Experience is even less mysterious than consciousness.
A recording is experience. Information you recall and inspect is experience. Experience of consciousness is recollection of mental states.
- pavas 7y agoI'm talking about experience as in "what it is like to be something"[1] which is different than learning or memory. [1] This is the most well known paper on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_it_Like_to_Be_a_Bat%3F https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_it_Like_to_Be_a_Bat%3F
- Iv 7y agoWell, I am arguing that no, it is not. And I don't see what makes qualia mysterious and different from raw sensor values. "An organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism". I would argue that something that has a memory that can contain representations of its own internal states exhibits conscious mental states.
