The only quale I feel is happiness (i'd describe it but it's a private experience that is incommunicable).

Just really curious, why DOES /sci/ dismiss "qualia"? Judging from my own experience, I would have to agree with the phenomenon of....experience.

>> No.5247597

>>5247590
/sci/ dismisses the idea that qualia is somehow special. That qualia is some subjective measurement that can't be quantified and communicated between two people.

Oh, okay. Well you can't do much about that then, can you?

>> No.5247607

I thought for awhile there that you guys didn't believe people could experience ineffable feelings brought on by stimuli...I kind of believe that somewhere in the brain is the answer to how we feel or think the way we do when we experience something. We'll figure it out eventually. We're just meat robots.

/sci/ believes that nothing ineffable is real.

>> No.5247619

>>5247611
Then how do you explain the ineffable feelings/thoughts I've experienced? Or maybe abstract would be a better word?

What is your definition of "ineffable"?

>> No.5247624

>>5247619
I was going with impossible to communicate, ie, "nonreal" or unobservable. If something is unobservable then it has no effect on the universe, it doesn't touch reality, this means that for our purposes it is not real, it can't affect us in any way, it is meaningless. You personally being unable to communicate a thought doesn't mean it can't be observed, measured and communicated by someone with a sufficient understanding and technology, just like a cat being unable to explain how gravity is transmitted doesn't make gravity any more ineffable.

This isn't a feel thread, this is a thread about the indescribable but true phenomena that is qualia, and how Erwin Schrodinger, the greatest physicist of the 20th century was a great proponent of this new science of subjective reality.
