lets say we locate the entire source code to windows 2000. does that
disprove the existance of windows 2000? heh wtf. pardon my ignorance, but:
i lurked the entire first battle of the qualia war, and it still seems to
me that to use the terms "experience" and "Experience" supports a
meaningless distinction. it seems to me that, if the
"experience"/"Experience" distinction is to hold, we should call dim light
"light" and bright light "Light."
if i have no idea what i'm talking about, which could very well be the
case, please enlighten me, if you have the time, etc...
