Isn’t the problem that the question is impossible to answer.
“Consciousness is more than language, use language to describe it fully. “
I’d just as silly as
“Draw the entire light spectrum even the parts we can’t see, here are some crayons”
Sorry I’m high
Yes, that's essentially what many philosophers call "the hard problem" of consciousness.
You can describe things using referential abstractions that are socially agreed upon between individuals in some sort of social contract.
However, we will never know if what you experience when you see the color we both call "red" is the same that I experience when I see the color we both call "red". It could be that what I experience with "red" is what you experience with "blue" and vice-versa, but we still would agree when we both point a color, since the words we use to explain each of our experiences would still be consistent with the reference we have agreed on.
We agree on what words mean based on what references we make, but you cannot really ever be sure that we are both truly understanding each other in a subjective level. Each subjective experience is personal and nontransferable, you'd need to BE "me" to know what it's like to BE "me". And if you did, then you would no longer be "you" anyway.. so that makes it literally impossible.
