Consciousness Explained does try to explain why people have the idea of qualia.
The next post Porter needs to do on this is one explicitly addressing the position Dennett sets out in Consciousness Explained. That position is certainly popular enough here on LW that I don’t see how we’re going to have a useful discussion until he makes that post. I’m disappointed that that wasn’t the conclusion he drew from the previous discussion.

That is going to be a while, he has dropped to 26 karma and is not a frequent poster.
