given that consciousness is inherently subjective (I cannot assert that you or any other human being has a consciousness /lives a subjective experience.), I have doubts that the scientific method will be appliable someday to such a field.



Buddhists write a lot more logically than scientists on the subject. As they point out, "you can not observe an experience", and science relies on observing subjects.


When did Buddhists say "you can not observe an experience"?


Something the Dali Lama talks about in the book "The Art of Happiness".

Or has science come up with a way to observe that now?
