>>14253006If you want a good example of something that would be a subjective experience, this is a good way to think about it:
Imagine two brains are exactly atomically equivalent in every way. Brain 1 and Brain 2. They both look at a wavelength of light that vibrates at 650nm, what we call "red" light. They both have an "internal subjective experience" of the light.
Now here are the two situations that dilineate objectivity vs. subjectivity in a way that may make it easy to understand.
Case 1: The two brains internal experience of the qualia of the light are exactly equivalent, because there is no such thing as a subjective experience. They both percieve the light in the same way.
Case 2: The internal subjective experience that brain 1 has when it sees the light, is the same experience that brain 2 sees when it sees BLUE light. They both refer to the light vibrating at 650 verts as "red" light, because that's what they've been taught to call it, but they do NOT experience the actual same qualitative sensation when they see the light. What we would call "blue" light is how brain 2 experiences light at 650nm, etc. So the two brains, despite being exactly the same, do NOT have the same internal experience, because the internal experience is not objective, it is subjective.
There is NOTHING about this that is a semantics argument.
