QESM does not fit under the subjective mind is made of qualia (SMQ) camp for the simple and important reason that QESM holds that the subjective mind is more than qualia. They are alternative, overlapping views: neither is a sub-camp of the other. It is legitimate to assert that all there is to the subjective mind is qualia (though, obviously, i think that is not true).
What is needed at this level, given the topic question, are two camps: for and against the topic proposition. QESM and SMQ both belong under the for camp.
I would also suggest rephrasing the SMQ camp statement which talks about trash or trashy. How about "speculative"?
