There is an obvious solution to the chicken or egg, if you are a god. Create a hen pregnant with a rooster embryo.

The same could be applied to humanity. Instead of Eve coming from Adam,(rather unusual), Adam came from Eve (rather common). But don't think about it too long or "concerns" may arise regarding their coupling :-)

Hard problem is hard mainly for hard materialists. So, looking at someone working hard to do the Munchhausen trick to save materialism from itself is, hmmm... intriguing. All wisdom traditions in the world have their take on the real structure of the world. Very useful food for worldview-tinkering there. Don't know if our wisdom-challenged civilization can ever catch up. I am waking up to the reality of being a member of a fire-ant-flotilla type of civilization. Fire-ants are (from what I've read) at their worst when they end up floating in flood waters. And maybe the spiritual deluge we are experiencing is useful in opening self-consciousness/self-reflection in fire-ant-sort of humans.
