Well for hot and cold, thinking physiologically, they infer much different responses. Cold boosts fat burning and metabolism because we are trying to warm up and the cells go nuts trying to get warm. When we are hot we are trying to shed temperature as much as possible so we are dumping water and salt. They can't be the same because our bodies would never react the same way, at least under normal circumstances, so I think it wouldn't make sense that they are not two different experiences. This ends up being two totally different things for our minds.

You are looking at it from the practical sense of being human - the only way we can look at these things. This is more from the practical sense of the universe - which doesn't have experience in the same way we do. A reaction is about movement across time, not the "now".
This article is super impractical to live life by, but it gets me thinking a bit because I can kind of shut my brain off from conscious thought at will. So, in those moments, am I alive?
And, I believe that we can't actually live in the "now", because it is a timeless point and still and we experience through movement, as you mentioned.
As said - super impractical :D
