Daniel Dennet 5 years ago, said,
“Is the Hard Problem an idea that demonstrates the need for a major revolution in science if consciousness is ever to be explained, or an idea that demonstrates the frailties of human imagination? That question is not settled at this time, so scientists should consider adopting the cautious course that postpones all accommodation with it. That’s how most neuroscientists handle ESP and psychokinesisâassuming, defeasibly, that they are figments of imagination.”
So basically he said, the concept of the “Hard Problem” has the same scientific worthiness as ESP and psychokinesis.
