The subtle distinction here is David Chalmer's easy and hard problems of consciousness. The easy problem is what everyone can point to, and what we have ample evidence of what brain parts do what. The hard problem however, in my experience, is something not even educated adults even think about. It's so hard people sometimes can't even register the question itself.

It's just a feature of the universe that we have a cohesive private state of affairs that is our individual consciousness, but that is unequivocally tied to our brains and our perception system. It's probably not hard at all. It's weird and mysterious, but not hard.
