For me the problem of qualia isn't "What is the color red?" It's "Why do mathematical structures, like ℝ³, 'seem' the way they do?"

I'm willing to accept that color qualia might not exist because they aren't necessary to explain human behavior...

...but how could all of those proofs have been written if the understanding of ℝ³ as a "3-dimensional space" with "distances" wasn't real?

If there really isn't such a thing, then substrings of our brain state would have to be isomorphic to theorem-strings about ℝ³.

@DefuseSec@maradydd Problem w/qualia isn't that, it's that the concept systemically confuses objects & references.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@DefuseSec@maradydd This is Dennett's critique: Sensing red distinct from experience of associating signal w/other 'reds'.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@DefuseSec @maradydd Tons of stuff embedded in ℝ³ that we have zero grasp of (and don't need). ℝ is already really puzzling.
