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

I 100% guarantee theres some genius Chinese think talk talking about this right now and we will never fucking hear of it.

I will find this place and I will learn Chinese and I will get a job there and I will contribute to the realization of Sustainable Intergalactic Super Communism.

Every time someone at work compliments me for doing a good job I literally think "yeah but its all for nothing because I am not Chinese"

real sad world we live in. The Haves (Chinese) certainly make us Have Nots (everyone else) look like shit.

Yeah for real. Not gonna dox myself but I work in Science™ in the US and we are getting absolutely dabbed on it's so pathetic. I guess it's for the best that Empire is forgetting how to do The Science.
