I've never heard the word qualia used as a synonym for consciousness, only as a related but distinct concept.
> an ant has a greater qualia level than us
What? where does this come from?
- invalidusernam3 7mo agoWhy do you quote only the end, the full sentence is: We cannot discard, for example, than an ant has a greater qualia level than They're saying that since we don't know how to "measure consciousness" we can't be certain that an ant doesn't have more "consciousness" than us. Obviously it seems very unlikely, but we can't be certain
