Since you like quoting people:
"Reasoning will never make a Man correct an ill Opinion, which by Reasoning he never acquired."
- Jonathan Swift, 1721.

What is this redness of red?

Hard materialism may indeed be flawed but that’s no gap for you to drive your lorry load of magical thinking into. That is the agenda here.
Emergence is a fascinating philosophical topic but form says we are not in for such an interesting discussion here.

Cant you feel it?

Does an understanding of atoms explain sand dunes?
Feel what?

Buckle up Folks, we will be blessed with numerous threads like this and the last one.

Off you go then. In your own words or a link with summary. How does an understanding of atomic theory explain the shifting patterns of dunes in the Sahara.
So you feel that you can only see it.

This is what happens when you feel resentment towards marginalisation of your wishful thinking by science and then discover philosophy crib note videos on YouTube.
By observing their behaviour from the bottom up until you meet the atoms of the air.

No. You're abusing the word "feel" by using it to refer to something other than any of its accepted meanings. The result is that you're talking gibberish.
Dave
How do you define it and in what sense am I talking gibberish?

Thats just reductionist optimism that you would selectively apply to this example but not qualia. Selectively because this is a cherry picking exercise and not honest inquiry. I asked for an explanation of the like you asked for here. You wont accept such dodging but you will offer it.
