How much interest have you shown in "learning from" -- ie, agreeing with -- DP? Think about how your framed the statement, and possible biases therein.

ETA: The whole shebang is a combination of qualia and morality--two areas notorious for lack of clarity and consensus. "I am definitely right, and all must learn form me" is not a good heuristic here.

Quite so. I have learned a lot about the topic of qualia and morality, among others, while hanging around this place. I would be happy to learn from DP, if what he says here were not rehashed old arguments Eliezer and others addressed several times before. Again, I could be missing something, but if so, he does not make it easy to figure out what it is.
