It's great to hear people finding a new color, but am I wrong for thinking they are completely qualia blind, and only focusing on the 010 pattern on the retina, not what has the "olo"ness quality? i.e. you could engineer the system to interpret 010 with any quality, including your redness...

Why is nobody asking the simple question: "Which of all our descriptions of stuff in the brain is a description of this olo ness, or redness, or any other quality?"

What would such a program of investigation look like? And is it even possible with today's technology?
