Quale is the singular

 


Richard Carrier´s atheist-materialist hypothesis about qualia. There is nothing mysterious about subjective experience, it´s just an inevitable outcome of a purely material computation. All senses are thus computations and they all evolved from touch, as suggested by scientific research into invertebrates, and so on. 

Oh, and "quale" is apparently singular for "qualia".   

Touch, all the way down: Qualia as computational discrimination
