Indeed my friend. Theres the question no psychologian can give a real answer. If you start cutting the brain, where can you find the qualia? We are all made out of the same matter, same energy so theres nothing to distinguish as in a material level. If consciousness would ever be found in matter it would create a great paradox with the self evident, your subjective consciousness. You cannot explain it away no matter how hard logic you are going to use.

It's so good to see how scientists, unlike philosophers, don't try to sidestep the issue...

So, is Ramachandran saying that qualia and self are a tangled heirarchy, like a chicken-or-the-egg type thing?

@nothingnesswithouten Worse than sad. Ramachandran is a international jewel. To put that immoral creep's near his is a travesty.
