You do have to prove me wrong, because your ideas and mine are diametrically opposed, and you are making assertions about the nature of qualia. So long as I'm not proven wrong, you aren't proven right. Not only that, my view is simpler-- that consciousness is a brute fact, something intrinsic to the makeup of the Universe. I've provided evidence-- the interactions of QM particles, which are the most basic material elements that we know of. Your evidence, I think, is more based on assumptions, and less on material observations, than mine is.
