And what if someone comes along and just calls it “qualia” anyways?




I can't really help it if people run around calling things other things. Language evolves!

So then your opinion is about as meaningful as theirs.

I don’t see a way for any passing reader to decide conclusively.


Language isn't meaningless just because it evolves. I literally cannot help it if people ignore history and start using words in new ways. Those who take precision seriously will adapt and adopt new words if needed.

This doesn’t make sense, how did you get “meaningless” out of someone else disagreeing with you?

You said, "So then your opinion is about as meaningful as theirs", after I said I can't help it if people use words the wrong way and language evolves... I don't think this is worth continuing. Have a good day.
