Qualia

In philosophy, qualia (/ˈkwɑːliə/ or /ˈkweɪliə/; singular form: quale) are individual instances of subjective, conscious experience. The term "qualia" derives from the Latin neuter plural form (qualia) of the Latin adjective quālis (Latin pronunciation: [ˈkwaːlis]) meaning "of what sort" or "of what kind"). Examples of qualia include the pain of a headache, the taste of wine, or the perceived redness of an evening sky. As qualitative characters of sensation, qualia stand in contrast to "propositional attitudes".

Daniel Dennett (b. 1942), American philosopher and cognitive scientist, regards qualia as "an unfamiliar term for something that could not be more familiar to each of us: the ways things seem to us".

Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961), the famous physicist, had this counter-materialist take:

Much of the debate over their importance hinges on the definition of the term, and various philosophers emphasize or deny the existence of certain features of qualia. As such, the nature and existence of qualia remain controversial.

    7 1-2 Years

    by: Gil

    I just hung up the phone
    I was talking to you
    We said good bye
    I sat down and cry
    Coz' I remembered the things
    That we've done
    When we were sitting together
    And our love has begun
    For more and more
    I want to go back in time
    I'll always love you
    I hope you know
    But on and on
    I need to wait
    Chorus:
    7 1/2 years that was our pact
    7 1/2 years there is no turning back
    7 1/2 years till I get to see you again
    I am looking at the pictures
    Of me and you
    Both of us were smiling
    For this damn photo-shoot
    That was the day when it all began
    But all I want to now
    Is to see you again
    For more and more
    I want to go back in time
    I'll always love you
    I hope you know
    But on and on
    I need to wait
