It's time to use the p-word! You are at danger of panpsychism, when you observe - phenomenal first person perspective becoming fully unified - hard problem that is resistant to treatment with drugs - multiple sustained clusters of integrated information outside of extended mind

If you think you may have panpsychism: - don't panic, 80 percent of cases are mild and get better by themselves - self quarantine and try not to infect anyone - avoid consciousness conferences - large doses of functionalism and computational constructivism until symptoms resolve

Thank you! Too many people just give up plain old physics and chemistry, and reach for the bottle of "Woo", just because Consciousness is difficult to understand. No, there is no "hard problem", and "qualia" are not magical.

There is a hard problem, and no one thinks qualia are magical. But great strawman, attacking things you don't understand as "woo".

Daniel Dennett disagrees with you, and so do I. I understand the position, which is why I share his dismissal of the so-called "hard problem". When you have more than BS hand-waving, let me know.
