Melbourne, Australia. Quantum electrodynamics of awareness.
My strategy to solve "the hard problem":
1. Find the locations of conscious experience information.
2. Understand the QED at such locations.
Then the physics of human awareness will be understood.

This is just a test to see if I can upload a video to Bluesky.
I've never uploaded a video to any social site before.
Several mpeg4 formats don't work.
But apparently this webm format does work.
