Oh, no doubt. I see the hard problem of mind quite compatible with some ideas about Deism, for example, and one might even choose to define an Idealistic universe as a kind of Mind of God.

However, when I'm asked to start investing my Sundays in an activity, I'd better see some real returns on my investment, because I have dogs to walk, porn to watch, and important naps to take.
