this solution here isn't trying to transmit qualia directly (one of the functions of art) as there is always information loss and it can never be 100% verified as the same. the solution is to not assume even your most fundamental phenomenological experiences are universal, a epistemic humility.
It's similar to why white ppl need to defer to PoC when it comes to experiences of racism/anti-blackness/colonialism - I cannot have that qualia, and the horrors of that I can only deduce from my white perspective. It is an absolute knowledge to know I can't. Hence the importantance of listening.
