Okay, well I'll get to that in your reading matter I just associate him with the hard problem is all I really meant by that (and he coined the phrase is that right?).
Sorry, forgot to respond to this before. Yes, he's the one who did so, though obviously this is a problem that was considered by people long before him.
I don't know, I don't mind the guy. Even if I didn't agree with him (which I do because the hard problem makes sense to be considered as such), there's a lot of insightful things he has to say that are worth hearing/reading, and it's always good to be exposed to that stuff.
I don't agree with illusionist philosophers like Keith Frankish, but I also don't mind the guy himself. He can explain things quite well, and I've gotten to learn a lot from him listening to Mind Chat, especially.
As for panpsychism, I understand it can come off as "woo-ey" to some people, but it is at least something to be considered/critiqued seriously imo. It's not a theory perse, of course, but it sets a potential starting point for how one could resolve the hard problem eventually.
