Vertiginous question

Overview

Benj Hellie has called it the vertiginous question and discussed various responses. A simple response is that this question reduces to "Why are Hellie's experiences lived from Hellie's perspective", which is trivial to answer. But Hellie argues, through a parable, that this response leaves something out. His parable describes two situations, one reflecting a broad global constellation view of the world and everyone's phenomenal features, and one describing an embedded view from the perspective of a single subject. The former seems to align better with the simple response above, but the latter seems to be a better description of consciousness.
