Oh, wait. . . that's not a real thing. I suppose I have to wait for you to tell us that things that aren't qualia really are.
Quote: We recognize it in others -with no training whatsoever-, no understanding of the phenomena at all, required. It has a definition, it has parameters, it can be located....discovered...discovered, discovery -is- qualia...jesus fucking christ......."discovering" anything at all....anything.......is simultaneously "discovering" qualia. That's what the term refers to, an experience.We assume it in others, and call it recognition. Is making an assumption the same thing as recognizing?
Sorry, a little late to this party. What makes such an assumption unreasonable?
