I’m a foolish layman, but the problem of consciousness seems very easy to me. Probably because I’m a foolish layman.
Qualia are simply holes in our knowledge. The qualium or redness exists because your brain doesn’t record the details of the light. If you were built to feel its frequency, or the chemical composition of food and smells, you’d have qualia for those. It’s also possible to have qualia for things like “the network card driver crashing, SIAI damn I hate that”.
I don’t see why you need to think further than that.
