The hard problem of consciousness

[integral]

I just realized where this problem comes from:

It's when a materialist thinks that all of their experiences are filtered through a brain that is conscious. They realize that there is no separation between the object and the subject, that they are permanently entangled with whatever they're observing, they cannot do anything separate from their conscious experience. If they have any kind of discovery about the laws of physics or anything within reality it's all being filtered through a brain through consciousness. So its all "tainted". And so this hard problem is the materialist attempting to separate consciousness from the equation.

What happens is the materialist gets stuck between materialism and idealism, and can't find a way out of it.

And the more they think about it the more they become idealists, so of course they justify it all the way and Retreat into materialism.

This all happens because they were brainwashed into materialism to begin with. If they're starting point was idealism they wouldn't have this problem, but then again I'm sure they would have a different kind of problem, "the soft problem of consciousness" lol
