AFAIK brain damage/alterations to brain chemistry can't generate new qualia(new colors for example) which means that qualia is likely being generated somewhere outside of brain.
Have you ever tried altering your own brain chemistry using drugs to generate new qualia?
If not, then how would you know?

No, because scientists can't distinguish between p-zombie and conscious person.
Right. As I guessed.
You've decided on what you want to believe and that you aren't going to accept any evidence to the contrary.
So why should we bother trying to change your mind?
Or for that matter, even listening to you?
