What you refer to as qualia are not "private", even though they're subjective. When we say a person is enlightened it means they realize what kind of effect a certain kind of thing has on the "eyesight" of a person's consciousness, and they also can see what kinds of causes people carry within their own consciousnesses. The reason why you may have heard they're private is that a true enlightened being only comes to world extremely rarely – once in every few thousand years.
- blueprint 10y agoWhat's with the downvotes? What I said is true. If you disagree but cannot form a cogent retort, downvoting is a rather transparent method by which to display the lack of legitimacy of your point of view. After all, what I said is concrete and sincere, and therefore quite convenient to form a useful debate around.
