Personally I think it's silly as hell. Qualia is obviously a biological component of experience... Not some weird thing that science will never be able to put in to words.

I've been listening to a lot of psychology podcasts lately and for some reason people seem obsessed with the idea despite you needing to make the same logical leaps to believe it as any sort of mysticism... Maybe I am just tripping idk

I only visit every now and again, I often take breaks. Mostly to keep myself from being too depressed about the number of years I might have left and the quality of them. I might want to pick your brain at some point though.

Honestly haven't brought it up to people irl too much, they would not be convinced anyway.

yea most people either don't care or don't believe you, and the few that do usually forget about it entirely the next time i see them...
