But the fact he thinks qualia is an illusion just demonstrates that he is talking nonsense.
He does the same with free will. He thinks he's purifying a subject by not using an old folk lore definition. But the correct response is to tell someone how their understanding is wrong.... not to redefine matters altogether.
It's literally impossible to be wrong about the fact one has qualia and phenomenology.
Watch this. Galen Strawson explains clearly and plainly how Dennett is talking nonsense (he also quotes Dennett too and explains how nonsensical it is).
If you think consciousness is an illusion you may as well think circles have 4 sides.
It's the most certainly known fact in the universe. Beyond any science. The fact that oneself is conscious is the only thing you can know 100% to a guarantee outside tautologies.
