As I've posted before, when we know how look at a brain and infer

it's thinking and we know how to build a brain that behaves as we
want,
in other words when we can do consciousness engineering, the "hard
problem" will be bypassed as a metaphysical non-question, like "Where
did the elan vital go?"

This is a position expressed by Jeffrey Gray as follows (he does not
share it):
«What looks like a Hard Problem will cease to be one when we have
understood the errors in our ways of speaking about the issues
involved. If the route were successful, we would rejoin the normal
stance: once our head have been straightened out, science could
again just get on with the job of filling in the details of
empirical knowledge.»
I probably agree more with Gray than with Brent here.
It is simple: by UDA, you will never solve the hard problem of
consciousness without solving the hard problem of matter before, at
least conceptually. And this change the perspective indeed.
