Why is it that you can't acknowledge that you don't know what ANYTHING is
if you reject the notion that a chain of "why" questions must come to a end
and you ALSO eject the notion that a chain of "why" questions must NOT come
to a end?

So you know what qualia is after all! Qualia is what I've been saying all
along, it's a label, and a label gives us knowledge of the insides of a
jar. Of course you will be dissatisfied with "qualia is knowledge of
reality" because you will undoubtedly find an implicit "why" question
lurking in that simple statement and you reject the existence of brute
facts.

I disagree, I think the entire universe is pretty weird, that's what makes
it fun.
