We can already induce various feelings and qualia through the use of chemicals (drugs) and EM fields (tDCS). There's no evidence or proof that these physical domains are insufficient to explain qualia. Likewise, demonstrating that feelings and qualia can be induced via quantum interactions doesn't reveal anything deeper about their nature than does the fact that we can induce happiness or hallucinations with drugs.
- anon291 3y ago> There's no evidence or proof that these physical domains are insufficient to explain qualia Law of excluded middle does not apply in general, only in certain systems. The real world is not one of them. There is also no evidence that physical domains are sufficient to explain qualia. To do that you would have to show that you can make an inanimate / non-living object feel something. Qualia has a very different sensation than simple observation. Do you claim, for example, that a Camera feels red? How? Why? This is a very valid question, for which we have no physical explanation.
