Mostly irrelevant to the OP, a question: how implausible do you see a claim that dualism is false (there's nothing irreducible in material models of our minds) and (at the same time) qualia (or phenomena as in constructs from qualia) are ontologically basic? (and, ergo, materialism i.e. material model is not ontologically basic).

I don't know. Probably very low, certainly less than 1%.

Hm, I realize that I might mean something different by “ontologically basic” from others.

Then, s/ontologic/empistemologic/g , i.e. “how implausible do you see a claim that dualism is false (…) and qualia (…) are epistemologically basic?”
