I don't necessarily assume, but I do believe, that consciousness is an artifact of the complex system of our brains, or any thinking-system-with-a-serious-representation-of-itself. I take umbrage with possibly being considered therefore to be "ignoring the hard problem of consciousness." But more interestingly, I wonder if this has a connection to the recent "internal monologue" meme? Perhaps those of us who don't have much inner speech tend to discount the importance of the consciousness question, and those of us with strong inner speech tend to amplify the importance of consciousness?
