  I don’t know what you are on, but did you bring enough for everyone else?

    also, how doesn’t it get wet under the shower?

      By holding it below the shower. But I don’t know if that is just an Aussie thing with how our water works

  …nature of reality is a timeless ocean where every possible bundle of qualia - first person sensory experiences - exists within it? Time doesn’t actually exist, but the illusion of it could…

  Isn’t that an oxymoron? If every possible first-person sensory experience exists, then time exists (we experience time).

    The experience of time would exist, but each individual moment would in reality be timeless - just with a false experience of time for some of them.

  There’s a possibility, but I don’t see any practical implications.

  Also, what strand?

  I guess if that was the fundamental nature of reality, then stuff would be exactly as it is.

  Qualia is a stupid man-made thing that doesn’t even scientifically exist

    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.
