Feelings (emotions not sensory like touch or sight) are experienced are they not? Not the other way around. As in you observe your feelings; not you tell yourself what to feel.
The problem is how any subjective experience relates to the physics of the particles that make up our brains.
I feel hungry and so I eat. But how did that feeling cause the result? My brain particles would have done the same thing (because physics) even if I were an unconscious zombie.
Because feeling hungry stops when you eat? Presumably your body was taught this when you were a child.
An unconscious zombie might eat but it would be eating human brains. Generally Cannibalism, especially of neural tissue, can lead to prion disease.
The part that separates us from the animals as far as I am aware is language.
Here are people that were not raised by humans, they seem to have an inability to adapt to human society if they develop past a certain age without reintegration with humans:
So what's the problem again?
