Is consciousness truly the most incomprehensible, difficult problem

It's 2nd place at best.

The hardest is why anything exists at all.

We can't even organize ourselves well enough to get off this planet.

Do you honestly think in a million years we'll have the slightest clue why people experience consciousness?

We have a large portion of the population of earth starving, and completely destitute.

Politics is built around pleasing everybody in a country, and poorer nations are left out of this because of greed.

It's still common practice to hold onto primitive religious beliefs.

Particularly ones that cause war, and hold back research.

We are monkeys that still only live to succeed in mating, and gathering resources for ourselves to take care of our children.

If a natural disaster happened in space I really doubt a group of countries would organize themselves well enough to combat it.

We may not even have the tools because of our stupidity.

The 2 questions might be somewhat related, at the end of the day it might just be that nothingness simply breeds existence and our own perception might just be fundamentally wrong, similar to how we experience time as separate from spacetime.

I can imagine that in a few decades we'll have a way better understanding of the human brain, motivated by trying to connect the human brain to devices or the quest for better and better AI. This will in turn get us to start exploring different states of conciseness in scientific ways and maybe produce a scientific theory of our conciseness.

The human brain and its contents are pseudo-science.

Those aren't mutually exclusive. It might be a hard problem to solve, but that doesn't mean we can't eventually solve it. Or maybe we never will. Or maybe we'll conclude it actually is an emergent property that surpasses sheer materialist paradigms. Who fucking knows?

This is such a retarded, pseudo-intellectual thing to say.

When it was deemed "worth it" for military/political reasons, humanity went from primitive, wood-and-paper diesel biplanes, to jet fighters in 40 years. 25 years later, men went to the Moon and back.

Nowadays manned space exploration makes no sense.
If it's not necessary, if it's VERY expensive with no prospect of profit - why would anyone do it? Just so that pseudo-intellectuals like you can circle-jerk about it on internet forums?

This is a complete red herring

It just so happens that a lot of the most dedicated autistically obsessive hard working people in the world ended up being serious about religion, and also about science and research. Religion didn't contribute anything it was the people themselves

You're ignoring how much religion has held us back, which is arguably so much we can't even quantify it. So many major historical atrocities based solely on religion
