The Qualia Quotient is a simple scale with which we can measure the quality of our lives.

We must lower or raise our Participation or our Interest Level in various landscapes (work, family, hobbies, etc.)

Interest Level
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Participation Level
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

The goal is get our Interest and Participation levels to match up — Ideally, at 5 and 5, a perfect balance — equilibrium!.

All animals, except us humans, have evolved into an equilibrium with their landscapes. We have evolved out of equilibrium with ecosystems.
