Are you saying you think qualia is ontologically fundamental or that it isn’t real or what?
I’m saying that although it isn’t ontologically fundamental, our utility function might still build on it (it “feels real enough”), so we might have problems if we try to extrapolate said function to full generality.
If something is not ontologically fundamental and doesn’t reduce to anything which is, then that thing isn’t real.
