Apparently, it fits into brains.  ...........?
Fine. Pull out your Qualiometer 3000, and demonstrate that a brain, or ANY other physical system, has qualia.

The question is why you don't believe ALL the universe is this way.

Quote:The difference in physical function would be qualia.....
Great! Show me some qualia, and we'll look at it under a microscope, and it's a done deal.

Quote:So to insist that the universe is nothing but physical function is to introduce a ghost into the equation.
I'm not sure why you would think so, it doesn't follow from anything above.
That's because everything you just said begs the question.
