Either

[jayjacobus]

Experience is related to matter activity. Matter either creates experience or it creates qualia which this can be experienced by an experiencer. Which one do you think is the correct one? And why?

Qualia is the consciousness' reaction to a sense but a sense is a frame of reference for reality. This is why we have senses. We need references to understand reality. Neither does matter create experience. But it is the referrent(s) for the senses.

I didn't say that quite right. Let me restate the last two sentences. Events through the senses create experiences. Without events there won't be anything to experience and without senses there won't be any represetations to experience.

all you have is the impression, that does not prove externality...

-Imp

Do you believe that nothing can affect you?

"something" could be a hallucination...

-Imp

Aha hallucination. Hallucination is the result of your brain activity. You can distinguish between hallucination and something real. Could the chair you are sitting on it right now be a hallucination?

Senses are apparatus which connect us to reality. That is brain which either creates experience or qualia.

The brain creates senses which are neither experience nor qualia and that can be determined in any dictionary.

it could be a dream

one only has access to the impression, not the thing in itself

[jayjacobus]

The impression is a representation of SOMEthing.

Brain create sense of something. There is however an apparatus which connect brain to the environment. So you believe that brain directly creates experience. Why?

Could you please answer to the following question instead of repeating your position? Can you get affected by nothing?

[bahman]

The impression is a representation of SOMEthing.

Yes.

impressions of space and time can affect those on which they impress

the only access is to the impression

We are reasoning here. I agree that we don't have direct access to reality. But reality should be something and not nothing. Therefore reality exists.

[gaffo]

perhaps one day Kant would suggest it

-Imp

"the thing in itself is unknowable" refutes itself.

actually, it doesn't

you have perceptions, nothing besides

are your perceptions of an external thing? prove it

-Imp

solipsism - yes. nothing more can be known in this life.

so "they" say.

You can distinguish between hallucination and something real.

no you can't.

to think you can only shows you've never been under the influence of an halucingen.

"reality" changes for a few hours.

Could the chair you are sitting on it right now be a hallucination?

sure can.

you are me just talking to me - all i see/hear/smell/feel/etc is a product of my "mind" (being - right here right now), including that chair you claim as "real".

[gaffo]

Senses are apparatus which connect us to reality. That is brain which either creates experience or qualia.

you make assumptions upon the nature of "senses" and "reality" that empirically cannot be backed up.

[gaffo]

Brain create sense of something.

that is Faith talking.

There is however an apparatus which connect brain to the environment.

note another faith in a distiction of the two above and that the latter actually "Exists" (per your faith) outside yourself (myself of course)
