Most popular articles directly prescribe relevant things to do in your day to day life.
Yours don't really.
The Qualia sequence is pretty much correct, but I feel like it was a bit drawn out. The agent networks are interesting, but I think that you could get most of the (directly relevant to qualia) information out of the idea that there's a particular neural activation pattern for red that you can't activate through learning lots of things about how humans perceive red.
If that pattern was standard between humans, you could probably get a congenitally blind person to see red through transcranial magnetic stimulation, or sufficient LSD. Or other hallucinogens.
Proscribe may mean the opposite of what you intend (prescribe).
Heh, true.
While some popular posts are pretty harsh on a particular behavior, they don't seem to condemn the idea of relevance.
Thanks. I do still think that some discussion of conscious/unconscious minds is needed for explaining why colors feel ineffable (and why it seems an equivocation to ask whether Mary learned something), but I probably could have taken a simpler first pass...
