Personally I think it’s silly as hell. Qualia is obviously a biological component of experience… Not some weird thing that science will never be able to put in to words.

I’ve been listening to a lot of psychology podcasts lately and for some reason people seem obsessed with the idea despite you needing to make the same logical leaps to believe it as any sort of mysticism… Maybe I am just tripping idk

    Once again: because they are behaviourally identical to you.

    What part about their homeostasis dictates that responding to you is necessary to achieve a fruitful life?

    Ok. Just straight up admitting you don’t know shit and you’re proud of it. Just a hillbilly afraid those damn scary books.

    DAMN STRAIGHT. And you’re just a city slicker too afraid of them country Jays that have too experience with the real world… many such cases.

    I beg of you: descibe to me a P Zombie that is a physical clone of me that doesn’t have my mental state. Describe to me how that P Zombie is uniquely different from the version of me that you froze of me 20 minutes ago. Where does the distinction lie? You say theres no consciousness, I say theres no way for that to be? Again, me arguing on hexbear is the OPPOSITE OF FUCKING. I should be FUCKING right now. I am getting the OPPOSITE of DICK.

      The same as yours. The only difference is that they don’t experience qualia

      DAMN STRAIGHT.

        Read. The. Fucking. Paper

        I did. Its wrong. It explains no FUNCTIONAL reason for me to be arguing with you right now instead of getting my bump and grind on. We can theorize a robot that does 1:1 what I do in real life,. That doesnt mean I was written in fucking c#

          You have already outright stated that you did not read the paper while repeatedly demanding people explain to you concepts that the paper explained. You are clearly now lying about having read it, just like you admitted lying about having written a masters thesis in physics.
