My original comment was intended as a (apparently failed) sarcasm, given that the RolfAndreassen's argument
has no testable predictions. Qualia is no better concept than a p-zombie.
I got that it was sarcastic. I was sortof sarcastically picking at your sarcasm-logic.
Yes I know. What would the non-qualia case even feel like? What does it even mean for red to have a redness to it, besides the fact that it is distinguishable from green and connected to a bunch of other concepts?
The closest analog I have for this is how it felt to not feel like I had free will, which I discuss here. I imagine not feeling like I have qualia would be a similar experience of not having my sense of personal identity engaged with my sense of perceiving red.
