consciousness?

[Angrboda]

Now without mutual interaction, it doesn’t’ matter what felt experiences accompany the physical events.

The physicalist position is that "felt experiences" are physical events, and thus the mutual interaction is an accepted part of the explanation, leaving nothing extra to be accounted for.

Clearly, reality consists of both observable third-person facts and first-person qualitative experiences.

My objection here is usually greeted with a chorus of blank stares but I'll make it in spite of dim expectations for its reception. There is essentially zero evidence for the proposition that first-person qualitative experiences are a part of reality in the necessary sense. The only evidence we have for the facts of subjective experience are the claims of that subjectivity as to the veracity, nature, and content of its experience. Nowhere else in science is the existence of a "real" phenomenon so unilaterally accepted in the almost total absence of any actual empirical evidence.

Anyway, you may begin your interval of dumbfounded gaping at your leisure.
