Monist vs. Dualist Experiment?

[pocaracas]

The same way you distinguish it in a biological system.... I guess.

The way I distinguish qualia in a biological system is by starting with my own qualia. Then I look in the mirror and see a human body. Then I see other human bodies walking around and talking with each other, and it seems super likely that they experience qualia, too.

I can't use that process of like association with something which is so unlike me as a computer.

Errrr.... so you base it on the fact that you are addressing another human being?.... what was that about zombies a few days ago?

I'm back at defining qualia as something purposefully unreachable, and as a consequence nothing more than mental masturbation...
