    It is not necessary, in fact it is impossible, to reconcile qualia except to the extent that they affect the material world.

    Thanks for conceding I guess.

      If you read that as a concession then you will find the same concession several posts ago.

      If qualia do not affect the material world, then it is not possible to say for certain (as you have) that two people have identical experience of color. The fact that qualia do not affect the material world was the starting point not the conclusion.

        This time with extra emphasis:

          Correct, if this is your view then you should not have started the thread complaining about other people's interpretations.

            If you can prove it, it isn't qualia, right?

            TIL asking a yes or no question is complaining.

                I must have missed that part.
