Right. podcast-host

And, you know, the move, which I think to me is a reasonable thing to assert, if you get that far with him, is he says, all right, if it seems to us that we have this kind of subjective experience that cannot be explained. podcast-host

through the materialist or the what did you say, Chris? podcast-host

I've forgotten the term. podcast-host

It's the the conditions, the dispensable conditions, or the what did you say that was Yeah, podcast-host

or discriminatory states? podcast-host

That's what he'll use a lot. podcast-host

The discriminatory states. podcast-host

So you have this discriminatory state. podcast-host

And all of the external scientific explanation of that discriminatory state cannot account for or explain this seeming experience that you have. podcast-host

Then he says, okay, if you agree with that, the next logical thing would be to say, okay, where is that experience taking place? podcast-host

And that's the immediate trap. podcast-host

He says, Ah, we've already done away with this notion that there's a Cartesian theater where this kind of experience can be represented to us, that we can quote unquote have it. podcast-host

So immediately podcast-host

There's something suspicious here or there's something that should we should question, even if you say, and that's why it says it seems like we have it, but we just can't possibly have it. podcast-host

I'd like to clarify something before we end up spinning our wheels too much about the thermostat or whatever. podcast-host

Dylan made a really important point earlier where we talked about podcast-host

In order for this thing to potentially have this, what it's like, it has to have some kind of receptors. podcast-host

It has to have some kind of experience, quote unquote. podcast-host

So, a better question or example would be: the thermostat or the thermometer specifically, just it has something in it that reacts to the temperature of the air. podcast-host
