That is why even a Nobel Prize-winning biologist like Gerald Edelman tells us that reality is actually colorless; because he takes reality to be what science tells us it is, not what he experiences as an individual.

Wrong.

That is wrong in both a "thin" sense of meaning and in a "thick" sense. Thin: Science doesn't have senses, therefore cannot "tell" anything.

Thick: Using our senses when we look at science we are not looking into the elusive "mirror of nature" that is independent of and outside our senses. We cannot get outside our senses. We perceive mirrors and colors and morals with our senses.
