1. Recognizable qualitative characters of the given.--C. I. Lewis (1929)

1. Philosophers and scientists alike have pondered qualia for a long time without resolution.
2. AI researchers wonder whether machines that pass the Turing Test would experience qualia, and whether they would even need to do so.
3. It is difficult to deny the existence of qualia.
4. Our failure to define qualia also makes people wonder if color are experienced differently by each person--how can we tell if some people see colors inverted, since they would still call roses red and grass green?
5. Qualia could occur only in the presence, interfacing the future and the past. You can remember the information about events, but not the actual feeling you had at that time. You could remember, for example, having been angry at receiving a parking ticket--but this is information not actually the feeling, since the police officer also remembers you being angry. If the memory makes you angry, then your present anger is a new experience--not the original experience. But this is good; otherwise, we could recall qualia such as pain--and headaches might never end.

I don't know Matt. It sounds like more vapid skepticism for the sake of being obtuse to spite someone. It's "If there's no evidence of rape then no rape has occurred" level of thinking. Or "If there is no evidence you think in pictures and words then I have no reason to believe that people think in pictures or words." And there are hints of "We want to accuse and punish you for stealing our content so we're stealing from you but really we don't care about the content or even think you were trying to steal from us, we don't like what you said about rape women retards child et cetra so we're stealing from you because we don't like how you responded to both what was happening to you and around you.
Hym "If haven't learned a lesson about rape or anything Matt. And you at no point thought this was a thought experiment. You thought I was lying to make you look bad and you found out I was telling the truth after Jordan Peterson told me to "leave" and now you're just doing whatever you can to make me regret doing this. And I don't. Kendra didn't get raped or extorted. You CAN know that I'm telling the truth. I'm not stealing your content. You want me to have to be the thing you've labeled me and now you're doing this. You (just like Kendra) are a peace of shit who chose wrong. Fuck your qualia."
