>The hard problem of consciousness is the problem of explaining how and why we have qualia or phenomenal experiences — how sensations acquire characteristics, such as colors and tastes.

Why is this considered such a "hard" problem? It's just the brain's reaction to the stimulus the senses are picking up on that creates a subjective sensation of "taste" or "color".

"Why" it does this is related to the physical structure of one's brain, The differences in structure from brain to brain are a major part of why things such as taste are interpreted differently from person to person, and why subjectivity even exists.

I guess I'm misinterpreting it, but it just seems relatively simple to me.
