I was only pointing to other takes on the "Mary" thought experiment that
might clear up (or add) to your puzzlement.

I do think though that attempts by science and philosophy to simultaneously
solve the "hard problems" of "Quantum Enigma" and "Consciousness Enigma" are
doomed to fail philosophically until the science in both fields advances. I
also think part of the reason behind the claim that "philosophy is dead" is
that the specialized areas of science are so varied and technically
difficult in the domains of the "hard problems" that no individual
philosopher, short of a savant, can acquire the detailed depth of
understanding necessary in each of the scientific fields required to be able
to integrate their advances into a coherent whole. It will have to be a
combined effort.
