Subjectivity
DR. CHURCHLAND
Subjectivity has been highlighted as one of those things that it is forever beyond the reach of science. That is the prediction. Although there are many things we don't understand about subjectivity. It does involve having points of view that is having a perceptual perspective of the world that is dependent on where my perceptual system is in the world.

Many philosophers believe that the hardest problem of consciousness is the question of why every conscious state comes with qualitative and subjective feeling. Why should the brain processes give rise to those qualitative feelings that are seemingly unique to every individual? Philosophers call these qualitative feelings Qualia, the sensation of redness when we see red, the feeling of pain when we have pain, the funniness of humor when we feel, hear, or watch humorous things.
