Is qualia meaningless to you because you are a stubborn follower of Daniel Dennett, or are you open to being convinced that the word refers to something?

  > Qualia: plural of Quale > Quale: A property considered separately from a thing having that property I just don't like the word. Why not call it property? > qualophile: A cognitive scientist who endorses qualia as being unmeasurable by heterophenomenology. That's new to me, but yeah, when I hear the term it is used to describe properties that are not discretely measurable and to me those might as well just not exist, or wrong as far as that relates to the grand parent post.
