Well, I have two more articles coming out on consciousness over the next week or two, so stay tuned.

This article is meant to make a specific point about the hard problem of qualia. Why do we find subjectivity so baffling, compared to the world of objects which seems more mundane and commonplace? I think it might be partly because of the instinctive fear of death, which blocks us from contemplating the prospect of a mind turning into lifeless matter, and thus from understanding how mind could somehow be nothing more than a material thing.
