I wasn't going to throw-in today because of course we never get anywhere, but I'll just present my usual stance.

What bugs me about the hard problem, or at least the internet warriors who champion it, is they have a dogmatic hitch in their thinking.

Its true that neurology as it stands can only explain the data-gathering and interpreting of things, but not the "experiencer" of things. Thing is, materialism MAY also explain just that, but so many are quick to abandon that tract.

But no, everyone is quick to throw a Kastrup book in my face and say with religious fervor that "no material cause can exist." Just because we cannot know, doesn't mean that it isn't exactly a material cause. We can't just throw that out. Not even Chalmers thinks this way.
