You can't see light. You can see things illuminated by light.

You see the light waves reflected off of various materials.

That’s it. And, indeed, you see light. That’s what your eyes do.

Little smart ass knowhow: With your hands, you can feel light.

You feel infrared light as heat. Not visible light though. Just heat up your cooker stove and it emits a bit visible red and a lot infrared light. Don’t touch just keep your hand close to the stove. Now you feel the IR-„light“.

Or just take an IR-lamp for your neck pain. You‘ll feel the light that’s emitting with your hands.

You should have bolded this and done all caps.

You swap seeing with recognizing. You recognize things. And you see light.

That's not what the word "see" means. You're trying to to swap it for another word like "sense." You see objects, not light.

Bro, take the L and walk away. Seeing is a sense, senses are neurons activated by something, whether it's; temperature, chemicals, or photons.

I'm here having reasoned conversations with thoughtful people. I left the karma farming behind on reddit, and I don't miss it. I can't lose.

The word "see" predates the concepts of neurons, chemicals, and photons by thousands of years. We see objects, not light.
