And more generally you don’t see something that is blue.
That never happens.
Instead, you just see something bluely.
What if there is nothing to see?
The brain in the vat?
Well, they would say, something is going on within it that's like what goes on when one sees something blue(ly).
And that's all that's really happening,
See?
Not very different from the eliminative and reductionist styles of materialism.
In the end, the point is to deny experience.
