Take color.

People agree on colors, but do we see colors the same?

Is the way my mind processes different colors make them appear to me like they do to others?

It is an assumption of faith that this is so.

I can point to red.

You can point to red.

That doesn't prove we both perceive red the same way, just that we separate that wavelength and call it red.

How my mind processes the wavelength of purple may be how you see the wavelength of red. We have no way of knowing this, yet our mental "reality" is colored.

People inherently seem to assume by faith that everyone sees the colors in the same way. How does it effect you to be challenged that this might not be so? You and I have no way of proving it one way or the other.

People have faith about a lot of things without ever realizing it until challenged, even then many chose to close their eyes to it choosing to believe in what can only be a "higher empirical power than their own existence"(Without acknowledging it as such).

The more you learn, the larger grow the surrounding bounds of what you don't know.

The realization that you don't know something is an opportunity to expand the bounds of what you know, and it also simultaneously expands the bounds of what you don't know even larger than they were before.

When someone appeals to "reasonable solutions", what defines reasonable if not a higher power they are attempting to conjure to take sway in the discussion that transcends the listener?

People are faith based in every thing as the brain is a filter of inputs. Some can recognize it, making it easier to correct errors and inconsistencies in their thinking process. Others refuse and prefer to stay close minded.
