We know that consciousness is a physical process because it is a by product of the brain that is a physical
organ. Beyond that we know nothing or nothing which can be subject to potential falsification to determine
whether it is objectively true or not. But we should not be puzzled as to why we cannot figure it out because
we have been so here many times before. Not all phenomena are immediately understood so consciousness is
just one of many which we either did not or do not understand. So do not expect primate brains to under stand
something as complex as that with out some seriously heavy thinking about it first. But even then do not assume
those primate brains shall have it cracked because they may not. Knowledge acquisition is a work in progress both
for us as individuals and as a species. As we accumulate it over time it is not a given that every thing shall be under
stood and indeed there are things that can never be understood. And consciousness could very easily be one of them
