Does anyone have regular casual contact with a "neuroscientist" of the
kind who deny that consciousness exists, and talk about "folk
psychology" (not meaning their own naive ideas on psychology, but
everyone else's)?
I would be interested in knowing how such a person would respond to the
idea that you/we agree that consciousness is an illusion. But so what?
