It's daytime, I ask you to put the red cup on the counter into the cupboard, is the cup in the cupboard still red? Does it, at this point, exist in any way more than our shared expectations of experiencing a red cup upon opening the drawer? Or say, while in the drawer it's still part of the objects in the world around me (there being a red cup in that cupboard), but that's just part of how I experience the world around me. Does the cups existence extend beyond this? If I were to die, would it still be in the cupboard? But in this question I set up a post-myself world, imagining viewing the cupboard, supposedly in the absence of my own viewpoint (death), so the question is odd. If I were to die, I could say nothing, not even ask the question.

At night, while getting a snack, I see in the darkness that again you've forgotten to put the cup away after using it. Is it still a red cup, when seen in the dark, as an amorphous dark object?

If so, why, in our language, do we privilege how things are experienced in the daylight over nightlight? Why is it a red cup, in the darkness, say rather than a dark cup, in the redness, or in the daylight?

Is it a red cup or a dark cup? Does it's status change as they way in which I experience it changes?

Is behind my head uninterpreted reality? What if I see a red cup on a counter, then turn 180 degrees. The red cup is behind me, I might say, and conclude that my visual field is within a wider reality that I experience. Or, I experience myself as being within an all directions possible visual world, but I only visually experience one slice of it (where my eyes point), but I experience the rest of it in terms of language? The re cup being behind me is something I experience, but it's not visual, because I'm not facing it, so what sort of experience is it? I mean I'm experiencing an object being behind me, without sensing it at the time, so what sort of experience is this? What's going on? Do concepts or language, or expectations of experiences exist behind my head? What gives?

Guys I think language is the world, but, there's other languages, and people who can't or have never learned to speak. How do I reconcile what I assume to be radically different world experiences with my own? Are they translatable? Is solipsism feasible?

I'm going to read genre fiction today and there's nothing you can do about it.
