RE: Would sexual attraction exist without qualia?

But why you've decided to use Bohr? Why not Everett? Maybe you can experience knowledge of the precise location of a particle in space. You just need to exist in the right universe.

About immortality. Mind downloading isn't the only option. We may gradually become cyborgs. That may give us time to take us with us into the Shell.

You miss the point. There is no such thing as a precise location in space in any observable universe. Think of it like this, what is the color blue if there is nothing to experience color?

No location in space in any observable universe? But according to David Deutsch's interpretation of Everett's many worlds theory " “The entire multiversal photon is indeed an extended object (wave), while instances of it (particles, in histories) are localized.” (The Beginning of Infinity, p. 275). This is the 'location of a particle' I was referring to when I said 'Maybe you can experience knowledge of the precise location of a particle in space'.

What I'm missing here? Can you elaborate a little?

Let me also explain my intentions. Your 'qualia - measurement problem' analogy is great, I'm just asking if (and how) it may work outside the Copenhagen interpretation. Or at least I hope that is what I'm doing :)

P. S. It's page 309, my mistake, I'm sorry.
