[ExI] Fwd: Paper on "Detecting Qualia" presentation at 2015 MTA conference

[Brent Allsop]

Shit NO!!!

And people wonder why I get mad, and loose it when 90% of the naive 
beetling herd thinks this way, and cluelessly bleats this shit with the 
rest of the herd, censoring and keeping everyone from understanding that 
they are missing something.  If you really think this is an intelligent 
POV, why don't you "canonize" it at canonizer.com, so we can see how 
many people really think this way, so we can know why.  Oh, wait, I 
forget, nobody that just bleats this kind of shit, is capable of 
canonizing anything like that, without realizing how stupid this view is.

The title of the paper is "DETECTING qualia", and it shows how to bridge 
the gap between the qualitative nature of consciousness and physical 
science, with absolutely no "METAPHYSICS".  It is all testable 
theoretical physics.  It is making predictions about what experimental 
science is about to show you for the first time.

I bet this is exactly how Galileo felt, when everyone was talking about 
how the sun went around them, instead of the other way around.

I am sure Galileo knew what future space travel would be like, where 
mankind was about to go, and the naive people in their small theoretical 
world, had no idea what dancing in the heavens would be like.  Instead 
of saying: "When I see 'qualia' raise its head again on this list I 
consider just taking a long break.", Galileo surely just herd: "When I 
hear about us going around the sun, I consider just taking a long break 
from, and censoring anything to do with such talkers.

Do you same old trichromats, have no interest, at all about how 
qualitatively different a bi chromat's, or tetrachromat's knowledge is?  
When someone thinks about a new blue they've never seen before, do you 
have no interest in what that new blue is like?

The paper, on the topic of "detecting qualia" predicts how you will soon 
know what this new blue you've never experienced before is, where it is, 
why it is, and most importantly, what it is like.

But, then, I guess you have no interest in such futuristic things. Your 
just happy siting there thinking that the sun really goes around you, 
and the redness for everyone, is exactly the same as your redness, and 
that it is the same thing as 650 NM light, and that you knowledge of the 
world is the same thing as the physical world out there.

Does anyone know how you can get the bleating herd to stop censoring new 
information and change directions, amplifying the wisdom of the crowd, 
faster?

I can't wait to see the look on all these clueless bleating sheep's 
face, when they experience a new blue tetrachromats use to represent 
what they only represent 3 primary colors with.  And they realize how 
evil they were to work so hard to censor this kind of stuff and keep the 
herd from better seeing and understanding their future, what they and 
the physical world are really like.


Oh well.

Oh, and I am sorry I am not as tactful and level headed as Anders.
