Does the scientific method require us to be conscious in order for it to work? If qualia are an illusion, then aren't all experimental data also illusory?

hey idc about your thread but I wanted you to know that you're actually retarded

qualia isnt real but the world still is, we all might see red as a totally different color but its a fact that our eyes are all responding to the same frequency of light.

color is just a useful abstraction for life, our eyes/brain could technically render every color as its perceived wavelength as a number, but thats be weird arbitrary abstract and gay.

Wtf are you schizo'ing about, bot?
Ever heard of a scientist do an experiment while asleep? Ever hear of one writing a thesis in their sleep? Hear of that famous scientist that wrote twelve papers while in a coma? How's about the scientist that died, but possessed a chalkboard to teach lectures?

No one would disagree that there's a difference between a person wide awake and reacting to things, and one that's anesthetized and completely unresponsive.
When you assert there's some untestable, unfalsifiable, borderline-paranormal, and frankly pointless woo-woo aspect to that difference, you've got a problem. A problem in your head.

How do you know this if you don't have qualia?

The scientific method is untestable, and unfalsifiable. Some people have never even heard of it, but live better lives than you or me. Why are you privileging it like this?

He's right, though. He's just fucking obnoxious.
