What would the backlash be? Has “qualia” fallen out of favor among people who think being asleep == not being conscious? Frankly given that opening confusion I am surprised you’ve heard the word qualia.

Qualia is magical thinking. It implicitly assumes a Cartesian theater, and leads to infinite regress.

And yet here I am having continuous, direct interaction with subjective experience and yet I have zero evidence for a Cartesian theatre… simply claiming one implies the other is not the same as proving it.

Correct, you have no way to verify my claims, which is exactly my argument. Thanks!

It's like playing chess with a pigeon. My fault really.
