  Can you expand on what you mean by that? As I thought, the scientific method was about empirically testing things, and the empirical world is defined by what we can sense - ie our qualia.

    My understanding is that qualia are how a “consciousness” experiences something, and I disagree with the notion of a consciousness being a definable thing in general. It’s not a scientific meaning so you can never unambiguously talk about anything in the context of qualia.

      Ok, maybe you’re not conscious then. I know that I am.
