I’m not granting cats a point of view for this discussion: they are something that we can agree clearly exists and we can describe their boundaries with a fair degree of precision.
What do these ‘extra effects’ look like, and are they themselves proof that physicalism is wrong?
The whole point was that if the cats have a point of view, then they have the information to posit themselves; even though an outside observer wouldn’t.
It’s subjective information. I can’t exactly show my qualia to you; I can describe them, but so can a p-zombie.
Didn’t I say I wasn’t going to discuss qualia with you until you actually knew what they were? Because you’re starting to look like a troll here. Not saying you are one, but …
So, you’re saying that it is subjective whether qualia have a point of view, or the ability to posit themselves?
Because I have all of the observations needed to say that cats exist, even if they don’t technically exist. I do not have the observations needed to say that there is a non-physical component to subjective experience.
Y’know, I did say I wasn’t going to discuss qualia with you unless you knew what they were. Do some damn research, then come back here and start arguments about them.

Are you saying that qualia have a point of view, or are positing themselves?

Who’s talking about non-physical components? “Qualia” has more than one meaning.
