I know that thoughts an interpretations of physical events but what is the actual thought? As you said they are "electronic pulses in nuerons". Thus they are very real.
One must not confuse the function of a process with the actual process. Only our interpretations are subjective, the real world exists in one form or another. The machinery behind our thoughts exists, without it thoughts would not exist. We can interpret this process of thought and our interpretation becomes subjective but the process remains real.
