I was confused a bit in the beginning, like Joe. But now i understand a bit about what Goff was saying.
Imagine you give all the data on a piece of steak to someone. Sure, they know the ins and outs of that steak and can probably translate that taste into data, etc… but will that person truly know how does it tastes?
They started to advance in land surveying because of that mathematics. That lead them across the world. Navigators and land surveyors changed the world. They used the science available at the time and started a huge global economy.
Galileo felt that everything had to be proven and not use any emotion or your consciousness whatsoever. So he excluded consciousness or people will just make wild assumptions, as they had in the past.
Joe really struggled with that but its obvious: we cannot exhaustively explain any conscious experience in terms of a third person scientific, quantitative account. There is, in fact, an infinite qualitative difference between the experience on one hand and the felt quality on the other. You could study the neuroscience behind 'red' forever and yet you'd never have a red experience unless you look at a red object.
