If we had a 100% understanding of which purported consciousness experience corresponded to which things happening in the brain, i think we would just declare victory. That's all there is to be explained. And thas. Would be very, very difficult to find out. But this is why i think that the hard problem is not going to be solved. It's just going to evaporate. The only obstacle appears if somehow you're persuaded that a priori isn't possible.
Welcome to the November 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
