I think all this talk about qualia is pretty pointless when you finally realize that as far as we know, only organic brains, or synthetic organic brains, are possibly able to make them. How do we synthesize the biological processes of a brain? That is the question. I don't think it will happen with microchips or digital computers. It's probably way harder than that.

We need to understand the brain before we can hope to duplicate one. It's pretty naive, I think, to suppose that we can create one even before we know how they work.
