Hard Problem of Consciousness

How do you explain to philosophy faggots that there is no “hard problem” of consciousness, nothing about consciousness that implies it is impossible to explain scientifically? That it’s all soft problems, even if they are presently difficult and unknown?

I’m tired of having arguments with people who want to see Magic or some ineffable philosophy in everything. Literally had someone tell me that even if we could explain all the physical phenomena in matter that cause it and why it emerged in our evolution we still wouldn’t know “why” it existed. And then even said that understanding how gravity works, it’s effects and properties and how they emerge, doesn’t mean you can explain it.
“You can't explain gravity by appealing to gravity. What gives gravity its prescriptive ability? Who said that anything has to obey some invisible law of 'gravity'? Where did it originate?”

How do you talk to people who think material reality is second to endless wordplay? Should I just ignore “philosophers” or can you reason with them.
