One other point: Although this is a possible explanation for our subjective experience of qualia like "red" or "soft," I don't see it explaining "pain" or "happy" quite so easily. You can hypothesize a sort of mechanism-level explanation of those by relegating them to the older or "lower" parts of the brain (i.e., they're atomic at the conscious level, but have more effects at the physiological level (like releasing chemicals into the system)), but that doesn't satisfactorily cover the subjective side for me. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=120640061-aded06 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
