Yeah I am not happy about the way I'm being received. Any advice, other than avoiding interesting meta-ethics questions?

Wrt how new it is: how about if I put it this way:

Maybe experience is fundamentally not a function of brain state, but a function of brain state over time. Note that this is not strongly anti-physicalism. Especially if you believe in discrete time, in which case you can have experience be a function of the transitions that occur between states in successive time-steps:

Experience = f(s{t}, s{t-1}).
