Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I don't really disagree with anything you laid out here.
I'll just add that I think we don't yet have the conceptual frameworks to fully describe (and by extension - understand) the problem in the first place.

Yes, strong emergence seems like magic, as does dualism. But if there is no magic, consciousness feels like the closest thing to it; so who knows?
