You seem very ill-disposed towards the subjective and qualia!    If the universe was devoid of consciousness, there would be no subjectivity or qualia, but there is consciousness so there is subjectivity and qualia.
One of the fundamental problems I've identified is that most people tend to conflate the terms "real" and "important", when, in-fact, they are mutually exclusive.

For example: "real" is defined as, "Being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verifiable existence.  True and actual; not imaginary, alleged, or ideal." - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=define+real&t=h_&atb=v79-2&ia=definition

What is "real" is quanta and quanta is meaningless.

All meaning, everything important, is qualia.

I'm not sure how you could characterize my attitude towards qualia as "very ill-disposed"(?) since I have repeatedly stated as clearly as possible, "quanta is meaningless and qualia is meaningful".

If a solipsist says he's a solipsist...who is he talking to?

I can imagine the following rumbling around in the mind of a solipsist speaking to someone...
"Please be real, please be real, please be real".
