Seeing Red: Dissolving Mary's Room and Qualia
PaddyC16d10

Thinking about qualia in examples where there are only two comparable options eg black and white , could the isness of the black and white be qualitative and how does qualia relate to objects in space ? Eg where black ends and white begins ? I think there was an article about this online.
Another example could be hot and cold. But does the danger to life in extreme examples of hot and cold suggest qualia is false or is there room for subjective perception within physical extremes ?n

Think of qualia in terms of the position or orientation of objects in space eg in a black and white picture how does the division between the white and black segments relate to qualia in other words what are the limits to subjective perception ? In terms of brain chemistry this relates to neurotransmitters with the chemistry of subjective perception remaining elusive and unable to be quantified by methods such as blood tests. It is illogical to think all perception is subjective and also serving to hide our true nature because as sentient beings we manage to interact functionally and share space in the phenomenal universe.

Does the fact this level of understanding of colour blindness is known and that for example the black and white type of colour blindness is observable and verifiable and contains no colours other than black and white , does this prove subjective perception is false or is there still an intrinsic isness that is unique to the individual ?

This notion of a universe not based on subjective perception raises questions about is the universe consciousness based which I think the answer would have to be no unless we are all made of the same mind stuff that gives us common yet mind generated perception.
