Indeed. Nagel famously clarified that "an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism—something it is like for the organism." Many found this enlightening. I find it extremely perplexing that this wasn't immediately obvious to everyone. On the other hand, in Tibetan Buddhism there is something called a "pointing-out instruction," where your enlightened nature is pointed out to you. Afterward, you wonder how you could have ever missed it. Perhaps I should treat Nagel's paper as analogous. Like "oh, duh, the lights are on."
