>blah blah blah.

the only hard problem, IMHO, is keeping all the philosophers who want to
waste our lives talking about the hard problem instead of solving the series
of "easy" problems, which is all there really is.

This "hard problem" phrase is really just an ambit claim for high
intellectual ground, ie., "oh yes, but you biopsych's only study the
non-hard problem ..."
