I might go for it if you come up with a definition of "qualia" that I can
work with (your proposed definition doesn't mean anything at all to me - I
couldn't tell you whether I think qualia exist _now_ from it, any more than
I could tell you whether a snark is a boojum).

Are you relying on new physics for this stuff? If you are, I can come up
with a proposed definition. Or are you saying the mind is incomputable a la
Penrose? If so, I can come up with a definition based on that.
