This is so cool, I’m so uninformed about Plex. I just heard about it on r/Piracy days before the Reddit shutdown. I’m getting ready to sit down and learn how to do all that, the hardware will baffle me I’m sure.

While you are correct that suffering is a better metric, there would be many in our society that would gravitate towards higher rated suffering items in the same way they want real fur coats and real leather in their Ferraris. That would backfire quickly.

That’s a thought exercise I first explored when I was tripping on LSD one time. Once you accept that colors could look entirely different, what’s to stop us from imagining that the entire makeup of our perception is adjusted to the individual, but the chaos of the universe keeps all of our unique perceptions in enough alignment that we can interact seamlessly with one another. The concept of an “alien green man” could be what someone actually sees the whole human species as, and the words “alien green man” just fit a different description to that individual, so when refrenced, that person envisions an alien being as foreign as the “alien green man” is to us, and can communicate with others on that concept.

Perception defines your experience

Which is why different animals perceive color in different ways. I’d have to look for it but I think it’s tigers that see green in a totally different way than people do.
