There are some who see it the other way around, that is, everything is consciousness. The Hard Problem is still a mystery. Awareness/consciousness, (they are technically different) still cannot be accounted for in the Western paradigm.

From inside the mind, (no soul required, especially if it is objectified) where is the brain? Subjectively, there is not a hint of one. Objectively, where is the mind? You open up a skull and look at a brain, you see no mind.

Metaphysical realism, reductionism, positivism and hedonistic nihilism have flaws, as do eternalism, etc. The mechanistic model is debatable.
