The illusion of qualia (if they are indeed an illusion) could be a spandrel which is not subject to selection, only drift; it seems incredibly difficult to dispel on purpose (unlike e.g. the illusions of the self or free will, which both can be dispelled through enough meditation), so it’s not implausible that it’s actually genetic, which would be wild. I might decide to research more on this topic in the future, if so could I contact you?
