What is Veeky Forums's solution to the hard problem of consciousness? Why is it like something to a complicated mess of chemical reactions?
Hard problem of consciousness

Wyatt Russell
Chalmers is full of shit. There is no hard problem of consciousness.
Oliver Kelly

Thomas Morgan
Interesting idea.
Mind elaborating on why that might be true?
Brayden Rodriguez
Well for starters, qualia is bullshit.
Luis Foster
I'm so fucking sick of these threads. They always devolve into the same fucking arguments and everyone's pissed off by the ends of it. Fuck off.

That sounds like something someone without subjective experience would say. :^)
From my experience everyone who is seriously involved in the arguments seem to get something out of it. If you are sick of it then just stay out of it. Go find your daily undergrad IQ circlejerk thread.
Dennett ignores and/or misunderstands the core question of the hard problem every time he's talking about it. Same thing with your greentext in that picture. You can explain why someone acts a certain way, why I'm talking about consciousness right now only because "I think I feel something", because I'm only "being tricked". If this was only a question of behavior, then you would be right. But this is a question of why it is something like to be me. Why doesn't this "trickery" of just chemistry go on in the dark, without the first person subjective experience?

It's magic. It's the only sane answer
John Wood
I'm experiencing qualia right now.
>anyone who disagrees with me believes in magic and dualism
I disagree because I have not seen a factual logical explanation for sapience, not because I am spooked. I don't know the answer.
