Lots of materialists attempt to resolve this by saying that neural patterns are subjective experience, but this doesn’t actual solve the problem, it just declares it not to exist.
I think there's a symmetry here. One side just declares a problem to exist without any convincing argument other than "it seems so to me" and the other declares it not to exist without any convincing argument other than "it seems so to me". (I'm with the eliminativists, btw.)

It's pretty standard in tech to have stocks as part of your compensation even for entry level positions. I would be surprised if no other highly compensated industries did that. Now, the question is, are the workers at these companies "average Joes"? Dunno. But they probably don't count as elite corporate supermen either. There's way too many of them, for one. (Something, something, if everybody is super, nobody is).
For the average Joe, stocks are a white elephant gift. When and how does he sell them?
He logs into the website of the broker company contracted by the corp to manage stock grants and clicks the "sell" button.
How does he track the taxes on it?
Well, that depends on your country of residence. For example, in one country I'm familiar with, you pay a flat tax on the sale price of any stocks you obtained as part of your renumeration, at the end of the fiscal year in which you sold. There's like an extra form to fill.

Perhaps Scott would be a race scientismist.

Not if it comes with risk of being sanctioned for violating EU environmental regulations and losing access to the cash money.
Now I'm curious. Why were the others cross with her?
