I can understand why a particular neuron might fire when I (that is my body) looks at, for example, a cat. But I don't see any explanation for why a particular neuron firing could cause me (that is my conciousness) to perceive a cat. I think that it is very likely that the neutron causes me (my conciousness) to see a cat, but it appears that we don't have the slightest idea why.

Your neurons are the basis of consciousness. One neuron firing affects and sets off other neurons. The aggregate affects of all these neurons is what you perceive as a cat.

Self-evidently, we are nothing more than highly coordinated, goal-seeking organisms. From the inside, the physical processing that is naturally and autonomically occurring at the centre of our physiology is objectively inaccessible, even while being subjectively present. From the outside, this very same processing is objectively accessible, even while being subjectively absent. In contrast with all other physical processes that we observe, our own central processing seems to be ontologically unique. Because of this, when we conceptually abstract and label it for purposes of discussion, we unwittingly reify it into seeming as though it is, in fact, a non-physical effect (commonly known as "consciousness", "awareness", "cognition", "sentience", "mind", etc) of a physical cause at our centre. This gives us the false impression that there is a real ontological difference (and therefore, a vast explanatory gap) between our subjectivity and our objectivity. The impossibility of filling this non-existent gap with an explanation has come to be known as the "hard problem of consciousness". Practically speaking, all that's REALLY there is a highly coordinated, goal-seeking organism, along with its own central processing, and all that it entails. Other than this central processing, there is no reason why it feels like anything to BE these organisms that we are. Being intermittently occurring natural entities, there is no reason why such organisms emerge in the universe. This realisation is the dissolution of the "hard problem".

The problem is not recognizing consciousness as fundamental and that mind emerges with quantum events. Basing the existence of consciousness, intelligence, and mind on an aggregate of physical elements is deeply flawed, and wrong. We are still in a material age and unfortunately that is all that is perceived. Consciousness, mind, and elements are distinct and separate although aggregate in functioning, due to consciousness and mind It is surprising that anyone who is intelligent can believe that matter is fundamental to consciousness and mind. Like believing a lamp is the cause of the light it emits.

Thinking of matter as fundamental is why we have ‘the hard problem of consciousness’.

The more we learn about life and consciousness it seems that there cannot be another intelligent life in the universe unless it is like us although they may have become like us by another route.

We have a sample size of one - us. That means we don’t know how similar or different from us other conscious entities in the universe may be. We can hypothesize that certain basic functions for sensing the world must exist for conscious creatures to survive.

Its not like we only see edges - its more like we need extra bandwidth to identify edges accurately, its a form of compression.
