I've seen you make it often, but I've never seen you explain -why- you think this to be so?
Quote: Nor is there any plausible mechanism described which would allow the supervenience of qualia on any physical system. In fact, you don't even have the capacity, given a given physical system, to determine IF it is capable of experiencing qualia.Then how have you determined that -you- experience qualia..praytell?
