Note: I am generally outgoing, fun-loving, and happy to participate in podcasts, events, interviews, and miscellaneous activities. Feel free to invite me to your podcast/interview/theater/etc. I am flexible when it comes to content; anything I’ve written about in Qualia Computing is fair game for discussion. Infinite bliss!
I am fascinated by your ideas and your philosophy. And also that of like thinkers such as your friend David Pearce. I would be interested to hear more about your actual progress. While I much appreciate Tononi, I can see that you and your colleague go a much needed step beyond that. What progress are you two making towards the quantification of qualia? What is your current programme? Where are you headed for the rest of the year?
