Misleading clickbait title. The interviewee is not at all denying the hard problem of consciousness, he's saying that our conscious experiences are more disconnected, less informationally dense and that we have less insight into our experiences than we believe.
This is one of the more annoying things editors do to other people's writing.
- joe_the_user 8y agoThe interviewee, Peter Carruthers, makes it clear the idea of consciousness that he is addressing and claiming are false. Not all discussion around consciousness necessarily references "The Hard Problem". I suspect David Chalmers and his ideas are more popular in popular discussions than among other philosophers of the mind.
