This is just a thought I've had, post your opinions
By "we" I mean the "sane". What happens if the "mentally ill" are the healthy ones and they see the world how it really is and what they say is what actually is happening right now we just don't know because of these vaccinations we take everyone couple of years and our tablets like paracetamol and what not, maybe they have also have the drug that is making us see the world in a better way. Maybe the "mentally ill" are the ones who rebelled against the tablets that they take and their minds are too advanced to be bought back by the tablets they are giving them to make them "sane" again? What happens if the governments are making these tablets to stop us seeing what the world is really like? Idk I'm just rambling. But post your thoughts on this

That isn't possible because they aren't colors by definition. OP, I see what your saying, but what if the insane are the true humans, naturally. Instead of saying we are mentally ill, what if we say we are the wrong ones and the mentally ill are correct representation of humans. Anyways, with science and medical advances in the past years we know that mentally ill people actually have conditions that aren't in a normal humans functions.

I feel like people that are crazy do see the world the way it really is.
But not because of pills.

For someone to 'see the world as it really is' they'd first have to see what the world is actually like, truly.
We are not the same, that is a fact. So who says our vision or our perception is the same? Think of it this way. I might see a completely different shade of red looking at the same strawberry as you, yet we both agree its red.
What if that strawberry is not red in the first place? What if everything is in fact colorless?
What I am trying to say is, color is something we made up. That strawberry doesn't know its red, that banana doesn't know its yellow. If we hadn't have invented names for colors it'd just be a banana and it'd just be a strawberry.
If humans have the ingenuity to place names on something what is stopping someone with a mental disability from seeing something else? We just assume it is red because we were told that color is red. For all we know that could be green in someone elses eyes.
No one is going to see the world as 'it truly is' because our perception of everything around us is derived from another person. We share our knowledge of this universe and we receive it from others.
Its scary to think that we rely so much on others really. Imagine this scenario, you have a child and you tell the child that red is green and green is red and you enforce it through his life. That child is going to see those two colors different now, because he derived them from you.

Some people may go "crazy" because of the ways that they think but the tablets and all the medication make's them actually ill.

I believe some foods/drinks even toothpaste make us more dumber and less likely to use our third eye. I don't believe mentally ill people see the world how it really is, I believe that there brains just don't function right.
Saying this, I do believe that some people may see the world for how it really is, just not the mentally ill. I believe that some people are higher beings and know a lot more about the world than we do.
