It fails the criteria of objectivity by definition? Not because "it's mind".
We treat walls as solid, too, how does that play out?
I don't personally have any issues with considering mental events objects. That won't make gazing at the back of the veil less subjective. A subjective appraisal of mental objects..still subjective. The entire point of studying consciousness in a scientific context is to craft objective statements about those mental objects. More than "it feels like to me". You may also not have gotten it exactly right when you posit that, to brain watchers, it's all nonsense happening in a black box. In fact, you may have gotten that exactly wrong. Brain watchers don't seem to think it's nonsense -or- a black box. It'd be hard to explain why they spend all their time watching if they thought as much.
Is it important to get things right, do you think?
