What fills the gap of absence of ground for experience is a pragmatic and hierarchic theory of the material world in tandem with a theory of the self, also largely pragmatic and hierarchical. These theories are 'not even wrong' since they are entirely incapable of addressing the question; they succeed instead by misdirection. This is also why alternative theories, such as idealism or panpsychism also fail to do the trick, they are basically modifications of the theory of matter, of the primacy of what matters. It remains strange however how elusive the insight into the failure of such theories is; they are like dreams which in spite of their strange content serve only to prevent you from waking up.
