What's your position regarding consciousness? Broad physicalism (we'll have a scientific explanation one day) or broad anti-physicalism (science can't give a complete account)? Or something else?

Please repost after voting, I'm genuinely curious! 🤔

I can't imagine what a scientific explanation would look like, or how we would know that it was correct, but I also have no reason (other than that) to think we won't someday have one.

Everything we know about the physical world is derived from the contents of consciousness; completing the loop and explaining consciousness in terms of the physical world would be cool. :) But I can't sketch out how it would work.

(Where by "consciousness" I mean subjective experience, not easy stuff that can be straightforwardly measured objectively.)
