See this recent post by Jesse Mazer on the subject of David Chalmer's
"fading qualia" argument. I should emphasise that my response about the
possibility of being deluded into not noticing that the qualia were fading
is not really very plausible, being in actual clinical cases due to specific
neurological defects rather than general loss of brain function.
