Does a digital camera not "see red"? We've done more than just wave at the brain with regards to studying color and our perception of color.No, I do not believe a camera sees anything.
Quote:Your "rather" and "just" appears to be an arbitrary and undemonstrable distinction. Is your brain not processing things and doing stuff? The ability of the brain to process things and do stuff is our best and most evidenced explanation for our minds, and that includes our subjective experiences.Show me what part of physics, what universal properties, qualities or forces, can, in any combination, allow for my actual experience of redness. Sure, you can wave in the general direction of the brain. But that's no more an explanation of the existence of subjective awareness than a computer is for the existence of League of Legends.
