Now I just know this article is wrong:
"But explaining things that reside “only in consciousness”—the red of a sunset, say, or the bitter taste of a lemon—has proven far more difficult"
Lemons are sour, damn it, not bitter! Lemons are part of the universe and sour, so any consciousness that perceives them as bitter is not part of the universe. /s
Maybe they've only eaten lemon skin? Which is definitely bitter
You gotta start somewhere..
