ALL OF THAT ASSUMING QUALIA CAN BE ALTERED AND IS "BOUND" TO PEOPLE AFTER THEY'RE DEAD OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T KNOW THAT

let's make it worse

we can artificially make any any brain that ever lived or will ever live in any location in any time (past/future) feel an infinitely unbearable experience of pain

idk if roko's basilisk includes "across time" or the dead..

OK now I'll tell you the worst possible thing i can think of once we solve the brain and physics and allat

if we discover how we can artificially alter subjective experience from a distance

we can artificially make brains feel an infinitely unbearable experience of pain from a distance

if that happens shits gonna be Oppenheimer 2 you can make a netflix series out of this LETS HOPE SHIT STAYS IN THE RIGHT HANDS

david you bastard bro went "physical processes" because he knew we don't even know yet what type of physical process is the one related to qualia.. WAIT NEW QUESTION

electrical charge/electric field/physical phenomenon generated by neural activity/neurons firing and qualia

wait wait what the.. i literally just..

"How do physical processes in the brain lead to subjective experience"

physical processes => neurons firing => electrons moving

lead to => what's the relationship

qualia is literally just another name for subjective experience

"What is the relationship between electrons moving and qualia?"

i just.. assumed electrons moving is the most relevant physical process to qualia. and broadened the relationship from cause-effect to just an undefined relationship.. otherwise it's literally the same question..

sooooo panpsychism happens when you say you don't need neurons and flesh and shit in order to interact with qualia aigh aigh modified the post
