No, I don't know that I myself possess qualia. I agree with Dennett that "qualia" is a philosopher invention that is incompatible with neuroscience. IMO "qualia" is just a rhetorical trick designed to justify human superiority.
- Jensson 4y agoWould you mind if we ripped out your brain and replaced it with a superior computer that could control your body? There are no disadvantages for you, the brain would control you to create offspring, so it is the best thing for you to do. It would be nicer to your friends, a better parent for your kids, do better at work etc. If you wouldn't want to do the above, the reason not to do it would be that you want to keep your current qualia. There are no other reasons not to do it. So, if you don't want above, it means that you know what qualia is, you are just playing ignorant here.
