Questioning Consciousness
Djiezes
by Djiezes  2-6-2008    1
  What we should be doing instead is trying to explain just how we have been set up—and why. 1. What exactly is the real-world brain activity that we are engaging with when we say a sensation is like something? 2. Why does this activity have the (tricky) properties it has, such that our experience of it is seemingly something so strangely private, not of this world, and indescribable in common terms? 3. What makes this trick work? How is it done? 4. What is the point? Why was it designed like this? What might have been the evolutionary advantage of our having these marvelous experiences? I believe we can already propose plausible answers to each of these questions—although they are all quite radical. Here they are.

  Clipette and I were reading "conversations about consciousness" and one interviewee referred to "qualia" every other sentence. Have to admit that I had to look it up.
