Isn’t is possible that the problem can’t be answered by science? E.g., if their central question is about consciousness, science may not be equipped to answer it. Science is concerned with objective evidence, and the hard problem of conscience deals with subjective experience.

If you definitionally can't answer the question then I am not sure why people who are living in the real world should spend much time on it. So my point stands. Unfalsifiable claims that are "not even wrong" aren't particularly useful when discussing actual things of importance, like what kinds of laws we should make. Keep that stuff to the introductory college philosophy classes, while the rest of us work on the stuff that actually matters.
- bumby 2y agoPlease elaborate on how you define what “actually matters.” It seems to me that subjective experience is one of those things, if you value experience at all. If you don’t, I’m not sure anything matters. And there’s plenty both within and without science that can’t (currently, at least) be defined. But it doesn’t mean they aren’t worth probing.
