Are you trolling Stathis? When did your far-fetched assumption of
elemental qualia become a fact? You have deluded yourself. In your
mind, material qualia supports Representational Qualia Theory and
therefore must be true. That is not at all scientific and isn't even
tenable philosophically.
Your notion of "elemental redness" aka glutamate being experienced by
a bat echo-locating a moth is ridiculous. MSG contains glutamate, but
Chinese food does not taste at all "red" to me but does taste savory.
How could that be if glutamate was elemental redness? Is it also
elemental savoriness? If I rub glutamate between between my fingers
does it because elemental courseness? There is no redness that is not
the simple knowledge of red and knowledge is simply remembered
information.
