I sense a high level of cheeseyness in this thread  :grin:.

But seriously I think LOPHO.MP said it best:
"I also think that psychedelics are as close as we will probably ever get to experiencing new senses. "

Each substance gives you different over-all sense or perception of the reality you're in.

Yes McKenna was once talking about how psychedelics allow one to "triangulate" reality, meaning alter your state so as to look at everything from a different perspective to see things at angles you'd never seen before. I think thats at least similar to what LOPHO.MP was getting at?

Can a blind chameleon still change colors correctly?

I'd like to know!

How Animal Camouflage Works
Biochromes, which are microscopic, natural pigments in an animal's body, produce colors chemically. Their chemical makeup is such that they absorb some colors of light and reflect others. The apparent color of a pigment is a combination of all the visible wavelengths of light that are reflected by that pigment.

Some animals, such as various cuttlefish species, can manipulate their chromatophores to change their overall skin color. These animals have a collection of chromatophores, each of which contains a single pigment. An individual chromatophore is surrounded by a circular muscle that can constrict and expand. When the cuttlefish constricts the muscle, all the pigment is squeezed to the top of the chromatophore. At the top, the cell is flattened out into a wide disc. When the muscle relaxes, the cell returns to its natural shape of a relatively small blob. This blob is much harder to see than the wide disc of the constricted cell. By constricting all the chromatophores with a certain pigment and relaxing all the ones with other pigments, the animal can change the overall color of its body.

Cuttlefish with this ability can generate a wide range of colors and many interesting patterns. By perceiving the color of a backdrop and constricting the right combination of chromatophores, the animal can blend in with all sorts of surroundings. Cuttlefish may also use this ability to communicate with each other. The most famous color-changer, the chameleon, alters its skin color using a similar mechanism, but not usually for camouflaging purposes. Chameleons tend to change their skin color when their mood changes, not when they move into different surroundings.

I'm no biologist, but if I understnd all this correctly, a blind chameleon can still change colors. It's a matter of light being absorbed and replicated through the skin.

Ain't nature wacky?

"By perceiving the color of a backdrop and constricting the right combination of chromatophores, the animal can blend in with all sorts of surroundings."

So I assume now that they DO basically look in back of them, think "ok there's a bunch of grey shit in back of me so I'll turn grey :smile:"
