I like the fact that you make a very entertaining video on Merleau-Ponty, an important philosopher very few people have heard of!
You are right that previous experiences becomes integral to our perception of e.g. an apple. MP would say that our perception of a chair carries not just colour, but an implicit solicitation for us to sit on it, or the apple to eat it. We determine the chair or apple as whole gestalts in the world, we don't build an image up from isolated sensory data (eg colour).
Yeah, wow. I'm sorry to say that you got it wrong for the most part. I give you max points for trying to read and present the ideas of this very challenging and original existential-phenomenologist, I wouldn't have the guts to make a video on it.
Some of what you've expressed here is either the opposite of MP's views or irrelevant. Could you cite the example of the inverted colors or how intersubjectivity in fact makes perception entirely subjective and yet at the same time somehow dependent on what is merely 'popular'?
