I'm not sure where you're going with this. Are you implying that thinking about this problem is dangerous in itself? That would be absurd. We've been philosophizing about qualia or what it means to be human or whether we can even be certain anybody else shares the same experience of reality or even if they're human at all for centuries. I mean, what else does Descartes do in the process of his discourse? I don't think that's caused undue suffering in the same way that organized religion has.

All it shows is that after hundreds of years, we still don't know how to explain or quantify human consciousness.
