All of which are things we can explain without any magic.

The literature on qualia pretty much has the same problem as the literature on consciousness.

Who said anything about "magic"? That's straw-manning the literature on qualia. I'd like to hear your explanations for our sensations, because I'm not aware of any that actually explains them.

Pick up any introductory textbook on functional neuroanatomy. I recommend Blumenfeld!
