I stick with Russell that sense quali are strangely some combination of physical and mental, and with Whitehead that the bifurcation of nature is some kind of mistake. The reality hypothesis seems to work rather better than believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden and I ascribe hope to there being more to vastness than being barred from it forever by the speed of light. I suspect many of our problems with thought stem from the realisation we have been fed dross from birth and cannot work out just how much of our thinking is thus constrained.
