James, we totally agree, at least on this!
For me the most irritating problem is what makes us "see" this partial view
of reality, I mean what bounds this view. What forbids to perceive multiple
realities in the conscious process ? It means that somehow the existence of
consciousness is linked to macroscopic, quasi classical states, but these
states have no precise definition, because they all allow some "quantum
fuzziness". So it very hard to link a precise conscious state to a precise
physical state, but it is also hard to quantify how fuzzy our physical
state can be...
