Question
Is the information arriving at the brain different depending on the colour of the eye and does that mean perception is all conventions? I have often noticed that I tend to prefer people as friends who have my eye colour, although in a Freudian tradition I should perhaps be looking for the other? Does eye colour influence the judgement of visual beauty? Is there a sociology of eye colour? Eye colour chauvinism? Does trying to avoid thinking in essentialist patterns mean one should cling as closely as possible to established conventions? Do this kind of essentialism and enlightened thought contradict each other? Are coloured contact lenses meaningful? Do blind people direct their sympathy differently from people who can see?
