Let's call it exqualibur. :Qualia Are :Shitty Perception :If I and my friend dave exqualibate the cow. We agree on precisely every conceivable detail about the cow. We decide there is no philosophical puzzle here, so instead we go out for smoothies and watch tv. :Note that qasp solves all classic philosophical qualia problems. Can we experience what it's like to be a bat? No, because bats have different shitty perceptions. :When you see what I perceive as blue, is it possible you're actually perceiving red? Hell yes! Because we have shitty perception. It would be fixed if we could exqualibate, but we are shitty, so we can't. :If mary were raised in a black and white world but learned about color, would she know what color is like? Yes! More so than people with color vision because mary's perception is even shittier :Can you have a philosophical zombie" that behaves like it feels qualia, but which has no rich internal experience.
