Disproving this stupid problem.

Let's say I pick door 1 in this case. So far, I have 1/3 odds of getting the car, and Monty has 2/3. Monty opens door 3 which has a goat, and asks me if I want to switch doors. The thing though is that I am blind, and I can't see if that door had a goat or he's just offering me the car face on. And so I switch, to door number 3, not getting the car in the end. The 2/3 odds though accounts for me opening BOTH doors, which is against the rules.

I propose the problem of the hard problem is an error on both sides of the argument.
It occurred to me very recently when seeing that imagined and real sound exist in the same space and are only separated by the processes of the brain (e.g. the brain says this sound is the real one out there, this sound is in here). In actuality if the brain process stopped the two would intermingle and be impossible to distinguish in from out.
And then it occurred to me that there is neither an in or an out except from the perspective of our human self... In other words, qualia is as much of an object as a rock or neuron or solar system, and it is not that rocks are actually "in here" or that qualia is "out there", it is that it is NEITHER.
Because both are just objects.
Why this is important is because with the other views there are issues: If the brain isn't actually real why does altering it change my internal experience. Or vice versa a materialist standpoint... BUT if both things exist in the same exact place from an Absolute stance, then there is no difference between messing with the brain causing the color red to appear than there is hitting two conkers together and one of them moves.
Mind & matter being existent in actual and real distinct planes of reality creates a bridge that is impossible to cross... See imagine a swing set, when you move the seat the chains move. And we see that and think "DUH! That's just two connected objects, of course moving the seat moves the chains!"... Well if qualia and neurons are both just objects existent in the same plane like the swing seat and chains, then the fact changing the brain changes the experience is exactly as unsurprising as a swing seat moving the chains as it swings. The problem is rendered meaningless.
The problem only exists from a relative level, because as humans we say here is private experience in here, there is consensus shared reality out there. That is true for the HUMAN yes. But perhaps not true Absolutely.

Statistician is the sexiest job decade ahead from now. When you say statistician, its not mathematician nor computer scientist. What do you think about this?

>Anon, test the voltage on that 450V circuit
How?
>Just short it out with this thing
Obviously I didn't actually do this. But I'd like to know why shorting out circuits like this won't kill me or the electronics?

What can I, as a pure math graduate student (MS, plan on PhD afterwards), do to maximize my odds of reaching LEV?
Would it be an academic/industry career in ML/AI research? Work soulless jobs like being a quant and make $$? Transition to a career in bioinformatics?

Why do politician, TV scientist and technicians never offer any practical, actionable solution to the climate change crisis? It's always:
>stop eating meat
>don't have children
>drink from plastic straws
Despite the fact that we have been eating meat and having children for hundreds of thousands of years. Oh and plastic straws are not the chief cause of climate catastrophe. So what gives? Why won't experts stop complaining and just implement a viable solution?
