Cool, another adult in the room. I’ve been arguing against emergence with respect to qualia. Right now I am rolling genkaus’s and apo’s ideas around to make sure I fully understand their points and see if our respective philosophies are really that far apart. The idea of emergence has a couple of different conotations and I may be confusing them or we may be talking past each other. I hope to jump back in to the conversation after thinking it through more.
