This is probably the most common mistake I see made by these anti-consciousness people. They think the people who point out the hard problem of consciousness and how truly mind boggling it is (recursion plx?) are advocating some dualistic notion that consciousness is some metaphysical fourth dimensional life force or some other new-age bullshit.

These are the same people who label consciousness an /x/ topic, and the same people who also label psychedelics an /x/ topic

Consciousness exists, it is not outside of the realm of science. The fact that many scientifically minded people insist on relegating it to be a new-age /x/ topic means that science is not prepared to engage with the topic yet

I'm conscious, you're conscious, we're all conscious, unless I'm the only conscious one which I find unlikely and unfalsifiable anyway so not worth considering. So let's get real and acknowledge that it's weird as fuck and obviously fucking real
