PDJ at this point probably doesn't recognize that all of his objections are
dogmatic, they would work iff physicalism were false. :)))) Did anybody
else recognize that? He needs to assume dualism (substance dualism
actually) to make his objections.

Otherwise, I already explained how "red" could be tested with standard
neuroscience experiments. We might need finer electrode devices in the
future to do it in vivo, but in vivo spike recording was made with flies
etc. so there is no reason why it can't be done.

Cheers,
