Agree regarding high order thought, but “qualia” seems to mean the contents of the subjective point of view? Based on SEP article. “There is something it is like for me to undergo each state, some phenomenology that it has. Philosophers often use the term ‘qualia’ (singular ‘quale’) to refer to the introspectively accessible, phenomenal aspects of our mental lives.”
I agree with this. I do think a materialist should be sympathetic to naturalized epistemology which includes developmental psychology as a source of information on what a human could possibly workably consider to be real (and, what they “actually consider to be real” in a psychological sense).

I don’t see if that is agreeing with my point or not.
