Is the hard problem of consciousness—the “qualia”, the qualitative, subjective aspects of our conscious experience, that escape scientific consideration—actually the *impossible* problem? George Musser doesn’t think so—we just need to approach it differently:

@Koenfucius this reminds me of this article: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/055624v2
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
