If you give up because you announce the phenomenon cannot be explained, you are missing out.

It seems probable that humans have been on the planet, with much the same brain, for about 250,000 years.

The neuroscience of consciousness is not going to stop in its tracks because some philosophers guesses that project cannot be productive.
