Feels like yet again the distinction of “starting from where we factor out everything else”. I’m more uncertain about that than most proponents of both camps.
Maybe at some point it makes sense to say that I’m confused about what I feel, what my qualia are? But you have the uhh intention to go deeper and say “oh, you are confused, so you feel confusion instead of whatever you are confused about, case closed”. KInda god of the gaps style.
Also might be that the most cases of feeling things are very apparent, so that weird examples are rare and weird. Most feelings are like 2 + 2 = 4, you would have trouble imagining being confused or wrong about it. When you can readily imagine being confused about 74389 + 37423 = 113812
Then illusionist says “I have no idea what are you talking about, yes, pain and redness I feel them, but what’s so interesting about that, metaphysically? they are just states of my brain, duh, nothing special”. And I think it’s kinda weird that I’m here and feeling things? like, it just feels weird that it’s a thing?
