I quite agree with Strawson that physics, and science in general,
doesn't tell us about the ding und sich of consciousness or anything
else. But I notice that he completely avoids any similar level
description or definition of qualia. Over and over he says "You know
what I mean." So his denial adds nothing. In contrast the idea that
consciousness is a particular kind of computation does lead
somewhere...it leads to AI and analysis and possibly even repair of
brains. It leads to consciousness engineering.
The student questions are quite good...better than Strawson's answers.

"there is no conflict between a ‘hard-nosed’
physicalist/materialist/naturalistic scientific approach to the world
and all-out belief in the reality of consciousness, conscious
experience, good old fashioned qualia - whatever you want to call it
or them"
