But it *is* impossible. We are trying to understand our subjective experience (consciousness) with objective tools - that by definition is going to fall flat. Have you ever noticed how 100% of your conscious experience is happening in your subjective reality? The objective world is a useful idea, but just that, an idea. The problem is that we have grown too attached to it as somehow being "the truth", when literally everything about our experience says otherwise.

Another problem is that we have grown too attached to the mind as somehow being "more than physics", when litterally everything about our tested knowledge says otherwise.
The notion of "objectivity" is at least as much artificial as the notion of "subjectivity". This is not a basis for a definitive answer about what science can and cannot do.

I totally agree with what you've said. Thanks you for giving us such a fantastic argument against nonphysicalistic consciousness. It shows beyond a doubt that physicalism is true, and obviously so.
