Thanks, an interesting perspective, but I am very much unpersuaded by the argument. At one point they say "we favor Huxley's analogy which regarded “consciousness” as being like a steam whistle on a train—accompanying the work of the engine but having no intrinsic influence or control over it". If consciousness has no impact on cognition, how are we even having this discussion? Our experience of consciousness is driving our arguments about how we are perceiving it. There must be some influence at the very least.
