I've written on consciousness in the past, and so readers will not be surprised to find I am in general agreement with this article. "The subjective world of phenomenal consciousness is a fiction written by our brains in order to help us track the impact that the world makes on us. To call it a fiction is not to disparage it... But you shouldn't mistake it for reality either."
