Irrationality game: Every thing which exists has subjective experience (80%). This includes things such as animals, plants, rocks, ideas, mathematics, the universe and any sub component of an aforementioned system.
How would one define subjective experience for rocks and atoms?
Defining subjective experience is hard for the same reason that defining red is hard, since they are direct experiences. However in this case I can't get around this by pointing at examples. So the only thing I can do is offer an alternative phrasing which suffers from the same problem:
If you accept that our experiences are what an algorithm feels like from on the inside then I am saying that everything feels like something from the inside.
