If you’re not going to give reasons why you don’t think it’s a valuable ontology, then there’s nothing more to say.
The comment was clearly downvoted for political reasons. I should never have wasted so much time arguing with someone who had admitted they were mind-killed. Please don’t act like karma is remotely representative of the correctness of comments.
of course it was. the entire concept and topic of mansplaining is political. It’s overtly a status move, seeking to reduce the status of men explaining to women. We can ignore whether or not this should be the case, or whether the current disequilbirium in the splainosphere towards men doing the splaining is something that deserves to be corrected, but to say that “mansplaining” carves reality at any joints but political ones seems untrue to me.
I assure you that I am fully aware that sometimes also black people steal from black people, or white people from black people, or white people from white people, etc… but that is irrelevant here, because those acts just don’t have the same qualia.
“Qualia”? Goals, motivations, and revealed preferences (that is, the things that separate “explaining” from “mansplaining” and from “splaning” in general) aren’t qualia.
See the sibling thread. I’ve already wasted enough time on this without regurgitating it and promptly losing karma on another fools’ errand. Asking me to do so as if I haven’t already is disingenuous, as is implying my failure to comply with your demand means I’m unable to do so.
Sorry, I can’t seem to find it. Could you please quote it?
Everyone, please don’t downvote paper for answering this request, downvote the original thread if you feel the argument is downvote-worthy and haven’t already done so.

That’s all I was saying. For instance:
I never would have guessed that anyone could have meant that by “qualia”. I take it to mean the experiential aspect of the world.

I have, in fact, read the sibling thread, having done so before you linked to it. I’m re-reading it now in case I missed something.
