shown that words for blue only occur in a language after that culture has discovered a blue dye. And that limitation in available words also constrains how you see and think about the world.

  • Wasn't actually intended as a joke at first, but I noticed it before I posted.. Wasn't sure whether to post. Anyway, feel free to treat it as one, but I was being serious too.
