@Koenfucius this reminds me of this article: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/05
Would have been very reasonable if we didn't have all the insights e.g. from educational research. Take phenomenography (variation theory) or design-based research as examples. But we do have these and with them pretending there's no subjective experience feels reductionist to me.

@Koenfucius and yes, these do not "escape scientific consideration". Rather, taking in the lab, and out of their real-world context, renders them meaningless
