I would be in the math and physics explain everything camp if not for qualia. It seems impossible to me to explain qualia with math.
@emareaf Dennett's argument simplifies if you know what a quotient object is, but he doesn't know that.

@St_Rev looked up quotient object, alas way out of my depth. -
@emareaf Look up Dennett's argument on qualia (the intuition confuses/glues together distinct things). -
@St_Rev I read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia#Daniel_Dennett … and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness_Explained …, am now more confused than before. -
@emareaf Correction: you are more *aware* of your confusion. -
@St_Rev how similar is it to 'free will'? because there I have no problem seeing that it is a nonsense concept. -
@emareaf A little bit. 'Qualia' mistakenly identifies distinct things; 'free will' distinguishes 'things' that aren't actually different.
