Excellent description of this fundamental mystery at the root of consciousness studies..

The bigger mystery? How did the conscious construction of the outer world, and the containing physical world itself, become so interchangeable---so seamlessly mistakeable--for each other? There was never any survival advantage to noticing their difference. It became a necessary illusion, like seeing ourselves in the mirror, and was programmed into our genes for millions of years. It required the evolution of certain kind of mind called a philosopher to expose their inherent differences.
