>All of today's science is logically compatible with the absence of subjective experience, because science cannot even define what subjective experience is.

That just means science is incomplete and we are ignorant, not that subjective experience is metaphysically different from all other observed phenomena.

[cassowary]

It's compatible with both propositions. At the moment we literally have good grounds for making either conclusion, although we have plenty of weak grounds in both directions.

[disconcision]

when you say that are you making an empirical claim or a metaphysical one?
