You think some two-bit internet atheist is going to convince me otherwise?
At the very least, what you can do is read on the position of some philosophers who disagree with qualia, like one of your own horsemen: Daniel Dennett in his book "Consciousness Explained".
So you're telling me that some philosophers, bound by their own biases, and neuroscientists, who are restricted to current diagnostics, can't discern how the conscious mind arises from brain electrical impulses?... cheeessssshhh.... I wonder why?
At the very least, I can do... nothing.
No, that's what your own ignorance is telling you.
You're no different from a creationist.
