We have a lot of evidence of how people perceive color, and the differences of perception. There are tests that measure the ability to distinguish color. Some people are only colorblind in one eye, and report perceptual differences that are predictable by phenotype. I would expect any meaningful difference in qualia would have some conceivable (if not performable) test. Otherwise we're calling two equivalent things different for no reason at all.
I personally tend to believe that non-falsifiable statements are necessarily non-physical.
- DennisP 6y agoI challenge you to devise a test able to detect that I perceive the color spectrum in reverse.
- bawolff 6y agoIs that a meaningful difference in qualia? Does a relabeling of what are arbitrary labelings change my subjective experience. Is precieving the colour spectrum in reverse even a meaningful statement? Or is it more like saying you can't prove i added 2+1 instead of 1+2.
- xvedejas 6y agoWell, that's my point. If you can't detect it, it's not a difference.
