“Hard problems are the opposite of easy problems. Dissecting them to fit into existing scientific dogmas is almost impossible.”
Dissecting the hard problem of consciousness is absolutely impossible to fit into existing scientific dogmas.
Science is a self-correcting process of accommodating new data and scientific facts into descriptive models. The scientific process is an essential tool in solving the hard problem of consciousness.
Scientific Dogma, in contrast, is a belief system, based on an interpretation of experimental facts. Existing scientific dogmas are rooted in physics. They assert that physical reality is deterministic, and this is fundamentally incompatible with free will.
Solving the hard problem of consciousness requires recognizing free will. In https://harrison-69935.medium.com/the-physical-reality-of-free-will-a-conversation-f979b3a2df41, I discuss the conceptual foundation of indeterminism and the relationship between free will and randomness.
