Fair enough. It is just a word preventing people from turning us into soylent green willy-nilly.

To me there's no contradiction.

There are knows: We have shared lucid experiences and we can share contemplations of such.

There are unknowns: What is consciousness, what happens exactly in brain in relation to outside (body, family, room, house, area, town).

It all seems interconnected to the point of break-down when not, for minds especially.
