>However, my suspicion is that the experience itself will remain not amenable to conceptual analysis I'm in total agreement with this as well. When I suggested looking into what is it that objectivity and subjectivity arise from, I wasn't referring to the "physical" explanation (which I assume will eventually be resolved, though not in the near future) but to the core of the hard problem of consciousness. My take on this is that when looked at closely, it will not be found within the domain of anything that can be conceptualised simply because it precedes concepts. Any concept requires consciousness to exist but not vice versa. Of course the usual argument at this point is something in the line of "so the sun didn't exist before any thinking animals existed?" To which my answer is that the sun as a concept didn't exist. Neither did hydrogen, electrons or wave functions. Only pure pre-concept reality existed, neither objective nor subjective, "waiting" for a mind to evolve and eventually form subjects. objects and concepts that with increasing accuracy describe how this reality functions, and then proceed to confuse this description of reality with reality...
