Before biologists discovered the molecular basis of life, most believed that what separated animate from inanimate beings/objects was a life force, the "Élan vital." I suspect "the hard problem" will eventually dissolve along similar lines, and "the ghost" in the machine that we perceive to be "qualia" is also fundamentally nothing more than physical processes in a particular arrangement.
