I think your use of ‘problem’ subtends a subtle bias. We tend to take ‘science’ as the golden standard of knowledge, and I’m all for that, but when dealing with human cognitiuon it kind of breaks down anyway because we find ourselves dealing with qualia sooner or later anyway. Expecting falsifiability at the basis of the the cognitive pyramid is, at least for the foreseeable non-cyberpunk future, a bit of a stretch.

- dredmorbius 7y agoIn the case of qualia, whilst we cannot make direct measurements, we can make indirect measurements, most especially of behaviour in response to some stimulus or phenomenon. Though that can also go poorly. Microeconomics is based on the foundation of the qualia of utility, as an example. Which presents numerous problems.
