Yeah, it's a big mystery. To you. Like Free Will. The context of the hard problem is David Chalmers differentiating the issue of describing the mechanics of how data is processed in the brain such that there is an aesthetic experience and the issue of what an aesthetic experience it - why it is, how it is. What possible reason would there be for data to turn into such a thing? What specifically are you having trouble understanding about that? Easy problem is a somewhat facetious term, because of course the neuroscience of the human brain is incredibly daunting, but compared to the Hard problem, its just a matter patience and good science to progress steadily toward solving it. The Hard problem is much different because we don't have any idea where to begin. It's snarky to call it the Hard problem, because he really means that it appears to be an impossible problem.
