Before I really reply could you explain what you mean by " and relatively less third person models of anything." and "or else we wouldn't have that third person ability."
Do you mean thoughts that you experience, that obvisously aren't direct perceptions from your senses?
No, that wouldn;t be an issue of perspective. A third person experience...an experience of yourself as viewed from a distance in realtion to other things. Like placing yourself on a map. That is a direct perception of your senses...it's just arranged in a different way in the simulation we call perspective from, say, 1st person. You know where you are on that map because you can see both the map and your surroundings. You know what you look like, you know what trees look like. You've seen a creek. Now, our brains can obviously arrange all of this information into the "little man behind the eyes" pov...but they can also step back and give us the bird overhead view.
"So there is this function happening in the brain, looking at it from third pserson perspective. Also, there are qualia happening from a first person perspective at the same time. Would you say the function happening in the brain wouldn't work if there weren't qualia from a first person perspective?"
You wouldn't deny that there is brain activity, right? Now would they work without there being qualia?
