This is the most random affirmation that someone can make in a discussion about consciousness. It is so random that it is useless to say that qualia do exist. And qualia are observer-absolutes, since when I see red, I see red. You cannot come to me and tell me that I see blue. On the other hand, if I run a computation and say that that computes 1+1=2, you can at any time tell me that it actually computers the solution of finding the exit through a maze represented by an electron passing through an electronic circuit.
