Do people here expect to be surprised by whatever it takes to understand qualia?
On one hand the answer is no: I don’t expect a deviation from reductionism or even the birth of a completely new branch of science (like nuclear physics in the sun example).
On the other hand I expect that, on the path of properly understanding the arising of consciousness we will learn something surprising about complex systems.
