the property electrons have that you observe within yourself and want to call “conscious”-as-in-hard-problem-why-is-there-any-perspective is, imo, simply “exists”. existence is perspective-bearing. in other words, in my view, the hard problem is just the localitypilled version of “why is there something rather than nothing?”
This actually leads into why I feel drawn to Tegmark’s mathematical universe. It seems that regardless of whether or not my electrons are tagged with the “exists” xml tag, I would have no way of knowing that fact, and would think the same thoughts regardless, so I’m skeptical this word doesn’t get dissolved as we know more philosophy, so that we end up saying stuff like “yeah actually everything exists” or “well no, nothing exists”, and then derive our UDASSA without reference to “existence” as a primitive.
