Ep. #16 - Experience, Knowledge and Qualia - a podcast by Eric Roark

If you knew every physical fact about the world but had only experienced the confines of a black and white room would you learn anything new when you see a ripe red tomato for the first time?  In this episode of the egg timer we take on this thought experiment and the threats to the physicalist world view that it poses.
