> jackson is the one who likes qualia, isn't he? I have to say: Ask me about qualia when I'm on a lot of Ritalin. Otherwise I don't notice them.
heh heh.
Jackson doesn't like qualia, he doesn't like them at all any more.
Everyone remembers him for 'black and white mary' and they think he is a qualia freak (aka dualist). The argument has been appropriated by dualists as one of their better arguments. But he isn't a dualist! But people think he must be! He loathes and detests it when people go up to him and say 'I loved your black and white mary argument'. You can see him grit and gnash his teeth. I learned this the hard way. He most sincerely regrets having written that and he has been trying to trash the darned thing ever since.
I'll tell him to stay away from ritalin...
