The hard problem of consciousness — David Chalmers

3-Second Blueprint (English)

1. Philosopher David Chalmers separates functional questions of wakefulness, sensory discrimination, and self-monitoring as easy problems.
2. These easy problems ask about objective information processing and behavior, which standard neural mechanisms can in principle explain.
3. By contrast, the hard problem asks how objective neural activity in the brain gives rise to inner subjective experience at all.
