Do you disagree with any of this?

I certainly think about things differently:

1'. There is a world, which includes subjective experiences, and (presumably) things which are not subjective experiences.

2'. All information I have about the world, including the subjective experiences of other people, comes through my subjective experiences.

3'. I possess mathematical/physical theories which appear adequate to describe much of the posited world to varying degrees, but which do not refer to subjective experiences.

4'. Subjective experiences are causally consequential; they are affected by sensation and they affect behavior, among other things.

5'. The way the world actually is and the way the world actually works is a little more complicated than any theory I currently possess.
