Again I'll ask: is it the contention of determinists that subjective meaning does not exist and therefore choice is an illusion, therefore everything is determined? If so, I completely get why Horgan is so exasperated.I don't understand why you connect those things. Yes, subjective meaning exists. But free choice might still be an illusion.
By the way, the "mechanism" of brain processing of colour information is interesting but, IMHO, says nothing about subjectivity or qualia.
