@Robotbeat Huh? You and I see color, hear sound, etc. I presume you're not insane and that you accept that as true. So what's this about human brains? Are you looking for your lost car keys under the street lamp because that's where the light happens to be on, and then baffled when you don't find them?
If science is unable to account for the existence of such experiences, then either they fall outside of science (so what? who said empirical science was the only means of knowing? the claim itself isn't scientific) or science must be revised. And what of the claim that anything that isn't quantifiable is bullshit? Is that quantifiable? No? So it's bullshit?
- Robotbeat 4y agoIs the claim falsifiable? If not, then it’s not scientific. Holding up claims to empirical validation (which is very broad and includes observational science, doesn’t have to be traditional experiment alone) is the core of science.
