Get the Informational materialism mug.The challenge of explaining how purely material stuff (atoms, forces) gives rise to phenomena that seem immaterial: consciousness, meaning, mathematics, and the laws of logic. If everything is just particles in motion, where does the feeling of pain live? Where does the truth of '2+2=4' exist? The hard problem is reconciling the rich world of experiences, abstractions, and values with a universe supposedly composed of nothing but mindless, valueless matter.
Example: "The materialist explained love as oxytocin and evolutionary advantage. The hard problem of materialism was when his own child was born, and that cold explanation shattered into a billion pieces of awe he couldn't locate in any brain scan, no matter how hard he tried."
