interesting play but it depends on what you want to do with the concept if you affirm that zombies are possible, then a qualia detector is impossible

this is one of the dialectical pressures towards pan-psychism

and obviously if you have a "detector" that gives only positive signals, you can have no reason for thinking it's a detector. i.e., you can't distinguish false from true positives cuz you have no gold-standard negatives.

thatsthejoke.jpg defining qualia as undetectable seems like just a sneaky theistic maneuver though tbh at the *very* least whatever is having them is interactive with matter and energy as demonstrated by the fact that i'm typing about mine

yeah i mean i think qualia is a sneaky theistic (or generally spooky) concept the correct understanding of what "feelings" are should go by a different route

i'm certainly not looking for it to explain feelings it's abundantly clear that even if feelings are being experienced by a spooky entity lurking in our collapsed spatial axes or something, everything about them there is to be experienced is being produced by matter and energy
