Then tell me, John, the answer to the question I asked in my post
"q***** [that is, "qualia"]" on Tue, 14 Dec 1999 20:56:26 -0500
which I had so hoped would move our discussion forward, alas:
Is "now" a qualium?
You see, this is deliciously subtle, unlike the quibbles over color
sensations and wavelengths [which admittedly were important in
their day]. Please be bold -- be the first to address my question!
