An intro to my non-materialist view

[Bunburryist]

You're real close.  You're right.  A default materialist might call This Experience  "a brain image" or "a subjective experience" or a "qualia world" or something else.  But those are loaded phrases that come right out of the materialist dictionary.  We need a neutral phrase.  That's why I use This Experience.  To me it's also very important that it's something the average non-philosopher can relate to.  Also, by using a new phrase, it carries along with it the idea that I'm trying to get at something different from the materialist-idealist debate.  Not even close.

We do have a new-neutral phrase.  It's a representation.  

That's not neutral.  It's right out of the materialist dictionary.  It Implies that This Experience IS a representation.  Your just assuming the materialist view by using that very word.  Using my cat analogy, that's like saying, when I suggest using "animal" for a neutral pointer, your responding - "We already have a neutral phrase - it's a feline.  I know my phraseology is different.  It's different for a reason.  I don't know if this will ever actually get that far, but when it gets to the point where materialism is questioned, we don't want to have materialist-laden terminology holding us back.  "This Experience" is about as neutral as one can get.  By the way, nothing I'm doing here, at this point, is in any way anti-materialist.  Just the opposite.  Stick we me and I think you'll see I'm actually playing hard-ball materialism.
