Is just a misunderstanding by materialists.

You invented a category called matter, which has nothing to do with consciousness, and you attempt to reduce matter into another category which is experiential (consciousness)

The two categories are fundamentally incompatible, which leads you to call this "a hard problem", when in reality reducing one category of a completely different nature into another is just a definitionally impossible task.

You then hide behind complexity with this idea of "emergence". Consciousness somehow merges out of the brain activity.

Emergence and complexity is valid when you are talking about two things within the same category (matter, matter). You can't hide behind emergence when two things are of a totally different category (consciousness, matter); This is hand waving a misunderstanding.

Consciousness clearly exists, and matter can not, by its definition, explain it. Thus, it is time to start with a new basis of reality.
