Yes. Once I define qualia as “conscious experience”, I necessarily have to leave it out of the definition of “consciousness” (whatever that may be).
My point is that only the question of consciousness remains. And consciousness is worth talking about only if human brains exhibit it.
I am not trying to solve the question of qualia, I am trying to dissolve it as improper.
P.S. Do you mind tabooing “qualia” in any further discission? This way I can be sure we are talking about the same thing.
