Prove that qualia exist? Actually I can't. Neither can you. But then you have to be a solipsist since nothing subjective can exist in anyone else can exist except yourself. So as a materialist the most rational position to take would be one of a solipsist. Are you a solipsist? I doubt it.
How convenient, it cannot be observed, tested, the knowledge cannot be shared, it's like a great con. Why do these magical qualia not existing in any way imply that there can be no subjective experience? Well, it doesn't. There is absolutely no reason that they need to exist for there to be subjective experience. You even made a contradiction, saying that this line of thought means only I exist but nothing is subjective; well if only I exist then everything is completely subjective, which is ridiculous line of thought. Rethink your reasoning here.
Subjective experience could easily be explained by the fact we are genetically different and our brains do not react in the exact same way. Again, there is no black magic behind depression, it is simply one's brain working in a different way than anothers.
Dude, even Dennett admits there are qualia. Even he has said to ignore it since it's impossible to study. I'm not inventing ****. And it still doesn't explain why color exists, just that it appears when different forms interact with each other. Magic appears according to you and him. And even if they were illusions, an illusion implies someone is being fooled. What exactly is being fooled if consciousness itself is an illusion?
So most disagree with Dennett according to you, and Dennett believes in qualia, therefore most accept qualia? Do you understand contradictions are not logical and are not going to prove true? Be consistent.
Nobody is claiming that consciousness is an illusion. Consciousness obviously exists, just like emotions obviously exist. So, what you say here holds no merit, it is a straw man, yet another violation of reason.
Even if the color red causes the same reaction in people, it doesn't really explain how red comes about is explained. Again Dennett has failed miserably and I finally see now why most neuroscientists and philosophers studying consciousness disregard his arguments. He's only good for die hard materialists such as yourself, and of course Dawkins.
We know why we perceive red, we understand how color works. Here is a pretty straight forward little paper that was the very first result for my search on Google. If you took the time to try and look at this from a less magical perspective, though I understand many need the magical view in their lives, you could have easily learned how color works.
Color Vision - Scientific Explanation
If something is impossible to test but it exists, then it's just impossible to test. That doesn't make it a 'copout'. John Searle has argued that making such an assertion is a category error. Qualia are epistemically objective but ontologically subjective. In simple language it means just because you can't test out something through mathematics or logic doesn't mean it doesn't exist or it isn't true.
No, I am not saying it does not make it so, it is a perfectly crafted con that relies on itself being true to prove itself true. That is not logical. It is obvious that you have no value of logic, so I do not expect that to mean anything to you. However, if there is no way to observe, test, even hint at its existence, if the only reason to believe it exists is because the roundabout reasoning proves itself true, and then we accept that blindly nothing is accomplished. It isn't even worth talking about, and we should be trying to show how the brain works in testable, observable, logical ways.
Color exists. Sound exists. Love exists. They are irreducible. Like I said there are only two options for qualia. Either there is another property to the universe which is mental or all this is happening on a quantum level.
What do you mean here? We know how color works, we know how sound works, and we know how love works. We don't need to delve into either the quantum or magical world to understand any of them. And, when it comes down to quantum or magic, quantum will be true every time.
