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

Yea I drank too much for a Thursday. Sorry. I appreciate your critique though. you've been the only person that has provded a substantive counter argument. Is that my proclivity toward the unknown rationality? Who knows. Either way I appreciate what you bring to the table. Without you Id right all the time and i've had killed myself like 10 years ago.

Anyways, great job. I know personaally that giving your true opinion about epiistemic philsophy (is that the right term?????) can feel self flagettlating and self defeating, but I appreaciate it. So thanks, man. Maybe when I am more sober( whicj i was like 5 hours ago) i can provide more substantive arguments ). And again, you probably think I am a dunce, I dont dispute that. I have never had the ability to grow into anything but a dunce
