I'm afraid you could be quoting Hindu scripture in its original language for
all my ability to attach a truth value to any of it. I'll try one more shot:
Are you claiming a human uploaded to a purely digital computer (equivalent
to some Turing machine) would _not_ have qualia, and/or would not be
conscious? If you are, I'll take the bet. If not, I've no idea, though feel
free to try other definitions on me.
