do you think consciousness is some none-material soul or something ?
Sebastian Young
nope
William Ward
only if you define conciousness to be some meta-physical thing, which it's not
any half way intelligent person can deduce the mechanism that generate self aware behaving entities
Adam Young
nop

No, it's materialism that invalidates hard problem of consciousness.
Jacob Miller
Qualia are fundamentally material, since all examples of minds that we have are inseparable from material brains. Whether they are "illusions" or some sort of emerging property are mere word games; it makes little difference in this regard. But I've yet to come across a hypothesis that gives a reasonable explanation how dualism might function.
Unless one can be provided, the "hard problem" is a trivial footnote in the greater projects of neurology and cognitive sciences.
