We know that blue things are blue, painful things are painful, and happy things are happy. But what do these things look and feel like for other people? And can we ever know for sure? In this video, we reference and interpret Ludwig Wittgenstein’s beetle in a box ‘thought experiment’ in an attempt to explore these questions.
